2016 Hungarian Grand Prix - Driver ratings

Following Lewis Hamilton’s third win in a row, F1i looks back at how the Hungarian Grand Prix unfolded and gives each driver a rating out of ten

Lewis Hamilton - 1st place, 25 points - 8.5/10

Although it wasn’t his most spectacular victory, Hamilton will feel justice was done at the start as he jumped into the lead ahead of Nico Rosberg. Looked set for pole position before being hampered by yellow flags in qualifying, but the good start allowed him to dictate the pace and he never came under serious attack from his team-mate despite the gap often being under a second. Wasn’t helped by a slight mistake at Turn 12 late on, but aside from that had matters under control.
