BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Lewis Hamilton has played down the chances of an exciting Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, saying overheating tyres will limit overtaking opportunities.
Hamilton was fifth fastest in Friday practice at Hungary and it looks as though Ferrari and Red Bull have the edge over Mercedes this weekend. But after two exciting races in Great Britain and Germany in the last three weeks, Hamilton thinks the tyres will limit the chances of overtaking in a dry race on Sunday.
"Yeah it's the temperature," he said. "And it's the type of track it is, it's just corner after corner after corner, so there's no time for the tyres to cool down.
