Lap 6/70
A shake of the head from Christian Horner as Max Verstappen, with a sudden drop in power, has to pull over on to some grass by the side of the track.
"What a ******* joke with this ****," says an understandably furious Verstappen.
Oh no! oh no! oh no!

Jim Robb: Well that's that race finished then. Was an exciting 30 secs, wasn't it!
Gone far too early there Jim. I said something similar at about lap 20 last week, and then it was amazing!

Charles Leclerc of Sauber just behind hit a Force India and now he has damage and is out of the race.
Ricciardo team radio: "I think you got contact left front, please confirm."
Daniel Ricciardo: "Yes, I don't know the damage. Tyre pressure looks good.
Team radio: "Do you think it was tyre or front wing?"
Ricciardo: "More tyre..."
Lap 3/70
Some more on Daniel Ricciardo's early incident. Marcus Ericsson squashes him, and bangs into him from the left. The Australian, now 14th.
Hamilton already has a 2.8 second lead on only the fourth lap. A dream, dream scenario already for the world champion.

The first casualty and it has come on only the second lap. A mechanical fault seems to be the reason for Charles Leclerc. He was only starting 17th, and is the first faller.
"You have got contact left front," Daniel Ricciardo is told. He started 12th, is now 16th.
Lap 1/70
A great start from Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly both overtaken, the Dutchman is now fifth from seventh.

Here we go...
Mercedes are in the best possible place to extend this lead further today. Hamilton first, Bottas second. The two Ferraris behind them. Sebastian Vettel got the jump on Hamilton at Silverstone, this time he has Bottas in his way as well.

Ricciardo, quite astonishingly, said yesterday he's looking for some time out of the car. He's had a tough run, after not making Q3. He said it was because of Lance Stroll and the yellow flag - Stroll has to start in the pit lane. Ricciardo has had a tough run, and Verstappen took a lot of heat earlier in the season but he's started to put it together now.
Formation lap. All safely away.
Five current drivers know what it feels like to win in Hungary. Lewis Hamilton has managed it five times, Sebastian Vettel twice, with one win apiece for Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton starts at the front, bidding for his sixth success at the Hungaroring.

Pitlane start: Lance Stroll (Williams)

The first stint is going to be crucial in this race. Ferrari will be trying to find a way past the Mercedes, which will mean doing something on strategy. And Mercedes’ problem is that the Ferrari is simply quicker - or at least that’s what it looks like being.
First question for Mercedes is, which start tyre, given there is free choice because of wet qualifying? The soft is probably what they would choose ideally. It’s more durable and faster over a stint - especially on the Mercedes, who struggled on the ultra-soft on a long run in practice. But the ultra-soft gives more grip off the line, a key point, especially given the Ferraris are normally fast starters. But then after the first lap, it will be slower, and that will make Mercedes vulnerable to the under-cut.
Lewis Hamilton said after qualifying that this meant “I imagine we are going to start on the ultra, even with the choice”. But engineers from other teams are not so sure that’s wise - and it might be a bluff.
Track position is key and Mercedes can’t afford to be caught by Ferrari stopping earlier and potentially jumping them that way. On the other, they can’t stop too early, or the second-stint tyres in what is projected as a one-stop race won’t last. The projected ideal stop time for ultra-soft and soft are laps 22 and 27.
The best race is soft-medium. But does Vettel start on the soft, and go long, hoping to get an under-cut on Mercedes later in the race and potentially take an ultra-soft into the last stint.
Ferrari, meanwhile, can afford to gamble as they have less to lose. If Vettel runs a normal race, he’ll probably finish fourth. It’s unlikely to be thrill-a-minute but it is going to be absolutely fascinating watching it play out.
