MAX Verstappen’s dominant victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix set a wins record for his Red Bull team.
The Dutchman’s seventh victory in a row and ninth of the season was Red Bull’s 12th consecutive win, dating back to the final race of 2022 in Abu Dhabi.

The achievement broke the record of 11 straight wins set by McLaren with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1988.
McLaren’s Lando Norris fended off a threat from Red Bull’s Sergio Perez to take second place.
Lewis Hamilton, who had started from pole position, closed on Perez in the final laps but was not able to attempt an overtake and had to settle for fourth.

Verstappen’s run of five consecutive pole positions was ended by Hamilton on Saturday, who took his first pole since 2021.
The seven-time champion always felt he would struggle to challenge the Red Bull given its strong race pace, but any hopes Hamilton might have had of mounting a challenge were gone within a few seconds of the start.

A better getaway by the Red Bull driver had Verstappen alongside the Mercedes on the inside on the run to the first corner.
Verstappen claimed the lead as they turned in, and motored away into a race of his own at the front. His win moves him into a 110-point championship lead over Perez.

Hamilton’s attempts to hold on to the lead by squeezing Verstappen tight to the inside cost him two further positions, as the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Norris also passed him and demoted him to fourth place.
Piastri swept around the outside of the corner to take second place ahead of his team-mate, and Norris then passed Hamilton at Turn Two.

But the McLaren drivers’ positions were reversed at the first pit stops when McLaren stopped Norris first and gave him the chance to use his fresh tyres to ‘undercut’ ahead of the Australian.(BBC Sport)
