Hungarian Grand Prix - the better man won

Lewis Hamilton refused to blame his team and said that "the better man won" as he endured a difficult Hungarian Grand Prix to finished fourth.
Hamilton led early in the race and looked favorite for victory as he built up a nine second lead by the half way point. With his team-mate Jenson Button in second place McLaren looked to have the race under control, but then the decision to put on supersoft tires during the third pit stop while Button, Vettel and Webber put on softs with 30 laps to go proved costly.

Hamilton was slower and had to make an extra pit stop, while a rain shower also caused him to spin and lose his lead, before getting a drive through for forcing Paul di Resta off the track as he recovered. Hamilton said he had struggled with his front left tire, but was full of praise for the race winner.

F1 start of season

Formula 1 season opener Albert Park Melbourne, Australia. The wait has been a little longer than anybody anticipated due to the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix, but on Friday morning Formula One will be back on track in Australia. For the fans the past two weeks have been made all the more agonizing by the amount of unanswered questions building up over the winter. Will the regulation changes improve the racing? Is Mercedes really a front runner? How far is the McLaren off the pace? In Australia all the pre-season pontificating will finally be put straight by some cold, hard results.

Red Bull has been used as the measurement of performance by most the other teams on the grid during pre-season testing this year.
