    Driver of the Hungarian procession

    Who do you think shone the most today?

    For me it's quite difficult to single anyone out, but I'd probably go for Rosberg in lack of a better candidate. He was the fastest driver today, but a poor start ruined his chances. Kimi also had a nice recovery race.

    There's also Alonso for coming best of the rest, but that's all we can say about his race. This was a good track for the McLarens and he delivered.

    I don't agree with the choice of Rosberg at all. He had a poor start, and that was that. He never looked to challenge Hamilton after that at all (maybe he wasn't allowed to post-Austria).

    Maybe Kimi - to improve from 14th to sixth on a track that is notoriously hard to over-take on was quite good, as was not crashing into Verstappen although the Dutchman seemed hell-bent on causing a collision.

    Ultimately, though, I'd go for the dancing track marshalls. They provided the only real highlight of an incredibly dull race.

    Certainly not Rosberg- Hamilton had him under control at all times and pulled out a gap whenever needed.

    Driver of the day, probably Alonso, Hammy and Ricciardo but a boring race overall.

    I think Raikonenn deserves that accolade. He drove a fantastic race from 14th at the start to 6th.

    Räikkönen for sure. Solid drive and strategy by Ferrari, even though he couldn't get by Max the Swerve.

    Max for another display of pretty awesome defending.

    Verstappen clearly moved twice.
    Forza Jules! Forza Michael!

    If he didn't move a second time, how would he manage to take the corner? The first move was to defend, the second move was him simply driving around the turn.

    I am loving his driving style, his defending is very strong but fair - the attacking driver needs skill and commitment.

    Sorry buddy, he should have thought about the corner before making the first move, that's what every other driver do. He drove a crap race today, not impressed with him today. I am a Verstapenn fan by the way.

    The dancing marshals for sure. Highlight of the race.
