Having secured the pole position for the first time in his career, Max Verstappen seemed like a certain victor of the Hungarian Grand Prix, but F1 racing once more proved that anything can happen on the race tracks. Hungaroring hosted one of the most nerve wrenching races so far this year with many drivers showing unbelievable skill and determination to claim the trophy of the race.
Starting first, 21-year-old Verstappen dominated during most of the race and managed to hold the first place despite aggressive attempts by Lewis Hamilton to take the leading spot. But towards the end of the race, a gamble with the tires gave Hamilton the chance to beat Verstappen and finish in first place. The brilliant Mercedes driver won the race with a time of 1:35:03.796 and Verstappen finished second with +17.796s behind the champion.
The third and fourth places were secured by the two Ferrari Drivers with Sebastian Vettel in third and Charles Leclerc in fourth. Finally, it’s worth mentioning that Carlos Sainz Jr. showed great driving skills and had an amazing performance at the race, ending in fifth place.
