Ferrari team principle Maurizio Arrivabene insists that Mercedes are still the team to beat this season.

Sebastian Vettel showed consistent pace at the Hungarian Grand Prix to win his second race of the season, beating the Mercedes pair convincingly even before the late drama.

However, Arrivabene has played down suggestions that his team are about to make a consistent challenge to the front runners.

He said: "At the beginning of the season it [the gap to Mercedes] was quite big. Then we were able to nearly catch up.

"We continued our development but they also developed their car, so they also fly away again. This story of the season is going to be this one.

"They are the strongest team. I recognise that. I think sometimes we are able to catch them up, to win races like here and in Malaysia, or sometimes they fly away.

"This is the story of this year, it is down to us and our data, but we are in the right direction."
