Budapest leaves us Hungary for more

First off, I'd like to join all those wishing Felipe Massa a full and speedy recovery. It will be a shame if such a freak accident ends his F1 career. But it does beg the question as to who will drive the second Ferrari for the rest of the season. Schumacher, anyone?

But Mclaren's amazing recovery and Brawn's backward step really have thrown a new twist into a season that looked like it was going to come to a premature end. But Button is still in the driving seat. If Webber was to win all the remaining races his final point tally would be 121.5 leaving Button needing 52 points to gain from 7 races - an average of 7.5 points a race. If Hamilton won all the races, Button would need just 20 points or 3 pts a race. However the chances are that races will be split between Mclaren, Red Bull and Brawn - and who would bet against Ferrari sneaking a win? So, the championship to Button provided Brawn can continue to score mid range points at most races.

Another surprise on Sunday was the fine debut of Jaime Alguersuari. It looked like he might have tired in the second half of the race, but he certainly aquitted himself well to finish ahead of Buemi. So much for the hissy fits from many of the established drivers! If you're good enough you're old enough. For a long time he was keeping up with Fisichella. Just checked the fastest laps and his best was 16th out of 18 drivers. Yet another young gun to keep an eye on.

Fevered brows in garages and labs throughout the F1 world. What a shame we have to wait four weeks for the next race.

Webbered

It was great news to see Mark Webber win a grand prix at last. Some drivers just seem to be born unlucky - both Webber and Barichello seem to have suffered an excessive amount of bad luck through the years. But at least Rubens had the good fortune to be in a Ferrari! Anyway, Mark drove his socks off on Sunday and even made team mate Vettel seem ordinary. He could even afford time to take a slow run through the pit lane to wave at his engineers. Just think what he would have done if he hadn't gently nudged Barichello on the run down to turn one!

And then we have Rubens - talk about throwing your toys out of the pram. He really needs to learn to engage brain before mouth. I expect he is back home feeling pretty shamefaced today. As Ross Brawn pointed out, Rubens was only 11th fastest at best! Something makes me think this will be his last season in F1. Webber, on the other hand has probably bought himself a few more years courtsey of his drive. C'est la vie.

The EBAY Postal Menace

The rise of the small Ebay business, whilst no doubt good for the entrepreneur, is a right pain in the ass for anyone who has to queue behind them in the post office. Traditional businesses will have proper arrangements for dealing with their post. They don't just turn up at the post office at lunchtime with a sack and then dominate the counter for the next quarter of an hour as they pull package after package from their bag. Each parcel having to be weighed and receipted - meanwhile a busy office worker looking to post a single letter during their short lunchtime is left fuming. I can see Ebay rage developing if this menace continues to grow.

Why can't the Post Office set aside a quieter time of day for these pests? Either that, or develop a faster weight and quantity based system. They could weigh all the parcels at once and come up with an average weight and price. Or simply charge by weight for the whole batch. Grrr... It can't be that hard.

Of course, I could just be developing into a grumpy old man.
