Hungary Race Review: A Classic Show for Jules

The Formula 1 paddock arrived in Hungary with heavy hearts this weekend following the passing of Jules Bianchi. In homage to the young Frenchman, all teams carried their own tribute to Jules with the FIA having also taking the step to retire car number 17, Jules’ own, as a mark of respect. The drivers put on a fantastic spectacle in his memory also as Vettel took a second Ferrari win of the season with Mercedes missing out on the podium altogether.

What a race, what a tribute.
