Power rankingsAnother exciting race as round 11 of the 2008 Formula One is in the books. The Hungaroring gave us some interesting morsels to chew on for the next three weeks till Valencia. So what did we learn in Budapest? Dan Brunell goes into details through the field.

In this special edition of F1 Power Rankings, Dan Brunell uses the not so ancient Japanese art of Haiku to liven things up.

I'm going to hold you to
I'm going to hold you to your promise of never again doing Haiku. It was an interesting exercise, but really doesn't work.
I quite like it
Actually I kinda like it - it was a bit different ...
