Sebastian Vettel had his first small setback of the season in Germany. The reigning world champion didn't expand his lead for the first time this season. He thinks that the upcoming Grand Prix at the Hungaroring will be tough. "The Hungarian GP is one of the hardest for the drivers. It can get very hot in the cockpit due to the high-temperatures, which means we lose a lot of body fluid during the race. There are a lot of bumps on the track, which means you can get shaken up a bit and, because the track has hardly any straights, you have almost no chance to 'rest' – that's what makes the Hungarian Grand Prix so exhausting."

Vettel says that it's generally hard to overtake in Hungary: "There are three extremely slow corners and it's pretty hard to overtake there, while on the start and finish lines we reach a top speed of 315kph. We get a good shaking through the first corner due to the bumps; it's the only place where you can really overtake, so long as you come out of the last corner well and get in the slipstream of the car in front. The last two corners are important, because you have to prepare for a potential overtaking manoeuvre. In the last corner, you have to wait, wait, wait... then you can drive over the kerbs and go full throttle."

Last year Sebastian Vettel finished third in Hungary.
