All the chaos and fun possible in a dry race.
Vettel and Alonso are my driver's of the day. And I don't think I've ever said this before.

Damn what an exciting race. I'm still gutted Lewis didn't win. Just when you thought nothing is happening something happens. 9/10

[TomNokoe]

10

Vettel is the master

[kvyatfan]

Best Driver: Vettel, Kvyat, Ricciardo, Alonso, Verstappen. Hard to choose, probably go Vettel overall.

Worst Driver: Hamilton.

Best Team: Red Bull and McLaren

Best Overtake: Ricciardo

Best Moment: Early Ferrari lead and Red Bull taking podiums.

DRS + Tyres: Doodoo

And the race in a sentence: Crashtor Hamilton, u wot m8?

[Frood]

Best Driver: Vettel. Who else? He made no mistakes. Shout out to Max for keeping his nose clean too.
Worst Driver: Maldonado. How many penalties, Pastor?! Dishonourable mention to Lewis too.
Best Team: I can't say Ferrari due to Kimi's issue, so, rather oddly, Red Bull. Even more weirdly... Second probably McLaren!
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Bottas, Ricciardo on Hülkenberg, Hamilton on Massa all worthy.
Best Moment: The start, and the post safety car madness.
DRS + Tyres: the race was too chaotic to think about it!
And the race in a sentence: Utter chaos. 9/10

[Topsu]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Hamilton

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Rosberg (contact was Rosberg's fault)

Best Moment: First lap

DRS + Tyres: No complaints, very balanced

[Lotus53B]

Best Driver:  Sebastian Vettel. Did what he needed, great start, head down, good start after safety

Worst Driver: Maldonado.

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Lewis and Felipe.

Best Moment:The Start

DRS + Tyres: Didn't really notice either, but some good moves in T1 showed the DRS did the job

And the race in a sentence: Another great race from the Hungaroring

[Atreiu]

By the way, no driver is imune to horrible races and blunders. Vettel had Bahrain, Kimi had Montreal.

Hamilton and Rosberg had both at once today.

[SealTheDiffuser]

Best Driver: VET

Worst Driver: MAL,HAM,ROS

Best Team: FER

Best Overtake: VET start

Best Moment: HAM replicating start f-up at restart

Orgasmic. 10/10

 

It had everything. And a little bit more. 

[ExEd]

Best Driver : Seb ,kept it cool all day long!

Worst Driver : Lulu ,just a bad day @work and Pastor (really penalty hat trick?)

[redraven9]

Incredible. Best race this season.

 

Best Driver: Vettel, Alonso

[Jimisgod]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Could say a number of names but I'll assume all drivers weren't 100% because of Jules' death - and it showed.

Best Team: Ferrari + Red Bull

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Bottas + Ricciardo on Hülkenberg + Hamilton on Massa

Best Moment: The whole race

DRS + Tyres: Worked pretty well.

And the race in a sentence: What F1 needed after Bianchi's sad passing.

[Seanspeed]

8/10

Exciting, dramatic, unpredictable.

But also very messy, with some dodgy driving standards.

[ANF]

1/10. I fell asleep on the formation lap. F1 is so precitable.

[CHIUNDA]

Best Driver: Kvyat

Worst Driver: Lewis Hamilton but Nico was just as bad

Best Team: McLaren

Best Overtake: Lewis on Nico whilst he was dealing with his brain fade in the pits

Best Moment: Can't decide between Vettel dedicating to Jules and Lewis apologizing for being a ****

DRS + Tyres: Basically irrelevant today. But RBR looked good with the tyres, better than everybody else.

And the race in a sentence: Wake up call to Mercedes, confidence boost for McLaren, Ferrari and RBR.

[Marklar]

Best Driver: Thats a tought choice between Alonso, Vettel and Verstappen. I'm going for Alonso.

Worst Driver: Also a tought choice between Hamilton, Rosberg and Maldonado. I'm going for Maldonado.

Best Team: McLaren, who collected as much points as Mercedes!

Best Overtake: Again a tought choice between Ricciardo vs. Rosberg and Hamilton vs. Massa. I'm going for Ricciardo vs. Rosberg.

Best Moment: No special moment. The race was special. But the Vettel team radio was the highlight.

DRS + Tyres: As I said earlier this week.  This is the only circuit were DRS is doing his job.

And the race in a sentence: Boring F1, really boring....

Edited by Marklar, 26 July 2015 - 14:46.

[Nonesuch]

Best Driver: Vettel. His drive had everything that made his battles with Ferrari in 2010 and 2012 so frustrating; the guy can be completely on it. Fantastic drive!

Worst Driver: Maldonado. His penalties were mostly for breaking rules designed with safety in mind. His lack of respect for these rules is becoming inexcusable. Hamilton gets a mention, but at least he was mostly harming himself.

Best Team: Red Bull. Solid strategy combined with a surprisingly competitive race pace.

Best Overtake: Vettel's start was nail-bitingly close.

Best Moment: Räikkönen making the jump to second after his little scrap with Rosberg.

DRS + Tyres: The DRS was dreadful once more, making Turn One the only place where most drivers bothered to attempt anything. The tyres seemed decent, though the drop-off in speed was pretty strong on the softer compound.

And the race in a sentence: An surprisingly interesting race that was spoiled somewhat by lousy driving standards and a safety-car neutralization that threw a spanner into the long-term strategic games.

 

Rated it 5/10.

[JHSingo]

Full on IndyCar levels of madness.

 

9/10

[tmekt]

10/10

Best Driver: Vettel, the only option really. Kimi did good as well, nominated out of empathy.

Worst Driver: Maldonado, Hamilton

Best Team: Red Bull, Ferrari

Best Overtake: Both Ferraris at start, Hamilton on Bottas

Best Moment: the whole race, but the start especially

DRS + Tyres: good

 

And the race in a sentence: Ciao Jules !

Edited by tmekt, 26 July 2015 - 14:52.

[BlinkyMcSquinty]

Chaos, mayhem, some great drives and some with mistakes. But the end result was a race no one predicted, a thoroughly entertaining race.

 

A fitting tribute to Jules Bianchi, a very memorable race.

[KTownDevil]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Hamilton

Best Team: RedBull

Best Overtake: Vettel's start

Best Moment: No Mercedes on the podium. Vettel's team radio

DRS + Tyres: - 

And the race in a sentence: superb!

[ANF]

Seriously, it was a 7/10. Best moment? Kvyat passing another car on the outside when both cars had run wide onto the tarmac runoff – one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in F1 ever!

[HP]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Ham (never thought I will have to write that), Maldonado

Best Team: Ferrari, RBR

Best Overtake: Start

Best Moment: Too many to single one out

DRS + Tyres: DRS thankfully mostly useless, tires, good.

And the race in a sentence: Entertaining.

[Afterburner]

Now that was a good one. More please.

Vettel is the obvious choice for driver of the day; Red Bull and Merc were faster but screwed themselves anytime they got close, in spite of getting the mother of all second chances with the full-course yellow and Raikkonen's problems. Red Bull wins best team for being the first non-Merc guys to get both cars on the podium this year.

Rosberg sank below Raikkonen-2014 levels of incompetence. How this guy ever got close to beating Hamilton speaks way more about Hamilton's misfortunes than Rosberg's ability, I think.

Vastly enjoyed the start and especially the restart, in which Hamilton had three other cars around him all at once coming out of Turn 4; that's the sort of wheel-to-wheel this sport needs to see more often.

In a sentence? F1 goes Full Indycar for the second race in a row. Some may dislike the incidents, but if you're not banging wheels every once in a while, you're not trying hard enough. As said above: more, please.

9/10, with the MAVTV 500 this year at Fontana still being the standard. You should totally watch that one if you haven't yet.

EDIT: And almost forgot SV's tribute to Jules on the radio brought tears to my eyes. The standout moment of the race, if I'm honest.

Edited by Afterburner, 26 July 2015 - 15:10.

[realracer200]

Best Driver: Alonso

Worst Driver: many

Best Team: RBR

Best Overtake: Hamilton overtaking somebody (forgot who) on the outside into turn 1 was cool

Best Moment: Ricciardo's battles with Hamilton and Rosberg

DRS + Tyres: this is one of the few tracks where DRS actually makes sense

And the race in a sentence: quite good

[Crossmax]

8/10

 

Why not higher (despite my favorite driver winning and gaining lots in the WDC)? The racing was not as clean as could be, especially drivers not leaving enough space on the outside of T1, and a lot of the excitement of the race was due to this.

 

Anyway...

 

Best Driver: Vettel, Alonso

Worst Driver: Maldonado

Best Team: Ferrari, RBR

Worst Team: Sauber probably.

Best Overtake: Seb side-by-side with Lewis into T1.

Best Moment: The Ferraris getting ahead at the start.

DRS + Tyres: DRS thankfully mostly useless, tires, good.

And the race in a sentence: Entertaining, but messy.

[JosD]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Rosberg, he did not have to run that wide as he did with Ricciardo

Best Team: Ferrari

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Bottas

Best Moment: Race start, it became apparent that it would be an interesting race

DRS + Tyres: Renault would again seem hopelessly lost with the first

And the race in a sentence: Very entertaining ideed

 

9/10

[ANF]

Worst driver: Hamilton, definitely. With an outstanding pace in qualifying, the race was supposed to be a walk in the park. But he threw it away – not once, not twice, but three times over the course of 69 laps.

[P123]

Best Driver: Vettel/ Alonso/ Verstappen
Worst Driver: Maldonado/ Hamilton
Best Team: Red Bull
Best Overtake: Trying to think of a non-DRS clean one...
Best Moment: Most of it
DRS + Tyres: Good difference between the compounds
And the race in a sentence: Fun race. SC spiced up an otherwise straightforward race at the front...

8/10

[thegamer23]

Incredibly, Hungaroring provides stunning racing and loads of drama yet again.


Best Driver: Vettel
Worst Driver: Hamilton, ridicolous and dangerous driving. 
Best Team: Ferrari
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Sainz
Best Moment: Vettel's salute to Jules
DRS + Tyres: DRS too powerful in some occasions, tyres way too hard
And the race in a sentence: Madness

9/10 

[cpbell]

9/10. 

 

Best driver:  Ricciardo, but Vetttel, Alonso, Verstappem and possibly Kyvat were very close.

Worst driver:  Maldonado - as someone said earlier, at least Hamilton (who nearly received this "accolade" ) was mainly harming himself.  Doing stupid things under the safety car is the worst of pre-F1 Maldonado.

Best team:  Red Bull, with Ferrari a close second.  Mclaren were much improved.

Best overtaking manoeuvre:  Ricciardo on Hulkenberg.

Best moment:  Seriously - Hulkenberg emerging unscathed from his crash.  Otherwise,  I'd love to nominate EJ's reference to teams having a variety of tyre options "splattered around", and Suzi Perry's response.

Tyres and DRS:  Both were good.  DRS is meant to make overtaking possible, not easy.

Race in a sentence:  Eventful, emotional tributes to Bianchi and several brilliant drives.

[aramos]

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Hamilton (Maldonado really, but I don't expect anymore from him).

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Hamilton on Massa

Best Moment: Hard to think of a clear one.

DRS + Tyres: DRS could be a bit more powerful, tyres were perfect

And the race in a sentence: Chaos

[ThadGreen]

Best Driver::More than half the drivers performed well and it's too difficult to pick a 'best;

Worst Driver: Perhaps Maldonado? With a mention to both Mercedes drivers.

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Rosberg

Best Moment: Finally starting the race

DRS + Tyres: Whatever

And the race in a sentence: Very exciting race best I have seen in a long time

[Heisenberg]

So many drivers effed up this race, but as a paradox, it was one of the best we had in 2015!

 

Best Driver: Vettel

Worst Driver: Hamilton & Maldonado are gonna have to battle for this title!  

Best Team: Red Bull

Best Overtake: Vettel at the start.

Best Moment: too many!

DRS + Tyres: -

I DRIVE racecars for personal reward and gratification. I WATCH racing for recreation and entertainment. The Hungarian GP was VERY entertaining. Therefore, I give it a 10 of 10 for F1 races I have watched this year.

Very cool to have you amongst us. The more drivers, the merrier.

Best Overtake: Hamilton on Massa
Best Moment: The three way fight for the lead and the drama that followed

And the race in a sentence: Thrilling bonkers indycar style race and a perfect tribute to Jules.

[Mat13]

Best Driver: Vettel
Worst Driver: Maldonado
Best Team: Red Bull
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Massa(?)
Best Moment: Rosberg getting a puncture/ Safety car sign flashing on the screen.
DRS + Tyres: spot on.
And the race in a sentence: absolute chaos, Lewis you jammy sod!

[Laster]

Best Driver: Vettel, Verstappens or Alonso. All three achieved excellent results, though those last two can thank other drivers pressing the self destruct button.
Worst Driver: Maldonado, and maybe Hamilton and Rosberg. I know Ham beat his teammate but he made some costly mistakes today, and Rosberg just had no pace throughout the weekend.
Best Team: Red Bull - Double podium, drivers made a couple mistakes each but altogether they achieved their best result.
Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Hamilton. Yes Hamilton understeered into him but Ricciardo setup that move perfectly after the safety car.
Best Moment: Ferrari's taking the lead at the start and knowing we'd have a race on our hands.
And the race in a sentence: Strewn with the most driver errors in a race so far this season.

[redreni]

Best Driver: Alonso

Worst Driver: Maldonado

Best Team: Ferrari

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on the SC restart. It was a clean move and the contact was entirely due to other driver losing control.

Best Moment: Ferrari 1-2 after opening corners.

 

And the race in a sentence: Awesome result, pity about Kimi, but good to be able to laugh at Merc for a change; hard to know which of their drivers was worse today, the slow one or the fast, error-prone one.

 

Ciao Jules.

[Thanos89]

9/10

Best Driver: Vettel without a doubt. He had it all under control and was untouchable today. Alonso and Kimi worthy mentions

Worst Driver: Hamilton...not his day today

Best Team: If it wasn't for Kimi's car failure i would have picked Ferrari but i'm going with McLaren considering they are still in testing mode. 

Best Overtake: Vettel on Hamilton at the start. 

Best Moment: I would like to thank Lotus team, Venezuela and the moneyz for giving us Pastor Maldonado. He is the Kevin Hart of F1 right now for me. Couldn't stop laughing with those penalties.

DRS + Tyres: DRS works really great here. Tyres were okay i guess

And the race in a sentence: Best race of the season so far

1/10. I fell asleep on the formation lap. F1 is so precitable.

That better be sarcasm...

[Jejking]

1/10. I fell asleep on the formation lap. F1 is so precitable.

Better add some points when you finished watching the race then.

[Lotusseven]

I give it 9/10. Exciting race from start to finish !

I can´t rate any drivers/teams it´s been a very emotional and difficult week for everyone.

Many drivers said it was very difficult to jump into the cockpit and race after the tribute for Jules.

 

I hope all have a nice summer break now and you too ! 

[hittheapex]

Best Driver: Vettel, kept it under control even when the SC eroded his lead.

Worst Driver: Hamilton, Rosberg and Maldonado all deserve a mention. Going to pick Rosberg, he should have been closer to the Ferraris and he squandered a golden opportunity to cut the gap to Hamilton. The 17 point deficit going into Hungary was only from the first 3 races, they were tied from Bahrain onwards. Rosberg threw away a chance to get back on terms for the champiionship, and those chances don't come often.

Best Team: Never thought I would write this in 2015, but McLaren. This was a golden opportunity for them and they maximised it by not breaking down, not hitting other cars, and not botching their pitstops.

Best Overtake: Ricciardo on Hamilton. The line he took, his braking and the horsepower deficit down the straight too, it was superb.

Best Moment: Realising that at a stroke, Kvyat wasn't just on for his first podium, but a 2nd place as well after having to yield to Ricciardo earlier.

DRS + Tyres: DRS? Boo, hiss! Tyres? Black, round, Pirelli.

And the race in a sentence: (For the period after the SC restart): Bloody hell, I need a lie down.

[FenderJaguar]

10/10

 

Best Driver: Vettel, Kimi, Ricciardo

Worst Driver: Maldonado - always a joke, Hamilton had a bad day too but that is on another level

Best Team: Ferrari and Red Bull

Best Overtake: the start

Best Moment: 2 Ferraris pulling away from Rosberg
