His luck was that Rosberg was behind him and not Lewis. I think that Rosberg had some issues with his car - probably setup related. And I do not know what is Mercedes doing with their starts - they have serious issues at last few races with wheelspin

Guys, was this the best race of the season or what?
And whatever happened, I had nothing to do with it. Otherwise we would've had Kimi on P2.

Well in Seb
What a race
What a race
This is one of those races which encapsulates everything about the sport from beginning to end. Amazing start from Ferrari, tons of twists and turns along the way. Tragedy for Rosberg and Raikkonen, redemption for Hamilton. Great tribute from Vettel at the end too.
The most exciting Hungary race ever, and it'll probably stay this way for a long time.

Nice message from Vettel there in the end. The last two races have been so fun to watch for various reasons.

This is hilarious.
He congratulated the team on Itallian, made a tribute to Jules in French and then summed it up in English saying the win was for him and his family and that we all knew he would have eventually been a part of Ferrari.

How many times did they have to apologise for the language?
But it is kinda his fault, could have gotten a penalty for moving across at that exit.

I like Vettle at Ferrari.
He seems like a totally grounded, down to earth dude.
That speech at the end there for JB was a lovely gesture.

I realize that Vettel is the only guy in the top 5 who actually worked properly for his position. Alonso drove fine but it's still just massively lucking out. Kvyat really didn't earn that podium though any of his own efforts and really should not be in front of Ricciardo. His 10 second penalty for the off-track pass was very lenient considering how much he benefited from it.
Don't know what to think of Hamilton extending his lead but Nico drove like such shit the first two stints. Then, after finally getting on top of things, breaks Ricciardo's front wing like a dumbass. It's Lewis' own fault he went off on the first lap but he drove like mad after that... but then hacked up Ricciardo? Out of character for him. Man, what a weird race. And HONDA DOUBLE POINTS FINISH! THE HELL IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?
Was expecting the most boring race of the year. Oops.

Maybe I missed it but why did Rosberg not switch to the options for the last stint? Looking at the time difference I would have thought it would have been an easy victory if he made that decision.
He will.

mercy starts are totally fucked right now, and their mid pack race pace isn't really great either. possible cloudy days ahead. but super gutsy and lucky for hamilton today despite everything, magically extending his lead somehow.

On that note, I wish Schumacher could witness Vettel at Ferrari.
Don't think any reasoning has been given yet.
Well, he had the pace for the win today.
Not really, Hamilton car was already damaged.
The one time we see him without a big smile is him on the podium. That's kind of funny.

What a race... still can't believe that Lewis still managed to extend his lead despite everything's that's happened. 4 points, too.
Mercedes needs to fix their starts pronto. Presumably, the rule change from next race will probably level the playing field.
Kvyat only getting 10 seconds penalty is ridiculous. Lewis got 20 or 25 seconds at Spa 2008 for the same offense.
Lewis could have definitely extended his lead even more if he had a good start; he easily had a 0.5s on Rosberg all race and Rosberg would have likely finished off the podium.

Verstappen started ninth, had a bad start and dropped to 12th (might have been 13th, not sure), made his way back up, ate a drive through and still finished fourth.
Give the kid some credit.

A podium without silver once in a while is quite nice.
Merc pit wall is trash. The car flatters them greatly. If they had a red bull-esque advantage they'd lose a lot more races.
Something something Sainz is better than Max lol.

He's been my favourite for ages now. Definitely going to have a championship in the future.
