So sportsmanship isn't quite dead then!!!

Was somewhat amazed by Hamilton's move letting Bottas back past on the last lap at Hungary. I know he'd agreed to, but meanwhile Bottas had dropped best part of 10 seconds & had Verstappen right on his tail. I do hope he doesn't live to regret it as it could cost him the championship!

I can't imagine Vettel doing the same thing, can you?

The whole Mercedes ethos should be the envy of the paddock.

Well done to both of them ! and to Toto for allowing them to take the risk of swapping back.

Vettel doesn't need to as Ferrari make that decision for him. Smart move by Hamilton as a Merc 1-2 swap in Hamilton's favour may help secure the championship later. Sacrifice 3 points now for potential 7 gain in needed/available later

As has been said, I suspect Hamilton is more than aware that the sacrifice of a few points for the goodwill of the Finn, may well reap huge rewards towards the end of the season.

The procession around Hungary is always going to create it's own unique issues.

The fact that I actually watched the race last weekend says it all, Formula Hamilton-Mercedes this year has not been the bore-fest of previous years. I had initial doubts, not knowing if the Finn was capable of flying, but he's getting there. Having both seats in the silver cars occupied by similar skillsets is vital to the spectacle. The Verstappen Torpedo is always there to add a certain unpredictability too.
