Mercedes led more laps of the Hungarian Grand Prix than the rest of the season combined – but it was a red-letter day for Max Verstappen who started 10th but survived a spin to secure one of his most impressive wins of the season ahead of the charging Lewis Hamilton.
A shower on the last lap threatened to spoil his party, but the Dutchman tiptoed around the track to take the chequered flag despite Hamilton's best efforts. But it was still a superb drive from the seven-time world champion, who took the fastest lap after starting seventh while pole-sitter George Russell had to settle for third.
As for Ferrari, it was another wretched day as both drivers failed to challenge for the podium. Charles Leclerc in particular had his race ruined by another tactical blunder, as they switched him on to hard tyres which he could not get working and it cost him a top-three finish.
