Verstappen on top in Hungary as Ferrari implode yet again

Max Verstappen extended his championship lead following a comfortable win in Hungary, holding off a fast charging Lewis Hamilton with George Russell making it yet another double podium for Mercedes. Ferrari's questionable strategy once again cost them a podium and maybe even a win as Carlos Sainz finished fourth ahead of the other Red Bull of Sergio Pérez with Charles Leclerc finishing sixth. McLaren's Lando Norris was seventh ahead of the Alpine pair of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon while Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel finished tenth and took home the final point. Ferrari dropped the ball once again as the once-race leader Charles Leclerc who was looking set for a win came in for a question switch to the hard compound which effectively dropped him out of contention for the win and a sixth place finish has put him further back in the championship battle. Starting 10th and 11th, a win and fifth also see Red Bull further extend their lead in the constructors' championship as well.
