We head into the last 3rd of the season and the title race begins to become the major focus of attention. Baumgartner has increased his lead to 8 points with a possible 60 available, so mathmatically, everyone is still in the race. Baumgartner will need just 3 points without Firman scoring to end the World Champion's hopes of retaining the title.
Also, the Constructors Championship is still really close and with a possible 98 maximum available, no team can be eliminated from the equation at this race. The Prediction Championship saw the leader for the entire season so far, Der Nazi, win and pick up an extra point in the last round and increase his lead from 8 points to 17 with 60 remaining.
Let's get into the information that might help when you are doing the predictions. [URL]http://www.freewebs.com/gpsr/srf1.htm[/URL] for the current driver line up. Please check the site as not everyone I mention in the preview is racing this year!
Qualifying is usually a very close affair with less than a tenth covering half the field in 2003. Surprisingly, Da Matta came through to take pole position in 2003, his only real decent showing, ahead of Firman and Irvine (not racing this year) in the Senna GP (now MG F1).
Both Baumgartner and Salo were not racing last year so we'll focus on the chasing pack. Button started 15th, Villeneuve started 13th, Ralf Schumacher was 17th, Montoya started 6th, Barrichello was 18th and Pizzonia was 19th.
The race saw Da Matta fall away to his best ever finish of 6th and Firman take an easy victory. Wilson (not racing this year) finished 2nd in the Minardi and Coulthard 3rd. There were also 7 retirements, which is quite a lot in SR F1.
Out of the drivers I mentioned earlier, Button retired with a throttle problem, Villeneuve got 1 point for 8th, Ralf Schumacher retired with a puncture, Montoya finished 4th and got 5 points, Barrichello finished 11th and Pizzonia finished 10th.
Here is some more information that might be of some help when predicting:
Lap Records:
Qualifying: 1m14.092s - Da Matta (Toyota) Set in 2003
Race: 1m14.570s - Frentzen (Arrows - Now MG F1) Set in 2002
Previous winners:
2002 - Montoya (Williams)
2003 - Firman (Jordan)
Top 3 Qualifying Last Year:
1st Da Matta (Toyota)
2nd Firman (Jordan)
3rd Irvine (Senna GP - Now MG F1) NOT RACING THIS YEAR!
Top 3 Race Last Year:
1st Firman (Jordan)
2nd Wilson (Minardi) NOT RACING THIS YEAR!
3rd Coulthard (McLaren)
Top 3 Drivers after Round 13 last year:
1st Firman 54pts
2nd Alonso 45pts NOT RACING THIS YEAR!
3rd Villeneuve 40pts
Top 3 Constructors after Round 13 last year:
1= Renault 78pts
1= Jordan 78pts
3rd B.A.R 73pts
Onto the predictions. First of all, I've been playing with this idea so let me know what you think. As currently no one owns Baumgartner, I was thinking that if he did go on to win the title, the winner of the Prediction Championship will be given the Drivers Championship as well. Let me know what you all think of that and if you have any other ideas, let me know.
As for the current prediction championship, Der Nazi has a 17 point lead over Mike Swade and Ineedsleep. The chasing pack is getting pretty bunched up. REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL I HAVE MENTIONED IN THE PREVIEW ARE RACING THIS YEAR!!

Hungary is a very tough race on car and driver and with so much on offer, one mistake could turn the tide. Hope to see you all predicting and at the qualifying and race next week.
