Hungarian Grand Prix 2015 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Sebastian Vettel produced a strategic masterclass to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, defeating Daniel Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo in a race of high attrition and drama. Vettel's victory came through Ferrari's aggressive strategy and his exceptional driving in changing conditions, as rain threatened throughout and multiple drivers struggled. The triumph was particularly impressive as both Mercedes drivers encountered problems, with Hamilton starting from the pit lane and Rosberg retiring, allowing Vettel to capitalize brilliantly.

The race featured intense battles and strategic gambles as teams navigated threatening weather and tire management challenges. Red Bull secured a surprise double podium with Kvyat second and Ricciardo third, their best result of 2015 and a welcome boost after a difficult season. Vettel's victory demonstrated Ferrari's ability to seize opportunities when Mercedes faltered, showing the strategic acumen that made Ferrari dangerous when circumstances suited them.

Vettel's Hungarian triumph was his third victory of 2015 and Ferrari's strongest performance of the campaign. The win kept Ferrari's championship hopes mathematically alive and demonstrated that Mercedes weren't invincible when faced with tricky conditions or strategic challenges. For Vettel, the victory confirmed his move to Ferrari was justified, giving the tifosi hope that their team could challenge for championships with the four-time champion leading their charge.
