    Jenson Button: "Pedal's going to the floor, pedal's going to the floor."

    Engineer: "We've lost hydraulic prerssure."

    Button: "Game over."

  3. Lap 4/70published at 13:11 British Summer Time 24 July 2016

    Problems for Jenson Button. He is dropping down the order after starting eighth. 

    He's lost hydraulic pressure.

    "Game over," says the Brit. What a shame. All McLaren hope rests on Fernando Alonso, who is currently sixth.

    Ricciardo being slightly held up by Hamilton allowed Rosberg to get through going into Turn Three.

  6. Lap 3/70published at 13:09 British Summer Time 24 July 2016

    Lewis Hamilton slams his foot down and rattles off the fastest lap with a 1:26.873 as he looks to build his advantage from Nico Rosberg, who is second now ahead of Daniel Ricciardo after moving back ahead of the Australian with an attack at Turn Three.

  7. LAP 2/70published at 13:07 British Summer Time 24 July 2016

    Disaster for Nico Rosberg as he gives up first place right from the start. Lewis Hamilton is now one second ahead and it's going to be tough for Rosberg to battle back.

    Meanwhile, Kimi Raikkonen, who has finished on the podium here more than any other current driver, is up one place to 13th.

    Hamilton has really got the hammer down. One of the trademarks of Hamilton is he is able to get on it very quickly.

    Now he's got the lead of the grand prix, Hamilton should be able to pull away.

    Lights out!

    It's initially a good start by Nico Rosberg but Daniel Ricciardo is immediately on the attack! He sweeps past the two Mercedes on the outside at the first corner while Lewis Hamilton nudges ahead and the Briton leads, with Ricciardo second!

    It's very difficult to overtake at the Hungaroring which is why the first 10 seconds of this race are so, so important.

    Alex Withington: Exciting race ahead - especially if Red Bull can jump the Mercedes at the start. Can't see Lewis letting that happen though!
