The Hungarian Grand Prix

The formula one group arrived in Budapest last week, with Lewis Hamilton out to close the gap to Nico Rosberg in the championship on one of his favourite tracks. All of the fans were hoping for a race to be remembered before the four week summer break. And what a race it was.

In qualifying, everyone got a shock when the Marussia of Jules Bianchi knocked Raikkonnen out in Q1 thanks to a bad call from Ferrari. Maldonado broke down and didn't make it through Q1. But the biggest shock was when Lewis Hamiltons car caught fire during Q1, with him consequently starting from the pitlane for the race. Nico Rosberg qualified on pole, with Sebastien Vettel qualifying second and Valterie Bottas qualifying third. Kevin Magnussen crashed out in Q3, which meant that Hamilton and Magnussen started from the pitlane.

The race itself was very action packed, with the safety car being called out 3 times! Marcus Ericsson brought the first safety car, Sergio Perez the second and Romain Grosjean the third. This confused the whole order of cars and pit stops. Hamilton came from the pitlane to eventually finish third, while Fernando Alonso managed to get his first podium finish in second, while Daniel Ricciardo won the race after a fantastic drive while Rosberg only managed to finish fourth after failing to get past Hamilton, which he was very disappointed with as he had started on pole. Spa is the next race, in four weeks time. See you then
