Lewis needs to cheer the fuck up when on podium. You can't always be first. Take what you can.

Great race today! Vettel's spin recovery was really something.

I think he was taking some flak from the team about not letting Nico past, so hence the the grumpy look - he was better later in the interviews.

No shit! Grow a set Nico and drive the fucking car! LH said "I'm not going to SLOW DOWN and let Nico pass."

Translation......"if Nico will drive lights out and get close enough, as in when I was badgering Vettel........I will let him pass, but I ain't slowing down!"

This ain't Barrichelo / Shumacher!!!!

Nico is just not the driver Hamilton is and wanted to be spoon-fed. Disgusting.

They are fighting for the championship. I honestly don't even get why they would ask him to let Rossberg by. It got him podium.

Great race, Ricciardo earned that one. Rather enjoying him owning Vettel this season.

One of the most entertaining race!!! Fantastic action from start to finish literally!

Poor judgement call from McLaren and Button, as well as Ferrari pit wall, trying to keep the option for 40 laps was insane!!! But great drive from RIC, ALO and HAM!!!

Well, I was almost disappoint to see Nico pull away in the beginning. But SC literally ruined his race, unfortunate but SC can always work on your favor or ruin your day.

Also ROS has no right to ask HAM to SLOW DOWN and let him pass, he was never "close enough". I guess the nature of this circuit it is hard to for the same team to do mixed strategy and choreograph one teammate to pass another, given the amount of corners and turbulent air.

Just like drivers can fend off tire degradation for a bit on this track, unless one had gone way out of position or a huge difference. one second or so time difference on prime and option wouldn't make so much difference afterall.

Awesome race. Hamilton and Rossberg are making this one of the best seasons in many years. Great drives today, especially by RIC, ALO, and HAM.

The whole "Let Nico pass" thing was a joke. HAM must be thinking, "WTF, I battle my way up from a pit lane start and they want me to give up a position?" And then Nico was obviously pissed in the post race interview. Is he really expecting to be crowned the #1 driver after the stellar come-from-behind drives HAM has put in? He should realize that HAM would be running away with the championship if it weren't for bad mechanical luck. ROS is lucky to be where he is.

Very nice to see the Hungarians think safety first and immediately send the SC out. Unlike last week.

Great race!

Hamilton is showing that he is a legendary driver. Truly the class of the field.

Rosberg whining was funny. He's a good driver, but I put him in the same category as Vettel. He does well when he's driving the best car, but he would be mid-pack just like Vettel if he weren't driving for Merc.

Richiardo on the other hand is a great driver, and I suspect he'll do well as time goes on. He is doing great with not the best car.

Alonso is just a monster.

Hamilton is so badass that if he did need those double points, and had another car failure, he could bust out his old pedal-pusher car from when he was 2 or 3 and he'd tear through the field with that and take the championship

Those are no brainers!
Especially when the crashed vehicles are on the exit of the corner, or start finish straight, where TWO cars (Perez and Vettel) lost control there.

To me, whenever there's a marshal on the track picking up debris or cleaning up crashes. It's a safety car IMO. (In most cases!)

Good to see stewards let the drivers race edge to edge today! And Race Control sending SC when necessary.

What they should doing is looking at the idiocy of having astro-turf at the exit of the corner at the start of the main straight which has zero grip when wet. Both the spins were a result of its placement and either could have had serious consequences.

The safety car is probably the most unfair racing process in F1 where hard earned gaps are lost and clever strategies are flushed down the toilet BUT the SC does not give up any positions. If you truly are the fastest guy out there you should be able handle the situation and stay up front.

Regarding team orders, screw them when you are racing for position. I always dislike them whoever is in front.

Great race! Great stuff from Ricciardo.

And I couldn't believe the Torro Rosso was staying in front of Rosberg for a number of laps

Great race indeed! Props to HAM for coming from behind to claim 3rd, RIC for making to insanely good passes in the last couple laps, and ALO for driving 40 laps with the options! Wow! It was definitely a gamble for Ferrari to let him stay out that long but it definitely paid off and could've even won him the race.

The Hungarian GP is typically pretty boring, but not this year!

That was the best race of the year I think.

Great race! Hungary looks like it has the lowest number of spectators on the calendar. Not sure why they still have it there but if I recall they're still under contract for awhile.
