Max Verstappen claimed an unlikely victory from 10th on the grid at the HungarianGP capitalising on a strategic nightmare from Ferrari Report ⬇️ F1
Key to Verstappen’s victory charge was the ease and speed at which he carved his way through the field, aided by a great strategy from his Red Bull team.
Leclerc struggled for grip and pace in the cool conditions and with the constant threat of rain in the air, leaving him vulnerable to the charging Verstappen, who dived down the inside of his main rival at Turn 1 on Lap 41.and Hamilton made their second pit stops but almost threw away the win with a rare error as he completed a full 360 spin coming out of the penultimate corner.
From there, Verstappen pulled clear out front as Hamilton ran an alternative strategy and used his soft tyres to charge past Sainz and Russell on his way to securing his fifth consecutive podium and equal his best result of the season. But Ferrari remarkably managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by snookering themselves in terms of strategy and putting Leclerc on a tyre compound no driver had successfully managed to make work.
