Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle believes Lewis Hamilton cannot yet be counted out of the fight for the World Championship - although suspects Mercedes' lack of running at the Young Driver Test will hurt the team's chances.
Hamilton's current mindset is also likely to be scrutinised further in Hungary amid ongoing tabloid reports about his private life following his recent break-up with Nicole Scherzinger. Brundle added: "He needs to find a way pretty soon to be able to package that up and be able to manage his private life and make sure he's maximising his racing life. "He's made a great decision it seems in going to Mercedes-Benz, I think they'll be strong again in 2014, so he's done some things that are proving to be very smart. Let's hope it stays that way."
