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.
Ouch
Piastri is so impressive. One to watch out for. McLaren can let Lando go and still have a top driver now
I'd be starting to think about picking up Piastri over Norris at this point. It's his rookie year and he's on a very similar race pace as Norris, maybe not got the ultimate quali pace yet. Norris took over a year to look this close to Sainz, and never consistantly beat him. He's only going to get better and the McLaren is notoriously unbalanced so he can handle an imperfect car. He's probably cheaper and not on as long a contract. Norris is still the better of the two at the moment but I wonder if he will be for long.

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.

Does piastri have some sort of damage. His pace has dropped like a stone in the 2nd and 3rd stint
Emotional damage from his teammate getting the preferred pitstop?
Update: Apparently there was a broken floor issue. Don’t know how, didn’t see him make any contacts. PIA better hope he does not inherit HUL luck.

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?
Well, masochism is a thing. So, whatever floats your boat. ;-)
How much damage is RIC carrying? Been at the bottom since the lap 1 incident.
It's also his first race back in a car that has done poorly all season

I love the optimism, Sky, but there's no way Hamilton catches Perez from 1.7 seconds behind in one lap.
FFS, Alpine.
Alpine... sheesh.
SAI getting ahead of LEC in the most Ferrari way possible.
NOR undercutting PIA is going to raise some eyebrows.
I missed the first 5 laps, wtf happened?
Zhou got a late start and went bowling instead.
I just watched the clip... Crazy. Alpine has the worst fucking luck this season.
They swapped straight to the podium positions and started the circular procession.
Most significant was Renault-domino (I'm going to ignore the Alpine brand for the rhyme): Zhou bumped into Ricciardo, who bumped into an Alpine, who bumped into an Alpine.
RB 1.9s pit stop?
Leclerc, c'mon. You don't have to make it even harder
Ferrari's resident strategist Sainz at it again.
I just laughed because I noticed Verstappen could pit again and still get back on track in first position.
Did HAM get wheelspin? Yesterday they were saying the side Max was on would be dusty and would have relatively worse start.
Ferrari strategists having another brain fart. Car with potentially faster tyres is stuck behind his teammate:
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'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.
Ooh how long has there been a sort by new / chat button?
Let's see if this was worth waking up for...
Max v Lewis still spicy as ever
What an oddly slow start for the front group.
Well guys, Hungary was fun, see you in Spa.
Nooo Lewis!
Thats rough going for them
5 seconds for double DNFing Alpine 😂
Lots of early stoppers. Going to be a mix of 2 stoppers and 3 stoppers.
