Hamilton must have won two Ferrari's on the podium

Tactical Combat at Start

Before the start of the race, the most interesting was the type of rubber chosen for the first segment by the drivers. As the qualification passed in the rain, they were free to choose. The top three riders Lewis Hamilton, Walter Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen chose Ultrasoft, followed by Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sines-Soft.

All leaders performed well and maintained their positions before the first round. However, before the next round, Raikkonen decided to attack Bottas – he did not succeed, and Vettel, who was driving in an outer radius, had a partner at higher speed.

In turn, Max Ferstpenpin came out in fifth place and Sains doubled dropped to eighth. Losing Daniel Riccardo, which Marcus Eriksson touched before the first round – the Australian slipped to 16th position

In the early circles, the situation has traditionally stabilized, but it does not have a chance to win. was not without stairs. Ferrari was a step back, a step back

In the early circles, Hamilton began to increase the advantage over Bottas, and in several rounds he was four seconds after which The Briton was focused on controlling the situation.

Ferrari decided to break the position in the peloton because of the early stop of the Raikkonen pike, which moved to Soft in the 15th lap. Mercedes was forced to react and called to the next circle in the box office of Bottas.

But Hamilton and Vettel stayed on the track. At that moment, the Germans lost a little less than nine seconds, but even with a slight mistake, they started to reduce the latency, and in a few laps, they exceeded six seconds.

Hamilton has been able to maintain the track for a long time. In turn, Vettel continued to go fast enough and began to increase the advantage not only of Hamilton, but – and more importantly – Bottas. At one point, Sebastian 's advantage over Walters was 24 seconds, so in the case of a pit stop, the German could go from the front and win a position.

But suddenly, Vettel's advantage began to melt. First, the Germans were bothered by the circle, and secondly, Mercedes drivers accelerated.

In a few circles, the situation has become critical. In the 40th circle, Raikkonen had already made it to the second pit stop and Vettel had stopped for the first time. The Germans needed an ideal pit stop, but there were problems with the left front wheel, which resulted in a waste of valuable time – the Ferrari driver returned to the track just behind Bottas

Although the German was on rubber faster, the road in Hungary did not provide him with a wide area for attacks. Ferrari was able to get closer to Bottas but no more.

In addition, Raikkonen traveled behind the rear tires, which had doubled Bottas and Vettel in the ten laps, but could do nothing with these drivers.

But further, Bottas have aggravated the track. On the 65th lap (5 at the finish line), Vettel attacked Bottas. First at the first turn, but in front of the fin before the second. Walterie tried to slow Vettel down, but he just leaned over and damaged the front wing.

In a certain way, Vettel did not hurt himself and continued to fight at a brisk pace, while Raikkonen took advantage of Bottasa's problems

. Walteri suddenly lost the pace and was soon forced to defend himself from Riccardo. For three rounds Daniel was attacked by a Mercedes driver, but in the first corner he decided to hurt another Australian who was off the track.

But in the last round, Riccardo finally doubled Bottas. after arrival.

In the middle group, the best was Hassli, who was pretty confident behind Magnussen. Fernando Alonso, who snatched the pit stop and managed to thwart some rivals, again reached the top 10.

In addition, Stoffel Vandororn could have finished behind him, but he dropped the technique. Healthy ended on it.
