Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel won the Hungarian Grand Prix and paid tribute to Jules Bianchi yesterday. The second and third spot was sealed by Red Bull drivers Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo. It was a proud moment for Vettel as he equalled third with the great legend Ayrton Senna with his 41st win overall.
21 year old Kvyat of Russia drove magnificently to claim his first ever podium. Defending champion Lewis Hamilton started from pole position but managed to finish sixth after he ran off the track. Nico Rosberg was very unfortunate as his tyre got punctured when he was all set to take the second position. The German drive had to be content with the eight position at the chequered flag.
Jos Verstappen of Netherlands finished fourth for Toro Rosso and Spaniard Fernando Alonso finished fifth for Mclaren. Force India cars started at 11th and 13th position but could not finish the race.
There was a minute's silence in memory of Jules Bianchi before the race started. The drivers stood arm in arm in circle around their helmets along with Bianchi's family.
"This victory is for Jules," said the Ferrari driver after the win. "We know that it has been an incredibly tough week and it’s for all of us very difficult, so this one is for him and especially all the people in Ferrari. We knew that sooner or later he would have been part of our team, part of this family. Cette victoire, c’est pour Jules.”
Lewis Hamilton leads the championship table with 202 points followed by team-mate Nico Rosberg with 181 points and Sebastian Vettel with 160 points. Nico Hulkenburg despite the crash, is in 9th poistion with 24 points. In the constructors table, Mercedes is seating comfortable with 383 points, followed with Ferrari and Williams with 236 ad 151 points. Force India is in fifth position with 39 points.
