Gotta feel for Kimi, it just had to happen to him. Mega result for Lewis after a disaster race, extended his lead in the championship.

How was that not one-sided causing a collision by Ricciardo????? FIA is in Red Bull's pocket, this is really incredible, as inept, clumsy, no skills driving as you can get and they embrace it with ignoring it. Not for the first time Monaco was even worse, Maldo got a drive-through for at worst 50-50. F1 is worthless Hulk Hogan wrestling pseudo sport where they chose results #-o .

Wow. Now look back at the first page of that thread and that moaning about Hungary. No, it was NOT a boring race at all. What a rollercoaster. Lots of battles, sudden changes of fortune and a jackpot of penalties for Maldonaldo!

In what way could it possibly have been Ricciardo that caused it? He was on the edge of the track, he had no where to move to, and Rosberg cut across in front of him.

Exactly what was Ricciardo meant to do, and exactly which action did he take that "caused a collision"?

What a race! Finally a good F1 race full with overtakes & incidents (thank god noting serous) but a hell of a fun race....

Raikkonen and Rosberg are today's biggest losers. Through no fault of their own. Add Sainz to that list as well.

But that's racing, I guess.

Well done Vettel/Ferrari, RBR and STR/Verstappen.

And how happy am I to finally see Alonso back in fifth? Never thought I'd say that.

He was in that position because he sent it up the inside from too far back with both front tyres locked up and barely made the corner. He wasn't under control where Rosberg was. Ergo it's his fault. Hamilton was partially locked up whilst defending, understeering and had nowhere to go as Ric went around him leaving no room. If it's Hamilton's fault then it's also Ric's.

Anyway, it's all done now and well done to Kvyat for his podium. Great drive by Ric too, albeit lukcy not to get a penalty. Vettel drove a great race having been given the lead by Mercedes. Sad for Kimi. Rosberg didn't deliver in the fastest car on the grid. Hamilton drove brilliantly quickly in between moments of being an idiot.

A cracking race then.

Vettel's victory is reminiscent of Schumacher's '98 win here beating the two fast - but fragile - Mc-Mercs.

Excellent all round race. Not really sure why people thought it would be dull, Hungary is never dull, even if its a procession, its just a great track to watch F1 cars on. At its worst its better than some at their best (like Adelaide).

But he did make the corner, and was not out of control at that point. He was on the power, on the way out of the corner in complete control of the car. Rosberg just cut across in front.
He wasn't under control where Rosberg was. Ergo it's his fault.
Even if you accept your explanation of events, then you're saying that Rosberg was in complete control of his car and chose to drive it straight into Ricciardo. That would make it his fault, not Ricciardo's.

What a mental race, just fireworks from start to finish, everybody saying "yea driver X will win" BOOM driver X is out of the contention, "Driver Y will win" BOOM Driver Y is out of the game.
