Sebastian Vettel wins in Hungary

Hungarian Grand prix in one word was frantic. It was action packed from the start till finish. The FIA were hesitant in giving any penalties either.  Four time world champion claimed his second win for Ferrari and his 41st career win(drawing him level with Ayrton senna). He led the race from start to finish , keeping his head and feet down.  Both Ferrari's had blazing starts overtaking both the Mercedes. What had looked a 1-2 finish for Ferrari went down the drain when Kimi Raikkonen had a problem with the MGU-K and thereby had to retire the car .Ferrari had a target of 2 wins for the season and they have been able to achieve it within the first of the season.

The time I visited Museo Ferrari and RedBull Hangar 7

    Few months ago I got to visit the Redbull Hangar 7 in Salzburg and Museo Ferrari, Maranello. Here are a few pictures from my visit. To be honest Ferrari and Redbull are my two favorite teams so being able to see these two places was simply amazing.  The Redbull Hangar 7 had lots of F1 cars including those driven by Sebastian Vettel , Mark Webber , Kimi raikkonen , David Coulthard , Nigel Mansell and so on . Not only was there a collection of F1 cars but also an amazing set of planes including fighter jets , old war planes , the redbull race planes etc. The Hangar is completely made of glass so there is a 360 degree view of the external surroundings.
