GP of Hungary

In memory of Jules The slow track of Hungary was suitable for other teams to shine. To start of, the two Ferraris as soon as the red lights turned off, passed the front row drivers (Hamilton and Rosberg). Contrary to what happened in Silverstone, the drivers of Ferrari had a good pace and didn't worry about being passed. Hamilton, although the previous days was fastest in each session, didn't make a good start and also went off track, costing him many places. The Briton didn't give up and managed to reach fourth place when the safety car was deployed (because a Force India driver had an accident).

GP of Great Britain

Mixed conditions... and feelings The drivers of Williams made a brilliant start and took by surprise the drivers of Mercedes. Massa and Bottas qualified in positions 3 and 4, but they were first and second respectively during the first stint. Hamilton was the first to stop for a tire change and after that he had no one in front of him, so he could pick up the pace.

Rain started at the last stint and Rosberg drove fearlessly and passed both Massa and Bottas. With the rain getting stronger, all drivers switched to Intermediates. Under those conditions, Vettel had a good pace and passed the drivers of Williams, to claim third place.
