2015 F1 Round 10 Hungarian Grand Prix – Vettel wins, both Red Bulls on the podium

Vettel won the Hungarian Grand Prix on July 26, completing 69 laps in 1:46:09.985 to give Ferrari its second victory of the season. Kvyat finished second, 15.748 seconds behind, with Ricciardo third.

The race had been scheduled for 70 laps, but the first start procedure was aborted because Massa was out of position on the grid. The distance was reduced to 69 laps. When the race started, the two Ferraris quickly took the leading positions.

Vettel took the lead and Räikkönen moved into second. Hamilton made a poor start from pole, then ran into the gravel on the opening lap and dropped to tenth. Rosberg pursued the Ferraris.

On lap 42, Hülkenberg’s front wing detached and his car went into the barriers. Race control first deployed the virtual safety car and then the safety car. The driver was unhurt, but the incident changed the teams’ pit-stop and pursuit strategies.

Räikkönen subsequently suffered an MGU-K problem and lost more and more pace, eventually prompting Ferrari to retire his car. Rosberg moved up to second for a time, but late contact with Ricciardo at Turn 1 damaged his left-rear tyre. He ultimately finished eighth.

Kvyat moved into second and, despite a ten-second penalty for overtaking beyond the track limits, kept his first F1 podium finish. Ricciardo changed his front wing after the collision and recovered to third.

Verstappen finished fourth, Alonso fifth and Hamilton sixth. Hamilton collided with Ricciardo after the safety-car period and served a drive-through penalty before recovering into the points.

Grosjean was seventh, Button ninth and Ericsson tenth. Both McLaren drivers scored points, while Vettel held on to the lead in a race marked by multiple incidents and penalties.
