Nico Rosberg left Hungary trailing in the Formula 1 World Championship for the first time this season . Losing to his teammate at Hungaroring has turned the title fight on its head and the momentum swung away from him . On the plus side for the Mercedes driver is the fact that he was able to keep Hamilton in his sights , but the nature of the track has never not allowed for overtaking without much duress . Rosberg spoke about his afternoon of hard graft at the Hungarian Grand Prix , which saw him start from pole position but end up second in the race .
