Looks like it was another good race for Brawn today.

Oh major bummer... my DVR failed to record Spain!!!!!

This may be the most one sided year in a long time. It's just odd because of who it is.

[Brent]

Yep, another 1 and 2 finish for Brawn. It seems like Ferrari might have the kinks worked out.

...and Jensen Button wins another one...

Getting monotonous?
Well, at least the other one was a DNF...
I think the Barichello curse is still alive...
Button claimed the tuning was spot on to his driving style for once.

Red Bull clawing their way to the top?
2 - 3 finish...

Attrition was amazing low.
I think only Fisichella and Barichello were the only victims?
Track was fricken' HOT on race day.

Got to see the German GP on replay on SpeedTV early this morning...

Congrads to Mark Webber for the pole and P1 finish!

So it looks like it's a two team race at the mid season point between Red Bull and Brawn GP - two privateer teams!

Congrads to Lewis Hamilton for his first win for McLaren this season at Hungary!
McLaren had the highest placed finish for both drivers as they took 1st and 5th.
McLaren showing signs of vigor at mid-season?
It makes you wonder how Felipe Massa would've done if he didn't crash - Kimi Raikkonen came in 2nd.
Mark Webber rounds out the podium in 3rd - his teammate Sebastian Vettel DNF'd this race - gotta be disappointment for Red Bull.
Brawn GP managed a couple points with Button finishing 7th (Barichello in 10th), so they were basically a non-issue.
That's gotta hurt, as Red Bull is slowly reeling in Brawn GP in both the driver's and constructor's points.

Shaping up to be a great season and... Schumacher is filling in for Massa while he recovers!
Glad to see that it appears Felipe is doing well.

And BMW is calling it quits after this season.

Schumacher vs. Hamilton, should be an interesting race in 3 some-odd weeks.

Wait, it's Valencia....never mind.

[RETed]

I'm sure there was disappoint for many for M.Schumacher not making it for this race.
A prior neck injury preventing him from suiting up for the car.

Congrads to R.Barrichello for winning the European GP at Valencia!
Keen strategy during the two pit stops allow Barrichello to leapfrog competitors to take the win.

Red Bull could've gained precious ground, as J.Button ended up 7th, but a DNF by S.Vettel and an out-of-points finish (9th?) by M.Webber made it a disappointing race for the whole Red Bull team.

Congrads to K.Raikkonen and Ferrari for winning the Belgian GP, but the story has to be G.Fisichella and the Force India team scoring it's first points, pole position in qualifying, and a 2nd place podium finish!

S.Vettel rounds out the podium with a 3rd for Red Bull.

Disappointment for some top drivers L.Hamilton, J.Button, and J.Trulli (qualified 2nd) who DNF'd with a big crash early in the race.

I'm loving the way this year is playing out. Every race is up in the air as is what is going on with the teams and drivers. And next year I think we get 26 cars in the series with the new teams on board.

[Brent]

This has been one of the best seasons that I've been around for. Fisi is now driving for Ferrari!

[RETed]

R.Barrichello notches 2nd win with J.Button coming in 2nd in Monza.
This allows Brawn GP to pad their points versus the 2nd place Red Bull team that showed a dismal performance with M.Webber retiring early and S.Vettel gaining only one point due to a P8 finish.
A.Sutil showed brief glimpses of greatness in the Force India car but was knocked out of the podium at the end of the race.
K.Raikkonen grabbed the last podium spot in 3rd.
L. Hamilton challenged for the top for most of the race, but lost it on the last lap due to aggressive driving.
