Timo Glock finished ahead of team-mate Lucas Di Grassi in an uneventful day at the Hungaoring - Di Grassi's hopes of doing even better being hampered by a bad pitstop and tyre problems.

Said Virgin Technical Director Nick Wirth: "“The results don’t lie and the combination of getting boxed in at the start, plus a pitstop problem effectively put us behind and once there, the nature of this track plus the blue flags meant that any possibility of finishing higher was over after the safety car.

"Still, we leave with a lot of positive feelings - we are clearly performing at a good level now and the fact that we ended qualifying and the race with clearly the fastest laps of the new teams and a solid and reliable two-car finish gives us a good platform for the next phase of the season, where we must continue this trend of improving performance”
