In an unexp
ected turn of events, Webber finished on top ahead of Fernando Alonso and his teammate Sebastian Vettel in Sunday's Hungarian Gran Prix. A drive-through penalty to Vettel, due to safety-car infrigement, helped clinched Mark's victory. Vettel was pretty much set for victory as his car was faster than everyone else before the safety-car was deployed, to clear some debris off the track, although he was still on pace for a victory because Webber still had to make a pit stop. Unfortunately, Vettel lost his track position to Alonso due to the penalty. That event then allowed Webber to create enough gap to still come out on first position after his mandatory pit stop. Vettel fought Alonso through of the end race but was not able to come close enough.

news, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton was unable to finish the race due to transmission problem and Jenson only managing to finish in 8th place. Lewis surrendered the Driver's lead to Webber as well as the Constructor's lead. It was an unfortunate weekend for McLaren heading into the break. They seemed to have fallen behind the Red Bull and Ferrari in terms of car development. For McLaren to be able to fight back in the both championships, they must be able to come up with better developments. Their blown diffusers clearly has not been working well as they have hoped for. Heading into the British Grand Prix , the team have been very optimistic regarding their development and that it could bring them closer to the Red Bulls but it has been the other way around since then. They abandoned it during the British Grand Prix. Three races have passed yet there is no significant improvement at all. In a more surprising turn of events, Ferrari has overtaken them and is now poised to challenge the Red Bulls and are clearly the 2nd fastest team out there.

There are only 7 more races to go and every point is crucial right now. It is a big challenge for them to fight back in the championships. They have the drivers that can deliver but can the team deliver them the car to win both championships? That hasn't been the case for the past 4 races.
Last night's race sure was disappointing to watch. But Webber sure is starting to grow in me.. Lol.
