Moment of truth. The wet will give us a chance against the fast Racing Points. Fingers crossed for a clean start and any position gained is welcomed. Let's hope they had a set up based on wet yesterday and surprise everyone today.

Bless the rain gods! Fingers crossed we survive the start, pace in the wet has been very good. Could actually have a shot at some big points today. Always added excitement for a wet race.

Here we go! Not only the car seems to behave well in the rain, both Norris and Sainz seem to enjoy driving in those conditions... The best part is that the rain negated the tire disadvantage at the start of the race

The rain definately makes things interesting and it's our best chance to take the fight to the racing Points and the Ferraris. I don't expect though to match Mercedes. They are unbeatable.

Very bad start from Norris. Sainz started a little better. It's like he slept before the start.

What the hell happened with Sainz during that Pitstop? They took up their sweet time to change these tyres.

My guess is they couldn’t release them because of traffic... Not a great start to the race for McLaren...

Disastrous so far. Bad start and then we couldn't come out from the pitstop despite changing tyres faster. We are now stuck in the midfield.

The only worst scenario would be a DNF for both drivers. Sainz is under investigation. Norris is 18th... in Hungary. I cant believe it.

I think the pit stop was fast this time but I have no idea why he lost so many places and didn't immediately took off. Was it because of traffic inside the garage?
