| Rest in peace Jules Bianchi (1989-2015). |
Hello everybody!
I was really excited about this week's Grand Prix but have a lot of difficulties expressing those same kind of feelings that I had earlier. It's of course because of what happened to Jules Bianchi. May his soul rest in peace.
It was F1-4-LIFE's 2nd birthday also yesterday but it was the same day as Bianchi's funeral. Don't really feel like celebrating.

Oh and take a look what I wrote a year ago in my Hungarian GP review: "In the future there will be three drivers dominating F1; Ricciardo, Bottas and Bianchi!" Oh god how this made me feel just awful. Poor Jules... I feel so sorry for him and his family. I always liked him and knew how good he was. He was always better than his teammates.
The weekend will be very sad and different but it will get better after every race. I hope the winner dedicates his win to Jules. That would be the right thing to do.
But who might win? I remember that Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen have been very successful in Hungary so they will definitely do well on Sunday.

| Kimi and Lewis have been several times on the podium in Hungary. |
Here's how well they have done in the past:
2001 - Kimi was 7th with Sauber which was pretty ok with that car.
2002 - Kimi was 4th leaving him just barely outside of the podium.
2003 - Kimi was 2nd after starting from 7th on the grid.
2004 - Kimi retired after having electrical problems with his McLaren
2005 - Kimi wins!
2006 - Kimi retires from 1st when overtaking nervous back-markers on a very slippery track.
2007 - Lewis wins in Hungary for the first time! And guess who was 2nd? Kimi!
2008 - Kimi was 3rd and Lewis retired.
2009 - Lewis wins again and guess who is 2nd this time? Kimi again!
2010 - Lewis had gearbox issues and Kimi had left F1 in the end of 2009.
2011 - Lewis was 4th.
2012 - Lewis wins and Kimi was 2nd on his comeback year.
2014 - Lewis was 3rd and Kimi was 6th. Both of them had technical problems.
Don't have really that much to say this time because all I can think about is Jules. Let's move on to the predictions.
Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
The race:
- Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
- Kimi Räikkönen, Ferrari
- Valtteri Bottas, Williams
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
Surprise: Mercedes will start having some technical problems. They can't be that good in every race!
