Max Verstappen credits Red Bull strategist with Hungary win in sly dig at Ferrari

The Dutchman drove from 10th place on the grid to win the race quite comfortably, with Lewis Hamilton his nearest challenger. For Ferrari, however, it was another weekend to forget as their latest strategy shocker cost Charles Leclerc the chance to compete for the victory.
