Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took a surprise win in a chaotic, dramatic and thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton finished sixth.

Hamilton had a mighty let-off after an error-strewn drive because title rival and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg finished eighth after a late puncture.
The result means Hamilton, in the most unlikely circumstances, extends his lead over Rosberg to 21 points.
Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat took his first career podium in second.
Vettel's victory - his second of the season - came as a huge surprise, and the German dedicated it to French driver Jules Bianchi, who died last Friday and whose funeral Vettel was one of many active F1 drivers to attend on Tuesday.



A minute's silence was held for the former Ferrari reserve driver on the grid before the race and his family attended the event.
Vettel said in French over the radio on his slowing down lap: "Merci, Jules. Cette victoire est pour toi." (Thank you, Jules. This victory is for you).
He added in English: "You will always be in our hearts. We know sooner or later you would have been in this team.".
