Max Verstappen, the formidable leader in the Formula One driver's championship, showcased his mastery and racing prowess at the Hungarian Grand Prix, claiming a resounding victory for his team, Red Bull. The race, held on a thrilling Sunday, etched its place in history as Red Bull achieved an unprecedented feat, securing an astonishing 12th consecutive triumph.
Verstappen made a better start than poleman Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), who lost further spots to both McLarens of Oscar Piastri, who profited from hugging the inside of Turn 1, and Lando Norris, who drove around the outside of him at Turn 2. Norris undercut Piastri for second place at the first round of pitstops, and clung on to the runner-up spot despite a charging drive from the second Red Bull of Sergio Perez, who finished third.
The 12 consecutive victories not only cemented Verstappen's place as a force to be reckoned with but also etched Red Bull's name in the annals of Formula One history. Their remarkable achievement surpassed the previous record of 11 consecutive wins, held by the legendary duo of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna during McLaren's dominant streak in 1988. During the recent race, Mercedes' seven times world champion, Lewis Hamilton, secured the fourth position after starting on pole for the 104th time in his career, the first since 2021. McLaren's Australian rookie, Oscar Piastri, finished fifth. Despite starting in the 18th position, George Russell managed to secure sixth place for Mercedes. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz secured the seventh and eighth positions, respectively.
