I'll give Lando and his strategy team full credit on an excellent win from a first lap 5th place (credit where due - I still don't like him and his "woe is me" mentality).

Red Bull duffed that strategy - the 2 stop could have brought him up to challenge Russell, but he needed a decent amount of clear air after the stop, yet they pitted him into tons of traffic. If he had just followed Alonso and Bortoleto's 1 stops he might have had a chance to jump one of both of them at some point.

I don't buy LeClerc's change of tune in the media pen. Now he says there was something wrong with the chassis that caused his drop in pace? Nope, it's ride heights again - they upped his pressures and reduced engine power to save the floor wear to pass parc ferme scrutineering - such a sad loss for him and the Ferrari torture continues for him.

Lando just placed his car perfectly where he needed to and knew Oscar wouldn’t risk a collision. Backmarkers simply reduced the number of attempts.
 
As a Verstappen fan I found it very ironic that Max could not get pass his former demoted team mate Lawson and was event beaten by Stroll.

Red Bull WTF are you doing.

The car just wasn't there this weekend - he had a couple of good overtakes but once he got stuck he was stuck.
 
Ferrari strategy fudged the two stop strategy and thought race position was more important than race pace.
First stint on mediums was managed and they should have gone quicker to build a gap.
Le Clerc fastest lap for the race on lap 47, is a second slower than the fastest lap of the race (on lap 45).

Max Verstappen questions stewards' approach to Lewis Hamilton incident

Max Verstappen has reflected on his clash with Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix - and raised a question over the handling of the incident.

Max Verstappen has questioned the need for a post-race investigation into his tussle with Lewis Hamilton during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Dutchman was called before the officials at the Hungaroring after he clashed with the Ferrari driver at Turn 4 on Lap 29 of the 70-lap race.

Whilst there was no contact between the pair, the stewards wanted to take a closer look after the chequered flag for the 27-year-old potentially pushing another driver off track and gaining an advantage.

When Verstappen planted his Red Bull up the inside of the quick corner, Hamilton took evasive action, going over the run-off section, losing the position to the four-time F1 drivers' champion.

However, the officials ultimately determined the correct result of the investigation to be no further action and the Red Bull driver was subsequently not punished.

Leaving it to Post race was ridiculous but Lewis/rep basically neutralized it and read more like a favour to Max. If he said he moved to avoid it would’ve gone somewhat differently.

He was in DRS on Lawson for quite a few laps, but I think he clocked out towards the end. RB is sitting 4th, won't change for the rest of the season. Whether Max is 3rd or 4th in drivers, means nothing to him,

I saw it as the result is better for Racing bulls, which is why he just left it as is.
 
Congrats to McLaren and Lando but absolutely gutted for Charles. I'm not technical at all but how did he (Charles) keep Piastri at bay for 40 laps and then end 4th?? What did they change so drastically as for him to lose his pace? These circus tactics from Ferrari is utter BS.

There was an issue with his chassis around 40 lap mark of the race that caused the loss of performance.

Lando passed due the pit strategy, being on a 1 stop. Oscar and George easily passed due to the Ferrari loss in performance

Ok, thanks. So not a setup change but mechanical failure. Tough luck.
