The Hungarian Grand Prix was not small on action as Vettel immediately sprinted into the lead from pole position and managed to build a 11. 7s lead ahead of the pack until the safety car was deployed on lap 15.

As soon as the Safety Car was deployed on lap 15, many cars headed straight to the pits to change tyres and re-fuel. This caused a couple of incidents in the pits. Most noticeable was Nico Rosberg’s wheel which was changed but not secured adequately, subsequently came off and luckily did not injure any of the competing mechanics and Rosberg retired as a result of this. Kubica exited his pit and clashed directly into the path of the Force India car driven by Adrian Sutilas as he was entering his pit.

Webber was one of the only front running drivers to not pit and once the safety car went into the pit lane, Webber stayed out and managed to make a 23 second lead ahead of Alonso.

Webber’s lead was helped once Vettel received a drive-through penalty for failing to keep within 10 car lengths behind the safety car.

It seems that the German, Vettel was unaware of his actions until after the race when he was fully briefed by Red Bull. He admitted in the conference to falling asleep. Whatever the case, this penalty lead to Webber making a significant lead over Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso. It seemed that although Vettel remained very close to Alonso, he was simply unable to pass him.

Although Vettel was extremely frustrated, McLaren were too with Hamilton retiring due to a transmission problem and Jenson Button had a lacklustre race finishing 8th.

Williams’ Rubens Barrichello had a lucky escape and described Schumacher’s manouvre as perilous and the worst he had ever witnessed. On Barrichello clearly had the quicker car and was looking to pass, and on lap 66 Barrichello went alongside his former team mate Schumacher on the pit straight and as Barrichello passed him the German went over on him, nearly pushing Barrichello into the pit wall. The stewards announced they will investigate this incident.

Driver’s & Constructor’s Championship

Webber was very pleased with his excellent fortune today and now leads the Driver’s Championship with 161 points ahead of Hamilton who sits on 157 points.

In the Constructors’ stakes, Red Bull have taken the lead from Mclaren with 312 points to McLaren’s 304. Ferrari are still in contention and sit in 3rd place with 238.
