AND WE ARE GREEN IN HUNGARY

hamilton gets a good launch, he's well clear of russell

who is being attacked by verstappen, side by side into turn 1, MAX IS OUT FOR BLOOD

he's side by side with HAMILTON

down to turn 2 they go, Max on the inside

he holds position, Lewis tries the outside

and he JUST SQUEEZES PAST

a lockup in the back someone's been spun at turn 2!

looks to be a McLaren

hamilton leads then ahead of verstappen then russell leclerc albon and ricciardo

📻 I've got damage!

📻 Yeah, box box for a front wing change and hards

let's look at a replay

so it's piastri and Norris cleanly into turn 1, ricciardo has just gotten past Oscar there

and as the crowd barrels down to turn 2..Oscar just locks up on the inside and sends lando around

there will be some stern words from Zak brown here

anyway, back to the front, Verstappen gaining on Hamilton, but he can't send it quite yet

but Russell can!

hes down the inside but he has to pull out

Someone's gone off, and that looks to be the Williams of Theo Pourchaire! That's a heavy impact at Turn 4, that'll need a safety car.

And Hamilton is not gonna like this one, his gap of just over 7 seconds has gone in a flash.

looks like Albon, Tsunoda, Sainz, and Piastri have all chosen to stay out

[astral zenith]

Tsunoda enters boxes, to put up new mediums.

IRWIN: One stop strategy, one stop strategy, conserve tires until later laps, we will put up softs.

ALBON: Copy that.

Albon begins to defend with all his might with the older tires after the end of the safety car, 4 drivers less than 2 seconds away from him.

[woeful skiff]

He locks up! Hamilton sees his chance, and goes for the move! He’s now in the lead.

[astral zenith]

Verstappen follows suit, so do Piastri and Russell.

Hamilton: +0.000

📻 : And we are going to box now.

Hamilton’s gonna be the first to come in for a second stop. Verstappen will take the lead, but he was 5 seconds behind before Hamilton pit.

LAP 53/70
Verstappen comes in now, and it’s a 1.9 pit stop time! Hamilton only had a 3.9 pit stop, but where is it gonna lead him . . .

Verstappen has made an over cut work!

LAP 57/70

Albon’s locked up. That one stop strategy doesn’t look to be working, he’s in P6 at the moment.

ALB: I need to come in.

📻 : Copy Alex. We’ll be ready for you.

Albon’s made his stop and now drops to P9. Not a good strategy from Mercedes, always being known for staying out as long as possible.

Rumors of a nail-biter like no other for 2025 is what I would say, had 2021 not been just like this.

Max is in Hamilton's place now, but will his killer instinct be enough?

[woeful skiff]

Alright now before I release standings I have a few 2026 market moves I wanna do because we haven’t done many

[astral zenith]

Antonelli to Williams?

He's 20 now

Probably an F2 Champion, stuck as Merc reserve, wanting to leave

[woeful skiff]

I’m not involving Williams in this yet

[astral zenith]

and Sargeant stinks as of now

[woeful skiff]

Although I’ll keep an Antonelli move in mind

[woeful skiff]

No he’s doing great this season

Scored 7 points in total and one fastest lap

He’s signed for AMR in 2026

In place of the retiring Alonso

[woeful skiff]

(This wasn’t me)

[astral zenith]

Max's status rn?

Red Bull isn't giving him the car

[woeful skiff]

Still signed on until 2028

And he has no plans of moving teams any earlier than that

[astral zenith]

Okay then, so what are the moves you'll suggest

[woeful skiff]

First I’m doing a market signing with Alpine

Just gimme 5 mins to photoshop

[astral zenith]

Alr

[woeful skiff]

BREAKING: Pierre Gasly extends his deal with Alpine F1 Team, with a new contract that will keep him at the Enstone-based outfit until the end of 2028.

Of course it’ll be Renault next season.

Now for my next move, I’m gonna need help from @placid lagoon

DMs

[astral zenith]

What about O'Sullivan and Antonelli for Williams? They are dead last

Need to shake things up

[woeful skiff]

I’ll judge based on their irl performances in Formula 2 this year. As it stands, Antonelli is lining up better to be joining Williams.

[astral zenith]

I mean both

Theo got 4 points

[woeful skiff]

Williams ain’t gonna fire him after one season

In fact

[astral zenith]

Oh its just been a season?

Alr

[woeful skiff]

BREAKING: Théo Pourchaire signs for another year with Williams in 2026

(I don’t have time to make the graphic)

[woeful skiff]

I mean they’re not gonna fire him just based on half of a season

[placid lagoon]

how the fuck

did Pourchaire get another year

respectfully hes been the worst

Verstappen is back at it, taking back P1, and opening a gap.

FERRARI TEAM ORDER: Charles, let Hamilton through.

Norris has slid off at Les Combes, but he hasn’t slowed down!

Is this gonna be a penalty?

5 SECOND PENALTY FOR CAR 4 ( NOR) - EXCEEDING TRACK LIMITS

Now this is interesting because Piastri has a penalty of his own!

LAP 36/41
Six laps to go, Piastri looks for a move into La Source, Albon blocks him!

He’s going deliberately slower than you’d expect so Russell can get farther away, and it’s working!

Hamilton with the double overtake after the infighting between Ricciardo and Leclerc, who have fallen into the kerb.

Max Verstappen follows suit.

And that status of those two doesn't seem to be recovering, with the Red Bull behind Alonso, and Leclerc behind the other spaniard, while neck and neck with not only Sainz, but also Yuki Tsunoda.

Ralf Schumacher, in the pits for new tires.

it's going to be great laps of racing here.

WILLIAMS IS TAKING A LONG PIT STOP THERE! THIS IS DISASTROUS! SARRAZIN, TAKAGI AND ZONTA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WILLIAMS'S PIT FAIL!

EDDIE IRVINE IS CLOSE DOWN THE STRAIGHT TO MIKA HÄKKINEN

Meanwhile DINIZ! WHAT AN OVERTAKE ON ZANARDI, AS DINIZ CLIMBS UP TO 18TH PLACE FOR THIS GRAND PRIX!

Ricardo Zonta, telling his engineers he has a puncture!

Will BAR box Zonta in order to check the damage in Zonta's wheel?

Meanwhile Mika Häkkinen is seconds away from Eddie Irvine, will Mika Häkkinen take victory once again?

[strong compass]

I guess

[woeful cairn]

Damon Hill, will be taking fastest lap away from Mika Häkkinen! Impressive from the world champion of 1996!

[grizzled moss]

Fifa fish made the wrong clarifications

[undone rivet]

no he did not

me @woeful skiff and fifa continued on lap 18

so he didn't get anything wrong

[grizzled moss]

There was no record of hulkenburg even dnf

[undone rivet]

yes but regardless we continued off that

let's just say engine issues

[grizzled moss]

Alonso is in second

[undone rivet]

look let me just say that you and a few others missed the updates and therefore reverted to lap 18

when it should and is lap 41

[grizzled moss]

Bc he went to far into the race

[undone rivet]

well that's allowed

isn't it? @woeful skiff @placid lagoon

[grizzled moss]

Yes but he basically skipped the whole rain part

[strong compass]

Hulkenburg can retire but it need to be in text

You cant just put it up that he retired

[woeful skiff]

Yeah you’re allowed to skip ahead in some races

[grizzled moss]

Fifafish and fortnite card didn't do it correctly so

Idk

[strong compass]

I thought this was how it was done

It creates more excitement

And its more fun

[grizzled moss]

I didn't really mean it like that is not to skip too much or it becomes boring

[strong compass]

Correct

So on lap 22 or later we can get Hulkenburg retiring

But it need the be said

But we need to all agree where to start again from

[strong compass]

Do we start lap 22?

[placid lagoon]

you can skip just not like fuckin 20 laps

[strong compass]

So if this happens you just restart it from lap 19

yeah I'd say
