Max Verstappen won the Hungarian Grand Prix, with an immense run from 10th on the grid. He and his Red Bull team pulled off an absolute show at the Hungaroring as Ferrari were found wanting again. Moreover, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell also put up a great fight.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz floundering in sixth and fourth after what had been an excellent chance to claim victory and claw back points to the Dutchman. Sergio Pérez was fifth for Red Bull.
This was Verstappen’s 28th win in his first in Hungary and his eighth in the season from 13 races, nine more are still to go. His lead over Leclerc in the championship which was already formidable is now a chasm.
Verstappen led from Russell, Sainz and Hamilton but Ferrari were facing nothing but a bad day as Hamilton passed Sainz on lap 63. Verstappen closed out for the win and Mercedes had a mighty double podium finish, while Ferrari squandered another chance.
Although, the Dutch won despite a major spin mid-race charging to victory over a Ferrari that had been very quick here all weekend.
