The second half of the season will see a return to classic tracks like Spa & Monza, and F1 will return to Singapore and Japan after a gap of three years. Will we see a new winner in the second half? Can Mercedes make it to the top step of the podium? And who will claim P2 in the championship?

Highlights From The Hungaroring
George Russell's maiden pole, Carlos Sainz starting P2, Charles LeClerc in P3 and Max Verstappen all the way down in P10 due to a loss of power in his RedBull in Q3! The race promised to be thrilling, and the championship fight was on!
But Sunday proved otherwise, with Max charging across the grid to claim his eighth win of the season, and cementing an eighty point lead over Charles in the championship. Ferrari suffered with slow pitstops, and a mind-boggling Hard Tyre call that handed the win to Max, and left both their drivers off the podium.
The gainers in Hungary though were Mercedes who finished 2-3 on the podium for the second race in a row, and are now only 30 points behind Ferrari.
The second half of the season will bring new regulations to combat porpoising coming into place from Spa, announcements on the provisional calendar for 2023, and the final driver lineup, and NINE more races. We can't wait!

A Spielberg Saga
This week, the F1 circus reached Spielberg for the Austrian GP at the Red Bull Ring. The high speed circuit, the second shortest on the calendar, with this seasons second Sprint was an absolute belter!
We saw both Ferraris duke it out in the sprint, with Max running away with the most points in P1. However come the race, Charles kept him honest by overtaking him three times with ease due to high tyre degradation on the Red Bull. Ferrari almost made it a 1-2, however rotten luck caused an engine failure and a DNF for Sainz just as he was about to make his move on Max for P2. Perez tangled with George on lap 1 around the infamous turn 4 and came away with enough damage to retire from the race.
Behind this drama, Mercedes made the most of the situation with Hamilton and Russel P3 and P4, and Haas had another excellent double points finish. Ocon and Alonso had another strong showing for Alpine while Daniel Ricciardo struggled a little bit for Mclaren. Listen to us talk about all of this and so much more on this latest episode of Five Lights!
