Torrente Grabs Fourth Consecutive Win for Precision
Qualifying:
* demoted three places for causing an avoidable accident
Report:
Not only has Precision won four consecutive races, they also have won four consecutive Hungarian Grands Prix now. Diego Torrente was ready to take the lead at the final round of stops, doing so and securing yet another win.
This is not good news for Pastor Maldonado, who needed this win to strike back in his championship clash with Dean Stoneman and the other competitors, but could only finish second. Still, his distance to Stoneman, who could only finish fifth, has shrunk.
Sunday was not a good day if you aren’t Precision, Sauber, Caterham, Theodore or Ferrari and were looking into scoring points. The five best teams in Formula One shared the points-finishes amongst themselves, leaving none for others.
Kevin Magnussen was the closest, only finishing ten seconds off tenth place. Holden also were reasonably good with 12th and 13th. Certainly better than Haas, who had a mediocre day, and Max Verstappen and Pascal Wehrlein, who had a racing accident fighting over PNowhere.
Race:
Fastest Lap:
Pastor Maldonado – 1:16.303
Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:
Sebastian Vettel – overcame a Sauber and was able to annoy the podium drivers for a long time.
Reject Of The Race:
J.R. Hildebrand – stupid error on lap 1, he can drive better than this.
