Michael Schumacher has admitted that his blocking of Rubens Barrichello in Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix was “too hard”. Schumacher almost edged Barrichello into the pit wall as he tried in vain to stop his former team mate passing him for P10 late in the race.

In post-race interviews the Mercedes driver suggested his tactics had been harsh but fair. However, having received a 10-place grid penalty for the next round from the Budapest stewards – and having had a day to reflect – Schumacher has now conceded that he overstepped the mark…

Disappointment was written all over Sebastian Vettel’s face as he received his third place trophy on the Budapest podium. It should have been his race, but the Red Bull driver could not reap the rewards from his prior dominance of the weekend. He may have been angry at the time, but Vettel is not one to dwell on what might have been, and after a few days relaxing at home he’ll be concentrating on the next round at Spa…

The Hungarian Grand Prix not only put a victorious Mark Webber firmly back in the championship race, it left fans with the tantalising prospect of a genuine five-way fight for the title over the season’s final seven rounds, with just 20 points covering the leading contenders.

Red Bull’s Budapest pace might suggest they’re favourites, but the RB6 is unlikely to be so perfectly suited to the remaining tracks…

1st Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1h41m05.571s; 2nd Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 1h41m23.392s; 3rd Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 1h41m24.823s.

Q: Mark, a commanding win by the end of 70 laps. But it was probably the 43 you managed in your first stint that really set it up.
Mark Webber: Yeah, that’s right. The start we always knew was going to be a little bit tricky on that side. Fernando got a good start…

Red Bull’s Mark Webber is looking forward to some relaxation in Formula One’s traditional summer break, spending some time with his dogs and avoiding planes and hotel rooms. And what better way to start that break than by winning your 150th Grand Prix and seeing yourself and your team take the lead in the championship standings…

Mercedes GP’s Michael Schumacher has been penalised by the Hungarian Grand Prix stewards for his clash with Williams’ Rubens Barrichello in the closing laps of Sunday’s Budapest race. Schumacher has been handed a 10-place grid penalty for the next round in Belgium…

The Renault and Mercedes GP teams have each been fined $50,000 by the FIA for pit-stop mistakes during Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Renault’s Robert Kubica was unsafely released from his stop into the path of Force India’s Adrian Sutil. Kubica and Sutil collided as a result and Sutil was forced to retire immediately. Kubica continued and was handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty before also retiring with accident damage…

Renault’s Robert Kubica and Force India’s Adrian Sutil on their pit-lane collision; Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel on his drive-through penalty; Williams’ Rubens Barrichello and Mercedes GP’s Michael Schumacher on their close encounter; and Mark Webber on taking his fourth win of the season in Red Bull’s 100th Grand Prix. All 24 drivers, and senior team personnel, report back on Sunday’s race…

A drive-through penalty for his team mate helped seal an unexpected, but well-deserved win for Red Bull’s Mark Webber in Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel took third following his safety-car rule infringement, behind Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso.

With McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton failing to finish and team mate Jenson Button only eighth, Webber heads the standings going into the summer break…

After a race that took three attempts to start, Venezuela’s Pastor Maldonado extended his GP2 Series lead for Rapax on Saturday with a crushing fifth victory of the season. He led home Racing Engineering’s Christian Vietoris and Barwa Addax’s Sergio Perez…
