Assuming no first turn incidents, I would agree with your line-up.

Alright, who is Nico paying off on Hamilton's side of the garage?

Right this is getting out of hand. From the sound of it there was another brake system issue

Unbelievable. He has proven he's the faster driver but can't win races or catch a break lately. His luck can't continue like this; odds are he's going to hit a good streak and Rosberg will have some missteps.

Lewis is plain unlucky. I don't think Mercedes would sabotage one car over the other. It benefits them if both finish with points.

If any one can come from the back of the field to win, it is Lewis. With rain possible and any safety car interventions there may be a chance for him to pull of an incredible win. Even if not victory, as long as he finishes where the points gap is manageable, I think it will be a good thing.

My man!

Amazing drive by Lewis to make it on the podium. Ricciardo had some amazing pace all day though.

One of the best Hungarian Grand Prix in recent times. As expected what a charge from Lewis. If only McLaren had called it right they'd be celebrating a race win or a podium. JB did well to keep the lead on inters for 3 laps after the safety car while everyone was out on slicks. Had it rained, it would have been another story b

The finish was the best one in recent times with the top 3 drivers determined to win. Congrats to Ricciardo on a great win but Alonso drove his heart out. I'd not have been disappointed to see him or Lewis win. All 3 drivers exemplified what racing is all about.

I would have loved to have seen Lewis is the debrief over the team order for him to let Nico by. That's the stupid stuff you see from Ferrari and it's not racing.

If Lewis would have won the race it would have been a historical occasion no one has ever won a race starting from pit lane. That would have really set him apart from everyone

Daniel did a great job winning the race. He really pushed the car for everything it had.

Over all a really exciting race to listen to haven't watched it yet

I don't mind them making the order, but Nico wasn't even pressuring Lewis. If he was all over his gearbox, and Lewis was constantly defending then I think an order needs to go out (only because Nico had to stop one more time).

I think without his spin, Lewis would have had a good chance at P1. Much like Vettel in Abu Dhabi in 2012. Had he not destroyed his front wing while trying to avoid Ricciardo under safety car, I think he would have got P1 from the pit lane.

Team points not driver points is what brings in money for the team.

In that light teams imposing orders is not wrong. It was not warranted yesterday as Nico was not really close to Lewis. But had Lewis let him by then perhaps Nico would have won the race. And with Lewis finishing in 4th would have meant good money for the team. However considering how much of a lead Mercedes has they did not need to win the race yesterday. The championship is effectively in their hands.
