Lando Norris second, Sergio Pérez thirdLewis Hamilton fourth after starting on pole
Another record tumbled to the march of Max Verstappen and Red Bull at the Hungarian Grand Prix, one of Formula One’s oldest landmarks falling to one of the sport’s most inexorable machines. For the team a rightly celebratory affair but one which at the Hungaroring was, while far from a toil for Red Bull, something of an endurance event to labour through for the neutral.
Verstappen’s win in Budapest was as dominant a display as he has delivered all season. Under the blazing sunshine he emerged after 70 laps with barely a hair out of place, there was no sweat of a shire horse, rather the faint glow of a post lunch constitutional. The victory was Red Bull’s 12 consecutive win since they took the flag at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the end of 2022, surpassing the 35-year-old record held by McLaren of 11 in a row they took in 1988.
