Yeah no-one really stood out.

Norris & Piastri are around where their car is. Maybe Norris outperformed it slightly, but not by much.
Russell's charge through the field was an ingenious solution to his own terrible qualifying, so that rules him out.
Ditto Perez, albeit less extreme.

Since McLaren seem to be the second best car now, I can't vote for Lando every weekend anymore.
So, my nomination is: no-one

Jack Doohan for a dominant grand chelem after a subpar season so far.

Danny Ric. Gets it by default, but after being compromised on Lap 1 thanks to Zhou and dropping to last, he made the Medium tyres last 40 laps and was still lapping competitively. He beat Tsunoda home and outqualified him.
Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Hungary 2023
"No one" is such a boring nomination, almost as boring as the Verstappen domination. So who should I go for?
The drivers and teams that surprised in qualifying (Hamilton, Alfa Romeo) all dropped to their usual places in the race, McLaren was impressive but slightly less so than in the previous race, Pérez had his best performance in ages but it just meant he was close to where he should be. I'll pick Daniel Ricciardo for an impressive return.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Hungary 2023
If I had to mention something it’d be Alfa Romeo for their stunning qualifying speed, shame it went belly up after 2 laps. Otherwise I don’t think anyone did something worthy for it.
Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Hungary 2023
I will tie it between Red Bull for breaking the consecutive wins record (yes it was boring but that doesn't happen everyday. I thought McLaren's 1988 record would never be broken) and McLaren themselves because I didn't expect them to carry over their Silverstone form here. But both are kinda tenuous.
I can actually only see RB losing a race if Max has car problems and Checo keeps qualifying badly and can't quite pull himself to the front like today.

IIDOTR is Alice Powell's fashion adviser for both qualifying and the race. Never again will we be subjected to the DC-esque tighty whities in stereo. Right? Right?
Honourable mention to The Mobile Chicane for mentioning T'Old Website on his recent deep dive on Kimi's five-year stint at McMerc.
A further honourable mention goes to whoever wins The Open, and over the next two hours I'll find out if Brian Harman has cruised to the expected victory, or if... no, surely, nobody could lose a five-shot lead, not even Jean van de Velde crashed that hard. I'll watch it anyway. Also, a further shout for the BBC's golf theme, which is right up there with That Last Bit Of The Chain and Soul Limbo. Does it have a name?

DC avoiding the tighty whities as well was a bonus. I knew that wouldn't last to the race, though.

Qualifying Trial
I thought it was a great trial and put the onus on the driver to make the compound work and drivers like Russell and Sainz couldn't while Zhou, Bottas and a few thrived.
