Hamilton not as safe as he looks

Lewis Hamilton dominated the timesheets during Friday practice for the Hungarian GP, but GARY ANDERSON and EDD STRAW analyse the data and reveal that Nico Rosberg has a secret weapon

The Hungaroring is Lewis Hamilton's circuit. He's won there four times in seven attempts and, after outpacing Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in both of Friday's practice sessions, surely only a car problem or bad luck can prevent him from going into the August break with another victory.

That's what the conventional wisdom says, but Friday practice painted a slightly different picture. Yes, Hamilton was the pacesetter over a single lap, more than two-tenths faster than Rosberg, but actually there is every sign that the German can give him a serious run for his money.
