Nope. Jenson Button won in Hungary last year.

Hope so. His performances so far suggests he's due a win.

There's already a German Grand Prix in Hockenheim, I guess it's to distinguish between the two.
Why there are two races in Germany is a different question altogether, and I don't know the answer to that question...

Just to clarify, next year there will be a German Grand Prix in Hockenheim, then it's back to the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring the following year, and so on.

Hmmm
I'm not sure.
Hamilton ignored team strategy and repeated requests to pull over and let Alonso through earlier on (on the pretext that Kimi might have got through too). That was wrong (at least from the team perspective). He has apologised and promised not to do it again. But ...
There aren't any more circuits this season where qualifying position is SO crucial. This is the last of the 'no-passing' tracks.
What Alonso did was wrong but it was retaliation. Lewis was out of order and he admited it.
Nonetheless I hope he goes on to win the Championship.
