As usual the Hungarian Grand Prix, it is among the most spectacular and full of suspense races of the year, Hungarian GP delivered once again on the 30 year anniversary what a way to celebrate an old school race track the HUNGARORING is not disappointed this time either.
That's what I call a race! .Great job by each and every driver even though with all those penalties and collisions. A lot of heart put into the race by the drivers and I'm sure Jules would have wanted the same. Jules was looking down on this race and smiling his future team winning in an incredible race today
A poignant minute's silence was held in honor of Jules Bianchi before the start of the thirtieth Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix, with drivers forming a ring and placing their race helmets on the ground.
Bianchi's mother Christine and father Philippe, brother Tom and sister Melanie were asked by the drivers to join them in the ring as they all linked arms on the Hungaroring grid to remember Bianchi. The French driver died last week from injuries sustained in a head-on crash at the Japanese Grand Prix last October in 2014.Jules Bianchi would have enjoyed racing today #17.
Grandi grandi grandi! Sebastian Vettel, What a drive by Vettel and great class to dedicate the win to Jules Bianchi.
Outstanding start for Sebastian Vettel pretty much determined the outcome of that race.
ensational race, we've had 2 classic races now with this race topping the lot. Vettel was peerless this afternoon and kept his nose clean, whilst having great pace. He's only 42 points behind in the championship now, so a few more shockers like this from Mercedes, and he could be right in there. Ferrari's pace was a shock, while the Merc struggled in dirty air. Seems that dirty air is more of an issue on this year's cars than last year Ferrari and Redbull have finally stepped up their game. Either that or something went terribly wrong with Mercedes, choosing the wrong tires perhaps. Heck even Honda did amazingly well. Finally, one very exciting race to watch full of drama, both Mercedes wilted today -Nico Rosberg had no pace, made a poor call to echo Hamilton's strategy and put on primes, and chopped across Daniel Ricciardo, which cost him a certain podium, possibly a win, and possibly the championship lead. Hamilton had the pace but his racecraft was very poor and he made far too many errors today. Yet, he still extends his championship lead so he'll be breathing a sigh of relief, but make no mistake, he should have won this race. Both had a mediocre start and Merc will need to work on their clutch and make their starts more consistent. And with the changes from Spa, we could be seeing more bad starts from the Mercedes,
A Lewis Hamilton messed up at the rolling start, I'm afraid he has most definitely had an off day today. Bad day at the office but still extended the points lead...
It days like this that strengthens the Championship for Lewis.
Well the safety car has given Lewis a lifeline in this race, one that he's rather fortunate to have today given Hamilton's awful first lap. The extra work was totally self inflicted, he went across the gravel to avoid locking up & rejoined the pack.
Sebastian Vettel dedicates Hungarian GP win to Jules Bianchi
' Merci Jules, you will always be in our hearts and we know that sooner or later you would have been part of this team,' Sebastian Vettel told his Ferrari crew on the team radio during his slow-down lap.
Congratulations Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari.
