Lewis Hamilton took his first win for Mercedes by dominating the Hungarian Grand Prix. Hamilton controlled the race as he beat Lotus’s Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel into second and third.
Red Bull’s Mark Webber recovered from 10th on the grid to take fourth ahead of Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. Raikkonen moves one point ahead of Alonso into second in the championship, 38 points adrift of Vettel, who is on course for a fourth title.
Alonso spent the last stint of the race holding off Lotus’s Romain Grosjean, whose podium chances were wiped out by a penalty for overtaking off the track. The Frenchman passed Ferrari’s Felipe Massa around the outside of Turn Four on lap 29, but had all four wheels beyond the white line that demarcates the track limits and he was given a drive-through penalty.
Nico Rosberg was on course for ninth before retiring in flames with five laps to go, promoting McLaren’s Sergio Perez to ninth ahead of Pastor Maldonado, who scored Williams’s first point of the season.
