Daniel Ricciardo captured the chequered flag for the second time this season at the end of an astonishing Hungarian grand prix yesterday afternoon.

Rain, crashes and safety cars made for a stunning race, aiding the previously forlorn Lewis Hamilton following his fire in qualifying on Saturday into another podium finish for the second successive Sunday from a seemingly hopeless position.

Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso secured second for his best result for 10 months, with Hamilton hanging on to third by the skin of his teeth ahead of his charging Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.
