What a race we got, man! It was incredible from the start to the end. The huge accident among many drivers in the first lap already was really shocking to see. Bottas, Leclerc, Stroll, Perez and Norris were out because of the incident. And Verstappen got a hit also unfortunately. He had a big damage on his car and it was not a reparable one in pit. So, he had to race like that if he didn't want to retire the car. And he did his best with this broken car but he was able to finish only as the 10th. At least, he got 1 point which could be really important in terms of the title race. Hamilton made a huge comeback and managed to be on the podium finishing as the 3rd. But Alonso was definitely the driver of the day. He defended Hamilton for many laps incredibly well. Thanks to him, Ocon and Vettel were able to keep their places and Ocon made it! His best placement was being the 2nd before this one and now he won a race! But to be honest, I would like to see Vettel winning this race.

I only come here to say the same i say all the times. PLEASE FIRED BOTTAS
I cant believe people here still defending he, is a mediocre driver and now its goind down mental.
I want Vettel to win but that pitstop cost him the victory.

Totally missed that one but just reading the tweets and live reports was one confusing heck of a game!

Bottas was my outright so killed right off the get go, but I managed to take the 3.8 F1 Special on under 16.5 cars finishing. Hungary proves to be as treacherous as ever but man Ocon taking the course and all podium finishers 12 seconds ahead of the pack? I think Ocon was 80/1 IIRC on one bookie.

@darxiaomi haha okay okay. I won't bet on him anymore =D

[TheGreatPython]

^Hamilton winning qualifiers is not really that shocking, dude is 7 time world champion so it is normal that he ends up in pole time to time, we are so used to Max being at pole at this point that we are shocked whenever he is not. He wasn't even second this week, he will start at second line which is why I honestly think that it is not going to be easy for him at all, he may end up passing Bottas as we can all imagine, but Hamilton getting that huge advantage may end up with going on a big lead right after second or third lap, I can see Bottas holding up Max long enough to get Hamilton put like some 5+ second difference, even maybe 10 if he is lucky after third lap, then even if Max passes Bottas, it is not going to be possible to reach to Hamilton after that, which is why I think this race depends on Bottas a lot, and of course if any risky things happen or not.

Amazing race! This one just made the History F1 books because we had so many elements and key factors that made this race unique and most likely it will pass some time until we can see another race like this one.

What should I begin with ? The fact that Bottas was sleeping after start ? The unlucky cars of RedBull who were just in front of Bottas and Norris ? or the other crazy calls like Russel making everyone going to pit-stops and changes tyres , Ocon driving without a single mistake , Lewis comeback race until p3, Vettel who fought all the race in dirty air behind Ocon and the masterpiece of Alonso vs Hamilton who was amazing to watch!

All this factors made the race unique and lovely to watch! Massive congrats to Ocon


Wow! Massive congrats to Steve as well! I had only Alpine to finish with both cars in points hehe.

[qwertyup23]

Perfect start from Norris and Bottos shoot out all two RedBull with Norris as shot.

Now there is safty car already after the first lap. The cards are reshuffled, but the race already starts badly for Max, no luck for Verstappen and RedBull. So already red flag... And restart later.

Man, that was a heartbreaking race for both the RedBulls and Norris. Man, seeing Seb finishing 2nd and going to the podium makes me really emotional as it kinda reminds me of his glory days in RedBull.

Nevertheless, congratulations to Esteban for winning this Hungarian Grand Prix! He was really consistent on this race and it showed his skill throughout the race. Lastly, the battle between Hamilton and Alonzo was a sight to behold- Alonzo still has it.

Funny apologies from Mercedes to Red Bull.

Ocon: "wow,wowwowwowwowowow... first victory, first of many!"

Reporter to Alonso: "Not bad for an old man!"

Me!!!

Man, I am so proud of you. 251/1, I'd be shining that for showing off every Christmas on my F1 mantelpiece if I had one. Well done Steve!

Still recovering from Bottas's bulldoze move. Still not even sure I was not dreaming.

And ocon was 500x odds!! What a huge dog win, love it!

[NeuroticFish]

Me!!!

True fan, huh? Congrats!

I've missed the first 10 laps, when I've turned TV on it looked like a bad dream. I have to see a rerun of the start. It looks like it was... very bad.
Congrats to Ocon, congrats to Seb (although I've read that sadly he got disqualified) and congrats to Alonso too for the very good race.
Great move for Gasly with the fastest lap 

[rdbase]

That was an unexpected race from beginning to end. Well done to those who managed to take Ocon @501x odds and Alpine @251x.
Cause the only way for them to get this kind of result would be from a crash out.

In some rather shocking turn of events it looks like Vettel was disqualified from this race due to not providing a fuel sample at the end.
So Hamilton moved up to second place and 3rd place went to Sainz for Ferrari.

Does anyone know what happens with the Vettel situation? Not like he won, so I do not think that anyone would be doing any worse but I know few places have "podium" bets so I just wanted to ask if in general people know what happens with that. When people accused me for being a Max fanboi because of Silverstone crash and I said it was 100% Hamilton fault and even a bit deliberate as well, hell even heard someone say I am racist like crash had anything to do with someone's skin color somehow?

However THIS is a racing incident, Bottas was out, dude just got a lock up and hit Lando, not like he would want that neither, this is first career out of Bottas in first lap, dude never got out in first lap before, this was 100% racing incident, even though it hurts me as Max supporter, this was fair racing with a unlucky ending.

yeah I think Bottas was not totally at fault for the accident as he could be not expected Norris to brake so early infront of him and since he was so close of him he didn't have enough time to react and wanted to take back some of the spots he lost for the bad start he was focused on gaining back his position,
For me Stroll accident with Leclerc should have gone punished since he took him out while he was out of the track and Leclerc was next to him trying to avoid the chaos infront and Stroll just came from the inside and out of the track smash him he could avoided that by Turing that turn while he was outside I don't think he would be blamed for violating track limit since he didn't have anywhere else to go.

I am not a supporter of Max, but we must understand that in the previous race Hamilton risked being left without continuing the race himself and everything would have remained at the same level about the gap in the championship. The same situation is about Bottas ' accident, you need to have a very good prediction of the situation to think that entering one rider can lead to such wonderful consequences for the team. The most disappointing thing is that we were not able to see the Red Bull cars in normal combat conditions, although I, as a relatively outside observer, am pleased to see that there is an intrigue in the championship again, rather than at the beginning of the championship, when it seemed that Mercedes would not be able to present Red Bull at the end of the season.

Is FIA literally ruined Vettel race because he stood in dirty air behind Ocon all the race trying to overtake so I don't know if the speculation with his fuel giving extra power can be true. I mean , I can understand that they couldn't take the necessary fuel from it's fuel tank but to D/Q him just because of this seemed to much.

I can also say that Sainz worked a lot in that race and did everything to keep Hamilton on p3 and keep that podium for himself but if I were to chose a pilot who deserved the podium more than Sainz would be Alonso who drove on his birthday like he was 20 again.

Rules are rules, and it is quite obvious that the rules about fuel were also invented for good reason, because the less fuel in the car, the lighter it is, respectively, and the correspondingly higher speed it can develop on a circle. I am sorry that this happened with Vettel, but the requirements are more or less clear here and it is impossible to refer to the non-obvious wording. It is not entirely clear why Aston Martin was sure that after extracting 300 milliliters of fuel, there should have been another 1.44 liters left in the tank and how they are going to prove this. It's nice that Alonso at this age continues to show a high level of driving a car and it's not for nothing that Fernando was recognized as the driver of the day.

While this might be true, Hamilton' crash with Verstappen should have also been handled differently. If an event has tremendous impact on the race and it is a behavior that needs to be punished, the punishment should be in relation to what the misbehavior by the driver caused to happen. Vettel might have been lighter, therefore faster. But he got fully disqualified. Hamilton kicks out Verstappen, wins the race and probably the championship. 10 seconds penalty. Huh...

Now there is safty car already after the first lap. The cards are reshuffled, but the race already starts badly for Max, no luck for Verstappen and RedBull. So already red flag... And restart later.

Man, that was a heartbreaking race for both the RedBulls and Norris. Man, seeing Seb finishing 2nd and going to the podium makes me really emotional as it kinda reminds me of his glory days in RedBull.

Nevertheless, congratulations to Esteban for winning this Hungarian Grand Prix! He was really consistent on this race and it showed his skill throughout the race. Lastly, the battle between Hamilton and Alonzo was a sight to behold- Alonzo still has it.

Without Alonso, Ocon probably wouldn't have won, Alonso was keeping Hamilton very well behind him until his braking mistake, that cost Hamilton a lot of time. Perfectly done by Alonso.

On Vettel's disqualification, Aston Martin have now appealed it, claiming there was enough fuel in the tank.

I think it would have won without Alonso too but I doubt Vettel would have been on 2nd position as Lewis was coming like a rocket. However, the ego of Alonso made him driving like he was back in 2004 in his Renault and he kept duel Hamilton for his position for more than 6 laps if I remember correctly.

I'm shocked after I saw yesterday in eau rouge in Spa ...that accident was horrible to watch.

Hm, I don't see that appeal to be ending in a success if there just wasn't enough fuel in the tank. I would be quite surprised because that's just an objective measurement which has to be in conformity with the rules right? If they appeal now, are they seriously appealing that the amount of fuel was measured wrongly? Or are they arguing on moral grounds?
