The race will be eventful in itself but with Mercedes competing against each other for the driver championship, Ferrari still pushing for the Constructor Championship, and Red Bull nipping at their heels, the Hungarian Grand Prix promises to be a spectacular affair. “It seems like the people who are taking these directions don’t know what to do”.

Following Nico Rosberg’s penalty for instructions he was given by Mercedes to solve a gearbox problem during the British Grand Prix, the FIA has issued a further technical directive to all the teams ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix highlighting the changes. “I personally trust my eyes more than the sensors”.

I think we’d all prefer not to have to have that system, but we do have to have that system. “We need something, we need a limit to stop us going over there”.
