Red Bull’s Formula One championship leader MaxVerstappen won the Hungarian Grand Prix from 10th on the starting grid on Sunday as Ferrari rival CharlesLeclerc suffered another strategy nightmare.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton finished second for Mercedes with teammate George Russell, on pole position for the first time, third in a repeat of the previous race in France.
“That is right up there with your best,” said team boss Christian Horner. Unbelievable, best way to go into the summer break and it doesn’t feel anything like summer today, I tell you,” he added, with raindrops falling as the race ended. “We would have had the pace to win if we hadn’t had that DRS issue,” the Briton told his team over the radio after taking the chequered flag and banking an extra point for fastest lap.Hamilton had bolted on a set of softs for the last 18 laps and passed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Russell before setting off in pursuit of Verstappen, who was ultimately too far down the road.
