Still fancy Ferrari's powertrain to overtake the Mercedes down the main straight eventually. P3 would be a great result for George

What the feck was that with Perez? He is in terrible form.
Great lap from Russell.
Shame for Hamilton, without his DRS issue I wonder where he’d have placed. Top 4 somewhere I’d have thought.
And so unlucky for Max too. He’d surely also have been up there.
All makes for a great race though.
I can already think of 150 ways Ferrari will feck this up though!

He’s generally weak except on certain tracks in qualifying. But his amount of disparity in performance between circuits is crazy. On some he can be right up with Max. On others you’d question if he was even a top half driver on the grid. It’s really, really weird.
Has Leclerc changed his engine? I don't see Ferrari lasting that long.
Yeah, he was one of slowest drivers in last race too.

My boy Pierre in P19 
It doesnt help his cause that the RB updates have made the car more pointy at the front end which is how max likes it and perez doesnt.
It seems that the car for the 6-8 races wasnt snappy at the front end which max likes (oversteer). So perez was alot closer to max during that run of races. The recent updates have pushed it more towards max's drivig style and away from perez style. Perez is going to have to live with it and adapt. Hes the no2 driver. Accept it, work with his race engineer to get the setup to what he wants within the confines of the car. Easier said than done.
Any chance of rain??
Defo looks possible.
Cheeky Lando win
It's been raining on and off all morning. Just about drying up now but rain in the area.
Could be a wet part of the race at some point.
Add rain to the grid line up we have and we could be in for a classic.
Max has a new engine for the gp.

Please rain
So starting at the back?
I’d expect some big lock ups into turn one and three on the first lap. With the positions of the faster cars on the grid, and potential rain it could be an interesting race today.
Got it. I’d have potentially gone for a new set and take the penalty here. Given is starting position. But who knows
Those flag bearers 
It's going to be a wet race, anyone can win this.
Rain coming!
Can they change tyres on the grid? If so I’m assuming they’re only allowed to change from dries to wets in the event of a weather change.
Yes they can change tyres on the grid
Inters are going on now.
My predictions could be in for a hit but I'd take that for an exciting mixed up race
Could be a race for Norris.
No penalty
Looks like they will have stop for inters within a couple of laps, pitlane is going to be a mess.
Medium should be the right tyre to start, wait for the rain to come before pitting. Softs could go off pretty quickly
Is this normal for this season to start at the 15:00 for instance, and not as before at 15:10?
Yeah, they changed it back to the formation lap starting at the hour this season.
Wouldn't it be worth someone like Ricciardo starting on inters if the rain is coming? Then he's set up while everyone else comes in?
Cheers, those ten minutes annoyed me.
No point starting on the inters, it‘ll be far too slow and the track isn’t wet enough
Cheers guys. Rain hasn’t come properly yet so I jumped the gun a bit but I’ll know for next time
Blimey - no accidents in the first lap, a rarity for Hungary.
Hand in there russell lad
Spoke too soon…
Surely that needs sweeping up?
What's with Russel and the VSC, makes full adavatage of it two races in a row.
Alonso not happy.
