Disaster for McLaren

The Hungarian GP did no favors for McLaren as a gearbox failure caused Lewis Hamilton to retire from the race and drop to 2nd place in the Drivers Championship. Mark Webber returns to the top spot after winning his 4th race this season. With Jenson Button finishing 9th and Sebasian Vettel finishing 3rd - could've been 2nd if not for the penalty he incurred late in the race - Red Bull Racing also edge past McLaren in the Constructor's Championship.

Up next: the Belgian Grand Prix. McLaren have three weeks to sort things out. Especially now that Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa of Ferrari are starting to peak.
