Lewis Hamilton claimed his first victory of the year at the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton qualified up front for the first time this year and, as the race started, he quickly jumped into the lead then out ran the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen to take the win. Mark Webber came home in third and continues to chip away at the points lead which is still in the hands of Jenson Button. The weekend was highlighted by a horrible qualifying accident which saw Ferrari driver Felipe Massa suffering a head injury that will take him out of the championship for the year. All of our thoughts and prayers go out to Massa, his family and the Ferrari team. Valencia, Spain in August is the next stop for the F1 teams.
