For a first race back having being taken out in T1, Ricciardo has done a wicked job here. Tsunoda obviously not had the best race of the year, but he's 10s behind right now.

Zhou bowling! Strike!

Alpine having a nightmare.

Piastri is so impressive. One to watch out for. McLaren can let Lando go and still have a top driver now

Does piastri have some sort of damage. His pace has dropped like a stone in the 2nd and 3rd stint

Very big gains and losses on lap 1. Good for Ferrari and McLaren, mixed bag for Merc, Alfa and Alpine the big losers.

Fucking Ferrari! The car is shit, the strategists are shittier and now the drivers are fucking up.

Why am I supporting this team?

McLaren's pace seems legit, which is cool, and fast corners at Spa should suit them even more than Hungaroring. Good job to the Woking boys.

Aston Martin and Ferrari should have been better here, so a middling performance behind Merc and McLaren doesn't look good. Maybe just putting all their eggs in to next year's basket?

Mercedes looked back to their usual performance levels after a great qualifying lap from Hamilton yesterday

Alpine is such a disaster of a team, I want to like Enstone like I did in the 2000s with Alonso and early 10s with Raikkonen, but they're just tragic. Today wasn't even their fault, but it's such an Alpine thing to happen.

Perez was better today, especially on a track that's hard to pass, but Ricciardo looked like he has a bit of a spark back. With Verstappen running away with every race I can't deny that I wouldn't mind giving Daniel a shot in the RBR at this point. Anything to make the battle for the lead a little bit different.

Great Quali pace from Alfa Romeo turned in to a typically pointless race result. While the Ferraris, Perez, Russell and Alonso were likely to get by, Albon in the Williams should definetely not have finished ahead of them. Considering the money Audi is starting to invest in the team I hope they begin to see more results.

FFS, Alpine.

How much damage is RIC carrying? Been at the bottom since the lap 1 incident.

I love the optimism, Sky, but there's no way Hamilton catches Perez from 1.7 seconds behind in one lap.

Alpine... sheesh.

Leclerc, c'mon. You don't have to make it even harder

I missed the first 5 laps, wtf happened?

SAI getting ahead of LEC in the most Ferrari way possible.

NOR undercutting PIA is going to raise some eyebrows.

Ferrari's resident strategist Sainz at it again.

RB 1.9s pit stop?

Oh my god, Ocon and Gasly that's terrible

HAM defending PER might give us a McLaren double podium.

Did HAM get wheelspin? Yesterday they were saying the side Max was on would be dusty and would have relatively worse start.

Oh how I've missed Alonso defending here haha

Zhou had the worst start possible, ending 4 promising races. Lewis also got caught out.

What a quick end to a lot of potential fun :(

I just laughed because I noticed Verstappen could pit again and still get back on track in first position.

Ferrari strategists having another brain fart. Car with potentially faster tyres is stuck behind his teammate:

Well guys, Hungary was fun, see you in Spa.

Unless something drastic changes, I guess it will be VER-PER-NOR

5 seconds for double DNFing Alpine 😂

Max v Lewis still spicy as ever

Let's see if this was worth waking up for...

I'm just stoked to see races where there is some competition! This one's shaping up to be a good one!

Hoping to see a clean first lap. Would be great to see Norris get a good start even for a few laps.

Woke up late and missed the first few laps. Dammit.

Super sucky for Alpine. Their third double DNF after Australia and Silverstone.

Thats rough going for them

Lots of early stoppers. Going to be a mix of 2 stoppers and 3 stoppers.
