Ricciardo is asked if Kvyat is holding up, and says he is. Kvyat is then told not to hold his team-mate up.
Nothing in it in the laptimes between the Ferraris and Rosberg, they're all in the 1m28.2/3s range right now.
Hamilton is all over the back of Massa - he looks to the outside of Turn 2.
Hamilton locked up at the chicane on lap one - Rosberg didn't squeeze him out. A simple mistake.
EDD STRAW: "This will be interesting strategically. Rosberg is clearly the best shot for Mercedes now, and the team will be looking perhaps to jump one Ferrari at each round of pitstops. But passing on track will be extremely difficult, so by having two cars up front, Ferrari is in a very promising position. Rosberg looks to be hanging back now and looking after his tyres, so we've yet to get a clear view on exactly how the race pace compares."
Ricciardo got away slowly at the start and then hit Bottas on the run out of Turn 1.
Vettel is now 1.8s clear of Raikkonen, and 4.2s ahead of Rosberg.
Credit to the top four drivers for the way they handled the start - it would have been very easy for any of them to make contact in Turns 1 and 2.
Rosberg tried to fight back at Raikkonen on lap one, but he locked up on the outside of Turn 2, so it handed the place to the Finn.
Massa gets a five second penalty at his next pitstop for causing the aborted start.
Quote
Ricciardo reports that his team-mate Kvyat "is struggling a lot" ahead of him.
Ricciardo and Hamilton have a look up the inside of Kvyat and Massa respectively at Turn 1.
Mercedes' victory hopes surely rest solely on Rosberg's shoulders now. Hamilton will make progress, but it's going to be tough work around a track like this.
Vettel leads Raikkonen by 1.5s, with Rosberg 2.1s behind the Finn.
Quote
Grosjean sounds agitated too. The Lotus driver says he touched with one of the Toro Rosso drivers.
Hamilton takes a very wide line through Turn 5 as he hunts Massa.
To recap the start, Vettel went around the outside of the Mercedes drivers, nearly banging wheels with Hamilton. Rosberg got pinched on the inside, allowing Raikkonen to also steal a march and slot into second through Turn 2.
Hamilton has started to close on Massa.
Ferrari could not have imagined it would end up one-two in the early stages of this grand prix.
Quote
Ricciardo: "I had contact with Bottas, don't know if I have damage."
Another fast starter was Alonso - he's up to P12.

Kvyat is under huge pressure from Ricciardo.
There is gravel all over the track at the chicane where Hamilton went off.
Quote
Hamilton complains that Rosberg pushed him wide.
What a terrible first lap for Mercedes, and in particular Hamilton.
The Ferraris have cleared off - Vettel and Raikkonen are way clear of Rosberg.
Ricciardo has dropped to P9 in the first lap chaos.
Looks like Hamilton is 10th.
Disaster for Hamilton, he's tumbled down the order.
Hamilton is off at the chicane, through the gravel.
Vettel squeezed Hamilton around the outside into Turn 1,
It's a Ferrari one-two, Raikkonen into second, Rosberg third.
Hamilton slow away, he's swamped! Vettel leads!
Lights out
At the second attempt, the Hungarian GP is go!

"Yeah, I couldn't see the yellow line," said Massa.
Here the field comes again for take two of the start, then.
Quote
Massa's engineer informs him: "The reason for that aborted start was that you stopped short."
Ah, Massa was the offender. Not lined up properly on the grid.
Hmm, everyone got away cleanly, so it doesn't look like we had a stalled car causing that delay.
