    Sometimes they try to be too clever for their own good.
    like I said, it was clear to me that they should have gone into the pits.
    I saw it after turn 3 on the warm up lap. And Toto is wrong.
    They did not do the right thing.
    If they pitted and everyone else did not, then they would have come out with a clear advantage, if everyone else had to come in after a lap to change over.
    So they actually flipped a win-win situation to a loose-loose.
    you can't argue with results.

    The stewards never fail to put a sour note on the events.
    Hauling in Ocon and Vettel to their office for useless infractions.
    Instead of standing with the LGBTQ community, they are going to side with a bigoted right-wing authority.
    Well done FIA. laughable

    Sebastian Vettel made the most of the bizarre Grand Prix to take a shock P2 at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Aston Martin did everything he could and in the end was not far off Esteban Ocon which left the German feeling disappointed as the victory was in sight.

    To be fair, it was braindead what Ocon did after the race. He knows full well he should have gone back to the pits. I am unsurprised, Ocon is not the smartest.

    As for Vettel, he knew the procedure and should have removed the t-shirt. He has received a reprimand.

    Maybe Alonso doesn't like Hamilton...

    I wonder if this seals Bottas fate?

    Yeah it definitely wasn't a very good effort on Mercedes part today. Hamilton did a remarkable comeback drive after his opening mistake.

    Red Bull wasn't to smart on strategy either. They still thought they were racing Hamilton and didn't recognize they were racing the rest of the field until it was to late.

    First half of the season was entertaining. Hopefully the 2nd half will be just as entertaining. But Red Bull is in trouble. They will be taking a lot of grid penalties in the future for having to replace different stuff from all the accidents the last 2 weeks.

    Mercedes will be delighted with bottas today, worked perfectly for them.

    Unbelievable. I was screaming at the TV for them to pit and they didn't. This is the absolute most stupid strategy in the world. The team is a complete joke in strategy. Utter stupidity
    Do you have any idea how embarrassing you are with these constant fanboy hissy fits?

    How dare Alonso race for position. Especially against sir Lewis. Totally unfair and disrespectful.

    Nothing wrong with what Alonso did today. He did go to the edge of what was acceptable but I think it was fine. He got his team the win and that was the big picture.
