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). When the track was cleared, Hamilton made another mistake and lost more places. His rival and team mate also lost many places, because of a collision with Ricciardo, which resulted a puncture for the German. In the meantime, Raikkonen had a mechanical failure and was forced to retire. With all that going on, Alonso and Button had the opportunity to bring their McLare...

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. The surprise of the race was Raikkonen. The Finn started from far behind and finished sixth, which is his best result this year.

Επιστροφή της McLaren, η Lotus πρέπει να κερδίσει

GP Ουγγαρίας Επιστροφή της McLaren στις νίκες. Μετά την κατάκτηση της pole από τον Hamilton (που ήταν η 150 η για την αγγλική ομάδα), ο βρετανός πιλότος πήρε και τη νίκη, επιστεγάζοντας την ανωτερότητα της McLaren σε αυτόν τον αγώνα. Όμως, δεν ήταν άνετη η νίκη, αφού ο Raikkonen με εκπληκτική εμφάνιση έφερε τη Lotus του στη δεύτερη και είχε διαφορά περίπου ενός δευτερολέπτου από τον πρωτοπόρο. Ας όψεται το απαγορευτικό σε προσπεράσματα Hungaroring, αλλιώς ίσως ο νικητής να ήταν άλλος.... Είναι φανερό ότι κάποια στιγμή θα πάρουν και τη νίκη στη Lotus, αρκεί να βελτιωθούν στις κατατακτήριες. Το σημαντικό είναι ότι όλα δουλεύουν υπέρ του Alonso, που παρότι τερμάτισε 5 ος , μεγάλωσε τη διαφορά που τον χωρίζει από τον δεύτερο στο πρωτάθλημα οδηγών, τον Webber, που τερμάτισε 8 ος . Από την άλλη, στο πρωτάθλημα κατασκευαστών οι ανακατατάξεις στους τελευταίους αγώνες είναι συνεχείς, αν εξαιρέσουμε την πρώτη, την Red Bull. Η Ferrari από τη δεύτερη θέση, είναι πια τέταρτη. Την πέρασαν M...
