00:00Lights out and away we go and Hamilton does get away very well indeed, Bottas doesn't,
00:05Verstappen's already nearly alongside him and there goes Lando Norris down the inside,
00:09it is Hamilton ahead of Verstappen, Bottas has dropped three or four places
00:13and there's Lando Norris touched and into each other goes Valtteri, Bottas and Sergio Perez
00:18and that's the Alfa Romeo and Alfa Tauri getting caught up as the McLaren spun round
00:23with the Ferrari as well and Max Verstappen I think has gone tumbling down the order,
00:28yeah Max Verstappen has got caught out with that, on board now with Valtteri Bottas and he made
00:35contact with both Red Bulls there, Bottas took out both Red Bull cars, Lance Stroll, oh just arriving
00:42far too quickly into the scene, it's a red flag we are stopping this race while the marshals can clear
00:50the debris the damage you can see on car number 33 and look how dry the track seems to be
00:58so let's see how quickly we see the first slick tyre runners
01:02A bit great, everyone is going to box, they are standing by and they are ready with tyres,
01:06they are the red tyres, is he going to dive into the pit lane, no he's not but Esteban Ocon
01:10is,
01:11Hamilton's going to be the only one who's going to start this race, what Hamilton needs to do here is
01:17to get as
01:17far ahead as possible of the rest of the field otherwise he is going to lose out big time, it's
01:23going to be lights out and away we go for Lewis Hamilton only, the race leader is the only driver
01:29who's not come into the pit lane to change tyres, now he can race full blast down towards turn one,
01:35there's nobody behind him and through he goes, but out now into the race comes the Williams of George
01:41Russell who is up in the second place, then Ocon, then Vettel, then Latifi, then Tsunoda and then Sainz,
01:47then Raikkonen and Alonso, yeah that's dry, yeah copy loose so box box, oh has he got a puncture,
01:53is there a problem with George Russell, oh no not more bad luck for George Russell, when is it ever
01:59going to
01:59change for him, Russell doesn't have a problem, he was told by the FIA to give the places back because
02:03he undertook the cars who were queuing up in the pit stops, when he made his pit stop of course,
02:07Williams at the end of the pit lane, Esteban Ocon takes the lead, Sebastian Vettel goes through when
02:12Hamilton comes out into this race, he's now going to feel right at the back because that's where he is,
02:18Max Verstappen, his title rival's gone through, oh and there's a collision in the pit lane between
02:23Mazepin and Raikkonen and that is why Nikita Mazepin is out of this race, Verstappen trying to go around
02:31the outside of Mick Schumacher, they come close, Verstappen goes off the road, Schumacher stays ahead
02:37of the red bull, Hamilton can't get past Gasly, now Verstappen's going to go and try around the outside at
02:42turn two, he's got the pace advantage, Schumacher's got the inside line, they bang wheels, as Verstappen goes
02:48through turn three, he gets his elbows out and he muscles his way past the Haas, Verstappen into the
02:55points, into the pits though comes Lewis Hamilton, he's setting fastest laps of this race but is there
03:01more pace in this Mercedes, do they need to put Lewis on a different strategy here to try and force
03:07his
03:07way back into this race again, so now getting a bit of track position is what they want and that's
03:13why
03:13red bull are making this pit stop but also they don't want Hamilton trying to undercut them,
03:18here comes Lewis Hamilton, Hamilton's going to get past Max Verstappen, can he get past Danny
03:23Ricciardo as well, that will be double bubble if you're Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes and the undercut
03:28has worked here at the Hungaro ring, Esteban Ocon comes out onto the track, he's ahead of Sebastian Vettel
03:36who had a brilliant outlap himself but not quite good enough to get past Esteban Ocon, Alpine lead,
03:43Alpine second, Alonso yet to stop, Ocon has stopped, Vettel down to third, the race is on now to the
03:50chequered flag and Vettel is not going to give this up because he's on warmer tyres, Ocon's looking
03:55in his mirrors, wondering where Vettel is, he's right behind him, can't find a way through at turn 4.
04:01As here goes with back markers getting in the way, almost Sebastian Vettel getting past Esteban Ocon.
04:09And very very consistent at the moment Ocon, so fantastic and he is looking on for potential win.
04:16So this is what Lewis needs to do with Alonso, set it up in turn 1, Ricciardo had to block,
04:20so had a bad run out of turn 1 and then Verstappen round the outside into turn 2, that's the
04:25best way to do it.
04:27Now Hamilton forces Alonso to defend in the way Nico Rosberg said that he should be doing,
04:33but still Fernando Alonso gets better traction going out of turn 1, Hamilton trying to go round the outside,
04:39here into turn 2, does break later this time, not late enough, Alonso stays ahead,
04:43but this is going to carry on and on, because don't forget the pace advantage that Mercedes has towards turn
04:494,
04:49this time he's on one side, and I think they might have touched there as well,
04:53Hamilton had to back out of it, Alonso somehow is keeping Hamilton at bay, this is incredible.
05:01As down the main straight we go once again, nudging 195 miles an hour.
05:06Yes, yes, very close now.
05:07Here comes Hamilton, he just backed off a little bit too early, but Alonso has locked up,
05:11this is Hamilton's chance, it has been coming for a few laps now, you can hear the cheers from the
05:16crowd,
05:17Hamilton is up in the fourth place, but he's still going to defend it, Alonso trying to go round the
05:21outside,
05:22wasn't quite alongside him, and Hamilton is now released from behind the Alpine to chase after Carlos Sainz.
05:29Hamilton is so much closer around the final corner this time around, but Sainz has got DRS,
05:33because he's about to lap Daniel Ricciardo, moves over to the right hand side, Hamilton is
05:38with him, Hamilton has got the pace advantage, and has got better traction coming out of that corner,
05:42Sainz forces him deep to try and put some more pressure on him, but it doesn't quite happen,
05:47and through goes Lewis Hamilton, into the podium places here in Hungary. Sainz is going to fight
05:53this one back, eventually he might have to yield, he does yield, it is Ocon, it is Vettel,
05:59it is Hamilton the top three.
06:02It's Alonso who cost Lewis the win today, because he's just closing up now, but it's too late.
06:06He might have been challenging Ocon for the win, no one's challenging Ocon for the win now,
06:10Esteban Ocon is going to be a Grand Prix winner in Formula One, Ocon wins the Hungarian Grand Prix,
06:19Sebastian Vettel takes second for Aston Martin, Lewis Hamilton from 14th comes back to finish on the podiums,
06:27Ah, Tré Bon, Tré Bien, and formidable Esteban Ocon, well done, I could not be more pleased
06:34for that man, winning a Formula One Grand Prix.
06:38Yes guys!
06:47It closes it in fine style for Ocon and Alpine, in a recovery mission for Lewis Hamilton and for Mercedes,
06:54Mercedes and for the second race running, an absolute horror for Red Bull, the title lead
06:59goes to Mercedes and drivers and constructors, we're going to take a summer break, join us on the other
07:05side, there's a lot more to play for in 2021.
