Daniel Ricciardo is ready to get the party started after scoring his second career win in a thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix.
Here are the Twitter highlights from Sunday.
Build-up
Best part of my week. Race day
— Daniel Ricciardo (@danielricciardo) July 27, 2014
Ferrari were happier with their GP2 youngster Raffaele Marciello than yesterday, while McLaren’s Stoffel Vandoorne won the sprint race.
#GP2 @R_Marciello is doing a great race. This is the best answer to our criticism about yesterday's race. #ForzaLello

A masterful @GP2_Official performance from @svandoorne this morning – lights-to-flag victory. #GoStoff pic.twitter.com/wCRjKnskDC

Want to know how relaxed @nico_rosberg is today? This is him trying to stop me getting to the gp3 podium. Haha. pic.twitter.com/0vHa3NZs6Z

The Hungaroring was hit by rain less than an hour before the start, which set up an exciting grand prix.
Just left the track and there is MASSIVE rain. That should make the F1 race very interesting! 👍 pic.twitter.com/GAJlpku0cW

How refreshing to see a standing start in the wet in #F1

Heavy frontal impact for Ericsson. The top four come in for their pit stops. #F1 pic.twitter.com/TY5OmvcsTO

Well, that's a first. Haven't seen that message before! pic.twitter.com/K3Uf8RzzUN

Jean-Eric Vergne’s strong showing in the early stages of the race made for an unusual sight, as he passed Nico Rosberg.
Erm, a Toro Rosso just passed a Mercedes. #F1

Good to see @SChecoPerez climb out after that one. #F1 pic.twitter.com/nlnV82OzDj

Meanwhile, @Ericsson_Marcus is back with us and fine. He had a 20g impact….

Sebastian Vettel was lucky to continue after spinning on the pit straight.
Vettel pays the price for taking liberties with artificial grass on the outside of the final corner. #F1
— Glenn Freeman (@glenn_autosport) July 27, 2014
L42 Raikkonen squeezes Vettel to the limit and no further with an excellent piece of defending in turns two and three. #F1
— F1 Fanatic Live (@f1fanaticlive) July 27, 2014
Can Mercedes really expect their championship-fighting drivers to help each other's strategies now we're this far into the season? #F1

Time for some radio difficulties @MercedesAMGF1 @nico_rosberg @LewisHamilton ? #HungarianGP
— Lotus F1 Team (@Lotus_F1Team) July 27, 2014
Rosberg demands to know why Hamilton isn't pulling over. Engineer resisting the urge to say "you didn't really think he would, did you?" #F1
— F1 Fanatic (@f1fanatic_co_uk) July 27, 2014
For clarification, that extra stop for @nico_rosberg was the reason behind the earlier radio calls – the target being maximising the team…

L62 Battle joined – Alonso leads with Hamilton and Ricciardo bearing down, eight laps to go. #F1 pic.twitter.com/T6hNs6GIKi

Good to see FOM broadcasting more Ferrari radio messages regardless of them not being in English. Hope they keep it up. #F1
— F1 Fanatic (@f1fanatic_co_uk) July 27, 2014
Wow.. What a race! Good work everyone. Now I'm off to punch who ever made the decision to change into the inters. (←Just kidding😆)
— JessicaMichibata (@jessybondgirl) July 27, 2014
What a result for the crew too – up late into the night building that car and rewarded with a podium finish. Get in there! #F1 #HungarianGP
— MERCEDES AMG F1 (@MercedesAMGF1) July 27, 2014
#F1 is really rocking these days. Truly phenomenal racing especially from @danielricciardo @alo_oficial @LewisHamilton on @F1onNBCSports

After the chequered flag
Both of @danielricciardo's F1 victories have come when he has passed a driver for victory with 3 laps remaining (Canada / Hungary 2014)

F1 Show in Hungary (heroic drivers flogging hit-tech machines, start-to-finish action/tension/drama) looked like the pinnacle of motorsport.

@mrjakehumphrey limited to 2 questions then back to winner. Podium right moment to celebrate Lewis' drive, not drop kick him with politics

Time to pay your bills @Lotus_F1Team?
Seriously tho, talk about the last team that should be trash talking.

Trash talking? It was just an amusing comment about the ensuing drama. Any malice you’re seeing must be your own invention. I can only assume you still have a shoulder somewhere underneath that enormous chip…

They do it because we love it, and I for one wouldn’t like them to change, even if their car sucks now

Haha, love that last tweet from Ricciardo! It’s nice to see F1 drivers acting as human beings, sadly it’s becoming quite rare nowadays…

There are many people out there arguing about personality vs. racing skill defining who their favourite driver is.
I laugh at them all because Dan’s one of my favourites, and he’s both one hell of a driver and a cracking guy to know :)

@cgturbo He is one of the exceptions . Really . It’s very hard not to like him . So far . Classy driving , super dude off the car . I’m stumped as I never expected this from him .
