Ricciardo wins second Grand Prix in drenched Hungary

Australian Daniel Ricciardo charged to a thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix victory on Sunday, his second Formula One win for Red Bull, as a drenched track caused chaos among world championship leaders. Rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes team-mate and championship leader Nico Rosberg reached a new peak as Hamilton rebuffed team orders to let Rosberg by into third place.
Mercedes said it would hold a team inquiry. But Hamilton's success trimmed Rosberg's lead in the title race from 14 points to 11. The German now leads with 202, Hamilton has 191 and Ricciardo is third with 131.
Ricciardo, 25, held off Ferrari's Fernando Alonso to take first place in a race which saw several high-speed crashes after a heavy downpour just before the start changed the course of the race.
Ricciardo led twice before he fought back to recapture the lead with three laps remaining, following a series of daring passes.
Ricciardo's win was executed with great elan and confirmed him as a driver with the potential to be a future champion. Ricciardo won the Canadian Grand Prix in June and is the only non-Mercedes driver to have won a race this year.
"This feels just as good as the first one," said Ricciardo. "It was a lot of fun in the last few laps, with the passing. I had to go for it."
Hamilton and Rosberg had a fierce battle on the track and via the Mercedes team radio as they tried to make the most of contrasting strategies in the changeable conditions.
Hamilton started from the pit lane along with rookies Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso, who had stalled on the formation grid, and Dane Kevin Magnussen, who crashed his McLaren in qualifying. Hamilton was running with cold brakes in a car rebuilt overnight following the blaze, caused by a fuel leak.
Pushing to make up places, he spun on his opening lap and brushed the barriers at Turn Two. "My front left hit the wall. The brakes just gave up," said Hamilton.
Another crash, when Swedish rookie Marcus Ericsson lost control of his Caterham, on lap eight brought out the Safety Car.
Jenson Button in a McLaren took the lead for a while but as the conditions changed he had to pit. This put Ricciardo back on top again.
Hamilton, sensibly, had pitted and was soon back up to ninth, within two cars of Rosberg, as the field, shuffled heavily by the rain and the Safety Car, began to settle again.
