Another great Grand Prix this time held in Hungary.
Hamilton ended his qualifying session with his car on fire and Magnussen after a huge hit in Q3 was forced to start the race from the pit lane after chassis changes.
With adverse weather conditions, Rosberg quietly led the race until lap 9 – the safety car made its appearance after Ericsson’s crash. Grosjean crashed and the presence of the safety car was extended up to lap 14.
After that everything started to change with different tactics for each team and driver. On lap 23, the safety car returned after Perez’s accident and Alonso became the fourth race leader, after Rosberg, Button and Ricciardo.
There were no more safety car appearances until the end, but lots of emotion, with lots of battles at the front of the pack. Alonso, Hamilton and Ricciardo drove for several laps separated by less than a second.
This is the second win for Ricciardo and Alonso took his best result of the season second. Raikkonen also achieved his best result of the season with sixth place in the other Ferrari.
The Mercedes had to settle for third place for Hamilton who like last week made a remarkable recovery and fourth for Rosberg. Williams added 14 more points to their score after Massa finished in fifth and Bottas eighth.
Vettel was seventh and Button tenth. Vergne added two more points for Toro Rosso finishing ninth.
F1 will stop for almost a month and it will return in Belgium on 24th August.
Current standings:
Drivers: Rosberg (202 points), followed by Hamilton (191) and Ricciardo (131).
Constructors: Mercedes (393), followed by Red Bull (219) and Ferrari (142).
