Then I'll hope that he finally has his head screwed on right and can deliver consistently. His speed is not in question; his mental fortitude is however.

You mean you'll go watch the actual race after you obviously played Grosjean in the video game.

My usual routine whenever a driver takes his first win, which is dangerously close to what HoldenRT said: i.e. not much.

Though now I'll also come back to this thread and congratulate you on the prediction.

Stupid responses. Grosjean could have won the German GP without the unneccessary deployment of the Safety Car. Why is it not possible at Hungary where he happened to drove well last year?

What can a random F1 fan do about a win? Nothing. What did we do when Maldonado won the spanish 2012 GP?

As for the paddock maybe they will think diferently of Romain, starting by his own team.

"COULD HAVE" don't exist in F1.
Fact is he didn't won.

Also:
1. Vettel was ahead before the SC and still ahead after the final pit stop and faster
2. Kimi was fast catching up on him during second stint before SC, after clearing the mercs...and faster after the SC

= noting indicates Gro was to win.

Actually I hoped they should not deploy the SC as I think that scenario was to be a lot more interesting.


If Gro wins in Hungary I will say WELL DONE!

Grosjean was 2 stopping whilst Vettel was 3 stopping. Grosjean would most likely have won without the safety car.

Actually it does. Senna didn't win the 1984 Monaco GP but he could have, in fact would have. He didn't need to win to impress the paddock. Similarly, Grosjean should be applauded for a very impressive drive. He was in a great position before the safety car after running such a good first stint.

Then again Kimi was catching both of them massively( with old tyres) before safety car and maybe won the race.

In before that horrible aussie moron brings the usual bile.

I'd be very happy that he is showing his true speed and the level at which he was in junior racing.

It's curious how not only Grosjean, but Massa and Webber as well, get such praise whenever they get near their teammates.

I'll Wonder why Vettel, Webber, Alonso, Massa, Button, Perez, Raikkonen, Rosberg, Hamilton, Di Resta, Sutil, Hulkenburg, Riccardo, Verne, Bottas and Maldonado all crashed.

If Grosjean wins the Hungarian Grand Prix, a 100-page thread will be opened about how Lotus management is so incompetent that they did not order Grosjean to let Raikkonen past in the interest of the championship. Bouiller is quoted as saying that as Kimi is leaving anyway, Romain is their future number one driver and the win helps with the confidence.

Another thread will be opened with people asking whether Red Bull should actually offer the second seat to Grosjean rather than the older Raikkonen.

Third thread asks a question. Is Grosjean a future WDC? Does this win unlock his enormous potential? Most people disagree and say that you jump to conclusions too early based on one race.

Fourth thread reminds us that this is the first French F1 driver to win for 17 years. Yes, the last one was Panis in 1996. The French are back in the business!

Fifth thread is astonished, how the stewards were passive and did not award Grosjean a drive through penalty for pushing both front-row starters Vettel and Hamilton off in the first corner. "He still doesn't know, how to start a race." However, there is mild praise by saying that Grosjean was skilled (or lucky depending on person) enough to keep his own car intact this time, even if Vettel and Hamilton got damage. Another thread tells us that Hamilton still hasn't learnt anything from 2011 how to avoid crashes and that Vettel not only can't overtake, but can't defend either.

If the Lotus can keep on top of its tyres for the rest of the season I think a Grosjean win is very possible this season.

I, and I suspect I am not alone, still regard Grosjean as a bit 'crashy into other cars-y' but overall I still like him. I think Kimi is the superior Grand Prix driver by some margin, but Grosjean can be mighty quick. I actually think it will be very good for the sport if he can mature into a race winner.
