Sebastian Vettel wins tense Hungarian GP
Hungaroring          [30 July 2017]



Sebastian Vettel claimed Ferrari's first win since May after holding firm under late pressure to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, a victory aided by teammate Kimi Raikkönen holding off a late charge from Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari looked to have the race under control in the opening stint, but a steering problem on Vettel's car put Raikkönen under pressure as the lead Ferrari backed his teammate into the Mercedes drivers.

With Hamilton quicker than Valtteri Bottas but bottled up behind his teammate, the Mercedes pit wall decided to swap its drivers and let Hamilton attack Raikkönen in the final 20 laps.

Lewis Hamilton romps to Silverstone win, Sebastian Vettel seventh
Silverstone          [16 July 2017]



Lewis Hamilton turned in a dominant performance to win a record-equalling fifth British Grand Prix and cut Sebastian Vettel's championship lead to one point on Sunday.

Hamilton's fourth consecutive victory at Silverstone never looked in doubt after he started the race from pole position and led every single lap on his way to the chequered flag. But while the Mercedes driver made it look easy at the front, the drama kicked off behind as both Kimi Raikkönen in second and Vettel in fourth suffered front-left tyre delaminations in the last three laps.

Raikkönen's saw him lose one position to Bottas before pitting and returning to the track in third, while Vettel's occured earlier in the lap and dropped him from fourth to seventh as he pitted at the end of the penultimate lap.

Valtteri Bottas holds off Sebastian Vettel to win in Austria
Spielberg          [9 July 2017]



Valtteri Bottas held off a late charge from Sebastian Vettel to win the Austrian Grand Prix by just 0.6s, while Daniel Ricciardo pipped Lewis Hamilton to the final spot on the podium in third.

The first 68 laps had been a drab affair, but the race came to life in the closing stages as Bottas' lead came under threat from Vettel.

The championship leader was within DRS range for the final two laps, but Bottas managed to resist the pressure and keep the lead -- which he had held for all but a handful of laps after his only pit stop.
