For the second successive race, a Mercedes again crashed into a Max Verstappen's Red Bull-Honda on the opening lap: this time, however, it was Valtteri Bottas who locked-up at Turn One in greasy conditions in Hungary and not only badly damaged the car of Verstappen but also eliminated Red Bull's Sergio Perez and McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris. With Lance Stroll similarly t-boning the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, it should then have been an easy win for Lewis Hamilton, who had started from the pole. On the formation lap of the re-start, though, all but Hamilton came into the pit lane to switch to slicks on the drying track. Lewis did likewise a lap later - but rejoined at the back of the field. In this video, Peter Windsor looks at how these events enabled Esteban Ocon to score a stunning, maiden win for Alpine.
NOTE: IN LATE NEWS, SEBASTIAN VETTEL, WHO FINISHED SECOND ON THE ROAD, HAS BEEN DISQUALIFIED FOR APPARENTLY HAVING ONLY 0.3L OF FUEL IN HIS ASTON MARTIN AT THE END OF THE RACE. (THE REGS STATE THAT ALL RUNNERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST 1.0L). THE TEAM WERE EMPHATIC THAT THE CAR DID STILL CONTAIN 1.44L BUT THAT FOR SOME REASON THIS COULD NOT BE EXTRACTED FOR SAMPLING. SUBJECT TO APPEAL, THIS OBVIOUSLY ELEVATES ALL THE FINISHERS BELOW ESTEBAN OCON, INCLUDING LEWIS HAMILTON, WHO NOW FINISHES P2, AND CARLOS SAINZ, WHO FINISHES P3 - THE SECOND TIME SAINZ HAS FINISHED "ON THE PODIUM" WITHOUT ACTUALLY STEPPING ONTO IT (THE FIRST OCCASION BEING BRAZIL, 2019). THE VETTEL/ASTON MARTIN NEWS POST-DATES THE COMPLETION OF THIS VIDEO.

#Best wishes to my buddy Jack Aitken. Big shunt at Spa in the GT race but please get well soon.
#And our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the marshal who lost his life at Brands Hatch over the weekend. He was someone who, like us, just loved the sport we call motor racing.
