Delighted for Bottas, very strange that Hamilton was just plain off the pace all weekend really. Looking like a brilliant fight between Ferrari and mercedes this season it's just a shame that Red Bull can't keep up

 

[Nando]

Lewis tends to have the odd absolute stinker every year. No harm in that really as he's largely bang on it every weekend otherwise. Better to have a weekend like this than have a clutch of average races where you drop points.

Great from Vettel too..rate him highest on talent

Vettel looks like such a good guy, congratulating Bottas..superb

It's all smiles now but if it's this close at the end of the season you can guarantee they will all hate each other

Bottas and Ricciardo having fun today arsing around on the streets of Budapest. Added bonus to see on my last few hours here

You can watch Fernando hopefully complete a few laps in a Honda powered car here:

Alonso makes it to turn 3 at the start of FP1 before he breaks down with smoke pouring out the back. Possible leak.

Stunningly embarrasing and pathetic.

 

[Nando]

Oil pissing out the back of it causing him to spin.

Just when you think it can't get any worse...

 

[Nando]

He's now onto his fourth turbo and MGU0H, so any further failures this weekend, which isn't exactly unlikely, will mean Jenson gets grid penalties at Monaco.

 

[Tredman]

Alonso driving brilliantly, got his car into Q3

 

[Nando]

That's fucking phenomenal driving, Fernando!

 

[Nando]

Seriously impressed by Ocon too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

7th place in that lemon, amazing.

 

[Nando]

Goodness me. Just goes to show that there is a decent car in there somewhere.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Holy cow that is MIGHTY impressive. Shows what a truly supreme driver Alonso actually is.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Vettel is going very well so far. Already nearly three seconds ahead of Hamilton.

 

[Nando]

Really enjoying this.
