The opening lap at the Hungarian GP saw a lot of drama as soon as the lights went out. A wet track made things difficult for the drivers, and some found themselves considerable grip, others weren’t that lucky.
Heading into turn 1 on the first lap of the race, four drivers were knocked out after a crash that red-flagged the session. This was all caused by Valtteri Bottas, who locked up and took out Lando Norris, and in a matter of seconds, he crashed into Sergio Perez as well.
As usual, Twitter was quick to react, so let’s jump in and see what ensued on social media as four drivers found themselves out of the race.

With so much going in the opening laps of the race, fans can’t wait for the session to be restarted. With the track still being wet due rain, drivers will be extra cautious as they head to the grid for round two of lights out.
Lewis Hamilton still retains his lead in the race and would like to keep that. With a driver down, he knows his team would be extra driven to clinch the race win in Hungary.
