Hungarian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton roars into championship lead

It wasn't the most enthralling of races, contrasting sharply with the overload of drama during qualifying.

Lewis Hamilton finally got the good start he was hoping for, moving past Nico Rosberg at the start - and he took it all the way to the end. The stewards danced a can-can of sorts, and driver and team congratulated each other in rather muted fashion - even though this is the first time in 2016 Hamilton has taken the lead in the drivers' standings.

Five stars out of five. A fabulous start from Hamilton, who had Daniel Ricciardo in his slipstream and Rosberg battling to hold on to the lead. He moved in front of both, and tried to stretch his advantage, but didn't manage to get more than a second in front of his team-mate. Then a third of the way in he began to lose pace, and the Red Bull started to close on the pair of them.

Hamilton was instructed very clearly to pick his speed up, else they'd bring Rosberg in first and give him the advantage in the closing stages. That was enough to jolt him into action.

"I'm driving like a grandma," sighed Max Verstappen. For a young man he has some very old-fashioned views on gender; he'd commented before the race that he needed his mum to come round to do his housework.

Max Verstappen did well to hold off Kimi Raikkonen for most of the race - the Finn was livid at one point as he clipped the back of the Red Bull, arguing that the young Dutchman was making two moves to cover his position, but no investigations followed.

It's tricky to overtake here, and Raikkonen showed the importance of experience on this twisty track, moving past the feisty teenager of Red Bull and holding off his immediate fightback on Lap 17.

Excellent strategic work from Ferrari to get Raikkonen through the field after a terrible qualifying. He went for an early stop, switching on to super softs, and proved himself very pacey as he moved into the points and finished sixth.

Renault and Jolyon Palmer had a disappointing Saturday, with their plans utterly crushed by the repeated red flags in Q1. Race day, however, was a different matter - some brilliant work at the pit stop and some great driving combined for an excellent display.

He took P12 - but could have done even better had he not veered off the track when he was looking set for points.

Oh, McLaren. You get your pair of drivers in the top 10, and then Jenson Button complains frantically about his brake pedal going all the way to the floor. His team advise him to stay out - to which he wails about "the race from hell" - and tell him not to shift. For all that, he picks up a drive-through penalty for breaking radio regulations - and he complained vociferously, pointing out that brakes failing would certainly count as a safety issue and should be permitted as a topic of discussion.

Seven laps from the end, smoke was emanating from the car, and Button's woeful race was over as his team called him in.

Short of star power in Hungary, unfortunately. Not even Mercedes - the usual hangout of the rich and famous - could offer any celebrity selfies.
