Hungaroring Leaves You Hungary For More.

Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari, F1, AGP. (C)

    Enthralling, entertaining, emotional. There isn't enough superlatives to describe last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. With races like we had at the Hungaroring, there certainly isn't a lot wrong with Formula One. The race had it all.
    Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel secured his second victory for 2015. Team mate Kimi Raikkonen looked set to complete a 1-2 for the Scuderia until his Kinetic energy recovery system failed, thus limping into retirement. Red Bull's Daniil Kyvat acquired his maiden F1 podium, while team mate Daniel Ricciardo finished third after threatening for victory, showing the field that overtaking is definitely possible around the twisting Hungaroring. Championship protagonists Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg both had eventful races and for the first time this season were unable to stand on the podium for Mercedes. Rookie Max Verstappen achieved his best result in F1 with a mature drive to fourth. Have McLaren's fortunes finally started to change with a double points haul for the first time this season with their new Honda package? Williams slid backwards while struggling Sauber picked up a point with Marcus Ericsson claiming 10th position. Lotus' Romain Grosjean incurred a penalty for a pitlane unsafe release and held off Rosberg to finish 7th. The driver you had to sympathise with was Force India's Nico Hulkenburg who spectacularly retired with a front wing failure down the main straight. He looked set for a strong result. Fortunately he was not injured.
    Punctures, penalties and plenty of passing. It was compulsive viewing. The Hungarian GP was the culmination of an extremely emotional week following the passing of Jules Bianchi after a brave fight from the injuries sustained at last year's Japanese GP. Earmarked for a future Ferrari drive, Jules was extremely popular and well liked amongst F1 fraternity and fans worldwide. A touching ceremony before the race with the Bianchi family and all the drivers present. No doubt Jules would of been watching the Hungarian GP and been impressed with what he saw. 
    Vale Jules Bianchi.
