Mercedes have confirmed that Lewis Hamilton is with the team doctor after feeling unwell following the Hungarian Grand Prix. A statement on the Silver Arrows' social media explained that the British driver has been experiencing fatigue and mild dizziness. Hamilton had a busy race at the Hungaroring. After starting from pole, the seven-times World Champion managed to avoid the opening lap chaos at Turn 1 which saw several drivers eliminated. The race was red-flagged and, whilst he slipped down the order, he managed to work his way back up through the field to eventually finish in third. Here's wishing Hamilton a speedy recovery.
