The five-second penalty for Hamilton seemed fair. Even Russell regarded it as a racing incident and placed the blame on his battery issues. If you push your accelerator all the way down you should expect your car to go flat out, but we are currently in the retard era of the sport. What we saw yesterday was a race on one of the great F1 circuits neutered by the current generation of cars. It occurs to me that we need to import the most fiscally irresponsible members of our governments into F1 and replace them with the FIA economists who believe that the outcome of races should be determined by which driver is best at managing their power supply.
I was surprised that the Piastri/Leclerc incident didn't yield a penalty as that looked more cut and dry.
A driver penalty for Hamilton for the Ferrari pratfalling in the pit-stop would have been unjust. He was focused dead ahead, as he should have been. He had no control over what the mechanics were doing and suffered as a consequence of adjustments not being made to his car.
I enjoyed Verstappen's gambit at the beginning of the race. It was always questionable whether he would be able to hold the position short-term and extremely unlikely that he would have held onto first until the end of the race, but he saw the opportunity and he roled the die.
In terms of their Hungary GP update package, does anyone know if Aston Martin have decided between the front end loader or the rotary tiller?
