Hungarian GP Review
Lewis Hamilton wins his 4th Hungarian GP and his first win for Mercedes. Kimi held off an attacking Sebastian Vettel to finish 2nd with Vettel 3rd completing the podium. Mark Webber finish a incredible 4th after having a KERS problem in Qualifying meaning he started 10th. Alonso kept his 5th place position after he over toke Rosberg and nearly Grosjean round the outside which was a great move but Grosjean had him covered. Rosberg then fell back the order when him and Felipe Massa made contact on lap 1 and Rosberg had a problem with his car in the closing laps f the race and had to park his car in the run off zone of the track. After the front runners pitted Webber and Button stayed out for they had started the race on the hard tyre while the others started on the soft tyres. Hamilton over toke Button his old team mate while leaving Vettel, Grosjean and Alonso stuck behind him for 12 laps until they over toke him when his tyres fell off the cliff in terms of performance and Vettel easily got round him and then coming down the straight and in to the chicane Grosjean push Button off and made a collision and then cut the corner as Alonso then got held back by button for a few seconds which gave him more than a second advantage. He had one drive through penalty and he has a 20 second penalty for the race but he stays in the same position. Alonso had a car problem and he used the DRS on three occasions where he wasn't allowed to. It was a settings error that was to blame not FERNANDO so Ferrari were handed a 15,000 euro fine while Fernando was handed no penalty. Webber and Hamilton had run away while the train of Button, Vettel, Grosjean and Alonso were battling but Webber had to pit for soft tyres and came 4th from 10th.

Nico Rosberg wins a very lucky GP. At the start of the race Webber from 4th had a bad start. He held up a bunch of car and let people like Massa through and he lost some parts of his front wing and went wide and lost lots of position. Lewis Hamilton had a tyre blow out within the first 10 laps. We also had tyre blow out on one of Felipe Massa's rear tyres a few laps later. JEV had a tyre blow out to which called out the safety car because of all the debris. Fernando Alonso had a great come back from 11th to 4th after Ferrari's terrible qualifying and from Mark Webber's start. The race was running smoothly after the safety car period until Sebastian Vettel had a gear box problem and had to park his car at the side of the pit strait and brought out another safety car. Only a few cars changed their tyres in the leading bunch. Fernando Alonso came in to the pits but lost lots of positions because not many people pitted for tyres like his rival Kimi Raikkonen who then found his way in to 2nd place. So after the safety car came in Alonso had a lot of ground to make up but he had a tyre advantage. He over toke all the way from 8th to 3rd in the space of only a few laps.
