Hulkenberg sure Force India can fix car issues in F1 Hungarian GP

The German hit the barriers at Turn 1 when his front wing failed at high speed and it was the team's second big accident of the weekend after Sergio Perez rolled in practice following a suspension failure.

Force India believes both failures were caused by big vibrations from riding over the Hungaroring kerbs for too long.

Hulkenberg, who was on course to score points, said he was confident the team could solve the problems before the next race at Spa at the end of August.

"It's two different issues we had over the weekend and it's not good," he said.

"I'm sure the team will work hard on how to understand it and get some fixings in place.

"I've no doubt our boys will fix it come Spa. We have some time to analyse and fix it.

"The situation is what it is and we just have to deal with it as best we can."

Despite following up a run of two consecutive double-points finishes with a double retirement in Hungary, Force India retained fifth place in the constructors' championship.

And Hulkenberg remains hopeful the team can be competitive in the second-half of the season.

"I go on holiday with the feeling the second half of the season is going to be very good because we've improved the car significantly," he said.

"I really enjoy driving the car and we are competitive.

"In Budapest we were battling with Williams and Red Bull, which is really, really good.

"I'm enjoying myself at the moment and I'm looking forward to the second half of the season."
