Ocon: "What a moment! It feels so good, first victory since the Renault group came back. We've come back to a fantastic pace and...what can I say? Congrats to Fernando too, the win is also thanks to him."
Vettel: "I'm obviously a bit disappointed, I think I was faster through the majority of the race but Esteban didn't do a mistake. Well deserved for him to celebrate his first victory."
So, Ocon and Vettel have both parked in the wrong place. Hamilton was the only man to restart from the grid, and to bring his car to parc ferme, so at least he's got that going for him...
"Oh man, I tried, I tried, I tried the whole race! Following is so hard...sorry guys," Vettel says, P2 being of little consolation.
Sainz claims fourth ahead of Alonso, with late fastest-lapper Gasly beating Tsunoda to sixth. And it's a big six-pointer for Williams, as Russell held off Verstappen at the end.
It's a special day for Williams. Latifi comes home in eighth while Russell finally snares his first points for the team in ninth. The drought is over!
What a stunning victory for Ocon! That's the Enstone squad's first win since 2013.
Sebastian Vettel has to accept second, as Lewis Hamilton recovers to third!
But at the end of the day, there's something you should know. Esteban Ocon wins the Hungarian Grand Prix!
Gasly did a late stop, taking on the softs to potentially steal away the fastest lap from Hamilton. Cheeky.
Final lap! Hamilton's closing in on the leaders - but he's 3s off Vettel at the moment.
Two laps remaining! Ocon is 1.5s clear of Vettel now - can the Aston Martin mount a late charge?
"Aaaaargh", Sainz exclaims. He's now got Alonso to think about behind him.
Sainz gave it a good go, and tried to fight it back around the outside of Turn 2, but Hamilton was too much for him.
Sainz is able to defend first time around, but his tyres are much older than Alonso's - and Hamilton clears the Ferrari driver with DRS into Turn 1!
While there is plenty action at the front, spare a thought for those in the Williams garage. It must be squeaky bum time down there, two cars in the points three laps remaining. Latifi is P8 with Russell, dare we say it, on course for two points in ninth.
Just a puff of lock-up smoke was all Hamilton needed from Alonso, and Sainz is next up for Hamilton.
Alonso goes deep into turn 1, and Hamilton finally breaks the Alpine driver's steely exterior and gets fourth place!
