There are various video clips atIf you've not seen Max's onboard it's been posted on YouTube (though F1 may ask for it to be removed).
However, Seb was unable to provide a large enough fuel sample and was dsq'd, with everyone below him moving up.
Which makes you wonder if something was up with the fuel flow rate...And rather surprising, given the number of laps under the safety car at the start.

Lewis the only one not bailing for the pits on the restart was bizarre as well as major error on the part of Merc and Hamilton
Scratch that, he's been given it back, pending the outcome of the protest lodged by Aston Martin.However, Seb was unable to provide a large enough fuel sample and was dsq'd, with everyone below him moving up.
Schoolboy error. And rather surprising, given the number of laps under the safety car at the start.
I wonder how they’d have restarted if all 20 cars had pitted, would the red light sequence on the grid just have been immediately followed by the pit lane exit going green?Love how you can watch hundreds of races over the years and still end up seeing something new. Never seen a single car start the race before (as all the others were in the pit lane). Closest was that race where all the Michelin runners pulled out and only 6 cars started.
hence why Russell popped out in second?Hamilton was in a no-win situation, if he had come in the pits he'd probably been at the end of the train anyway.
I think he also overtook the developing queue in the pit lane. Then he was ordered to give the places back during the next lap.hence why Russell popped out in second?
While that may have been an issue I don't think that was the reason, they just plain got it wrong weather wise which is what Hamilton is suggesting they thought more rain was coming.As was said on commentary, had he come in on the restart he would have had most if not all the field pass him in the pits as being first in the pit lane they couldn’t have released him safely.
Where he lost the race was not being able to get past Sainz. Had he done that, he would have been well clear of Alonso when he pitted again (and he may not have needed to).
I'm quite sure he can afford a complete vegan diet. The team would insist on it.Perhaps his diet of daisies and bark is getting to him.
Williams racer George Russell is to drive for Mercedes on Tuesday as the team take part in a post-race tyre test in Hungary.
Russell will test a Mercedes mule car fitted with Pirelli’s 2022-spec 18-inch tyres around the Hungaroring, two days after claiming his first ever points for Williams with P8 at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
It’s not the first time that Russell has tested for Mercedes during his active F1 career, having also completed tests in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi for the Silver Arrows back in 2019 – while his first ever F1 test was in a Mercedes W08 at the same Hungaroring track in 2017.Russell to drive for Mercedes in this week’s 2022 tyre test in Hungary | Formula 1®

Williams' best points haul [in a single race] since Baku 2017.On a good note, Williams got their first double points finish since Monza 2018, when Sirotkin was driving for them. This also moves them up to P8 in the constructors with 10 points.
Yes it is, because they finished P9 & 10 at Monza.Williams' best points haul [in a single race] since Baku 2017.
True, a cheeky move but worth a try.I think he also overtook the developing queue in the pit lane. Then he was ordered to give the places back during the next lap.
Alonso played his part in keeping Hamilton behind him for a number of laps after Hamilton's 2nd pit stop with some on-the-limit driving, but in the end it was Ocon's day
Williams have opted to release development driver Dan Ticktum with immediate effect.
The 22-year-old joined Williams from Red Bull ahead of the 2020 campaign and renewed his arrangement for this season in March.
The two-time Macau Grand Prix winner carried out work in the simulator to aid the F1 team’s car development, while also assisting the team at the factory and race track.
He was dovetailing the role with his second F2 campaign and currently sits fourth in the standings, 19 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.
However, Williams confirmed to F1.com that Ticktum was released from his role – and their driver academy - last week, with half the F1 campaign still to go. The reasons for his departure remain unclear.
That leaves Roy Nissany, who has driven in FP1 for the team three times this season, their reserve Jack Aitken, and W Series champion Jamie Chadwick in the driver academy.
Dan Ticktum has been released from Williams.

This comes after a stream by Ticktum before the race, in which he said "scooby dooby doo, Latifi is poo", before following it up with calling him a pay driver and being insulting over it. Latifi of course, being one of the biggest funders of the team.
