F1 News - Hungarian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton wins in Hungary to extend title lead

https://ift.tt/2v1fl9M


Lewis Hamilton won a tense strategic battle at the Hungarian Grand Prix to head into Formula 1's summer break with a 24-point championship lead.

Ferrari appeared to blow their best chance to challenge the Mercedes driver, delaying a pit stop for Sebastian Vettel long enough to lose their advantage over Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas and emerge behind the Finn.

It was a critical error that could have cost Vettel second place - but Vettel fought back and passed Bottas with five laps to go.

Bottas misjudged an attempt to defend from Vettel who passed on the outside on the run to Turn Two. Trying to maintain the place from too far back, Bottas locked a wheel, slid onto the kerb, hit Vettel and damaged the Mercedes' front wing.

Vettel emerged unscathed and Bottas carried on, only to have another contact with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo when the Australian tried to pass around the outside at Turn One and Bottas locked up and slid into him.

Despite the late drama, the big picture is that Ferrari have now lost two races in a row that they might have won in different circumstances.

Hamilton's advantage with nine races to go is almost a clear victory and puts him in a strong position for when the season re-starts in Belgium at the end of August.

More to follow.
