Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Hungarian Grand Prix - Friday - Budapest, Hungary

Felipe Nasr: 7.5/10

In one sense, Nasr was always going to struggle to live up to expectations after scoring a remarkable fifth place in the opening race. For a rookie it would be easy to get carried away with such a result, but the Brazilian has remained realistic and has taken his chances when they came with further top ten finishes in China and Monaco. The car has become less competitive but Nasr has generally got more out of it than team-mate Marcus Ericsson over a race weekend, with Canada the obvious exception as he crashed heavily after losing control with the DRS accidentally activated while warming his tyres during FP3.
