It was all going perfectly for Sebastian Vettel at the Hungarian Grand Prix until the safety car made an appearance. Seb explains all in his blog…
‘We had a really good race and scored a lot of important points for the team, but it could have been more – and due to a mistake I made, we weren't able to get them.
This is what happened: I thought the safety car would stay out for one more lap and that’s why I left such a big gap.
To make matters worse, I lost contact with team radio. I was waiting for a message to tell me when the safety car was coming off, but nothing came.
So I didn't really know why I got the drive-through penalty, which was pretty irritating. After I did the drive-through, I got stuck behind Fernando (Alonso). Even though I was faster than him, I couldn't overtake because the Hungaroring doesn't have many overtaking spots.
But all in all, it will all be forgotten by tomorrow. If you look back, we proved how strong we are and it could look very different after another two or three races. Our car is the fastest and I have total faith in the team and my abilities.
For now, we're all going to relax and I am going to write you guys again from Spa in three weeks’ time. Have an amazing summer!’
