  5. Hamilton eight points behind Verstappen

    Lewis Hamilton gets 25 points. The fastest lap was for Sergio Perez, but he doesn't get the point as he finished outside the top 10.

    That means Max Verstappen's title lead, which was at 33 points at the start of the day, is now down to eight for race 11 in Hungary.

  6. Another day of so-near-so-far for George Russell. Twelfth today. He will be in the top 10 in the Williams soon, but not today.

  9. That's Charles Leclerc's best finish since coming second at the season-opening race in Austria in 2020 and it's his first podium since coming third at Silverstone last year.

  10. 'Hamilton at his best'

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That was Hamilton at his best, on the charge.

    But he is fortunate the crash didn't take him out, Senna v Prost style.

    He came out unscathed.
