Sebastian Vettel won a breathless Hungarian GP on Sunday after keeping his cool out front when just about everyone else behind seemed to lose theirs.
The Ferrari driver took his second win of the season after making a fine start from third on the grid and holding on to it. But there were chaotic scenes behind the German, both at the start and towards the end of the 69-lap race.
Red Bull pair Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo eventually finished second and third, with the Australian claiming a podium place despite collisions with both Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
The coming together with Hamilton occurred during a race re-start on lap 49, six laps after a high-speed crash involving Nico Hulkenberg – the German’s Force India having lost its front wing on the start-finish straight – brought out the Safety Car.
Hulkenberg swiftly extracted himself from his wrecked car at Turn 1 and the same corner was the setting for the drama that followed. Running fifth behind Hamilton at the re-start, Ricciardo challenged the world champion under braking but was forced out wide.
