GP of Hungary

He who smiles last, smiles best! Daniel Ricciardo won the second GP of his career in front of Alonso and Hamilton. That was an eventful race. Hamilton despite having started from the pit lane, took advantage of the safety car and finished third. On the contrary, Rosberg started from pole and lost time at the first period of the safety car. After that and because of the pit stops, the German fell behind Hamilton but was faster than the Briton, who was ordered to let the championship leader to pass. The former champion didn't obey, which ruined Rosberg's race. The award of the best choreography goes to Vettel, who had a 360 degree spin at the long straight, touched the pit wall, but was able to carry on, of course a few places down.

GP of Great Britain

Victory on home soil Hamilton won the British grand prix and closed the gap between him and Rosberg to just 4 points, despite having started from 6th place. The German driver had his first DNF of this season, due to a gearbox failure. The race stopped for about an hour, because Raikkonen lost control of his car on the first lap and hit the barrier, which had to be replaced. When the race restarted behind the pace car, Hamilton passed quite easily the two McLarens in front of him and started chasing his team mate. But he wasn't fast enough to catch up with him. Luck turned its back to Rosberg for the first time this year and the championship leader parked his single seater beside the track. Great performance by Bottas, who started from far behind (14th) and finished second, after passing several drivers. On the contrary, the other driver of Williams, Massa, was forced to retire after hitting the uncontrolled Ferrari of Raikkonen. Alonso, with the other Ferrari, managed...
