I thought the top 7 all had very good races. I'm including Massa (who is notoriously bad in the wet) for beating down Bottas, and Kimi for going 17th to 7th in a POS, helping his team to their best points haul of the season (I think). I'm glad Kimi earned his paycheck today!

Lots of great driving today.
Hamilton, Ricciardo, Alonso. Not necessarily in that order.
Hamilton for finishing on the podium from starting not only in the pit lane, but behind Magnussen in the pit lane. Before the race, everybody was talking about how he was screwed because of the difficultly of overtaking at the Hungaroring, but he was able to make a whole bunch of passes in making his way forwards.
Ricciardo really must be making Vettel nervous by now.
Alonso for somehow bringing in his bright red heap of junk in a podium position.

For me Alonso. There is no way that car should be on the podium with the class of drivers and cars currently, but he put it there again this season, and did so on shot tires.
The rest are hard to rate really. With the exception of Rosberg going backwards, everyone in the top 10 earned their money today. Button landing in 10th after that stupid tire call by the team is still working hard to get there in that pig of a car.

Alonso - shows today why he is still the most complete driver on the current grid. Was gutted he didn't win but only him and Hamilton or maybe Rosberg could do what he did today with that car.
Hamilton - benefitted from the safety car yes but it's not like Abu Dhabi where Vettel benefitted from about 3 safety cars and got third. Lewis worked hard, made one mistake but that's it. Faultless otherwise. I'm also very proud of him that he ignored the team orders.
Ricciardo - what a star he is turning out to be. He may very well walk with the greats. I look forward to seeing more of what this exceptionally likeable guy can do! So happy he is still showing how average and overrated Vettel is too
Vergne - honorable mention to him for putting the Torro Rosso somewhere it should have never been at the front of the grid!
Great race

Some great drives from quite a few drivers.
Ricciardo, Hamilton, Alonso, Rosberg, Vergne in that order.
Daniel is really putting the pressure on at Red Bull and none of us expected him to perform this well against Vettel. Hamilton has always had a knack of working his way through the field and had a great drive from the pitlane. Alonso had some juicy wheel to wheel battles and has been a pleasure to watch these last few races..

Hamilton - Pit lane to podium. Spectacular drive.
Alonso, for reasons already mentioned.
Ricciardo - brilliant overtaking. A joy to watch a future champion.
Kimi - Finally a decent effort from him.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

That was the plan. Not sure where that project is currently. But they have good data from rally 2 car now. In some countries the rally 3 car can become national top class. Rally 2 are getting to...
Rally 3 class
