Max Verstappen stormed to victory over Lando Norris and Sergio Perez with another commanding performance in the Hungarian Grand Prix, giving the reigning double world champion his seventh straight triumph and the Red Bull their 12th in a row – beating McLaren’s long-standing record.
By Lap 15, Verstappen was more than five seconds clear of Piastri, with Norris a couple of seconds further back, as Hamilton remained fourth from the Ferraris of Leclerc and Sainz, who began to come under pressure from the hard-shod Perez.
Ultimately, Charles Leclerc crossed the line in sixth position but dropped behind the other Mercedes of Russell – who battled his way from 18th – after the checkered flag when a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane was applied, with Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz coming home eighth (Formula1.)
