GP of Japan

Big in Japan Hamilton won his 41st GP, matching legend Ayrton Senna. Although he didn't start from pole, he passed his teammate at the first corner and never looked back. On the other hand, Rosberg who was fastest at Qualifying, dropped a few places and managed to finish second thanks to pit-stop strategy. After a short break, Mercedes returned to winning, with their 8th 1-2 victory this year. Now they have to score 3 points more than Ferrari to secure the Constructors' Championship.

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...
