Former Super Aguri driver Franck Montagny admitted that he found the Hungarian Grand Prix "boring".
The Frenchman, who also had stints testing for Renault and Toyota said that the race was over by the first corner, and that he expected Nico Rosberg would do more to defend his pole position.
"Unfortunately this race was very boring," the ex-Formula E racer told the French newspaper Le Point. "I hope we don't see many other Grands Prix like this, with very few surprises."
"I would have expected, given the way he took pole position, that the German would defend a little more," he continued. "One then had the impression that Hamilton played with Rosberg throughout the race."
"It's almost like he (Hamilton) needed a challenge to demonstrate that he could return to the highest level," said Montagny, referring to the fact that Hamilton took the lead of the world championship for the first time in 2016.
Montagny also admitted that the race confirmed Ferrari's slump behind Red Bull, but blamed the media for most of their problems.
"It's not going well," he said, "and more importantly is that they look completely lost. I think the biggest problem for them is the constant pressure from the Italian press."

It was definitely not one of the best races this year.
