The focus in Hungary will be on the rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen after the two title protagonists spectacularly collided during the British Grand Prix a fortnight ago.
The incident, which led to Verstappen’s retirement, has helped close the gap at the top of the standings, with Hamilton now trailing the Dutchman by just eight points.
While Verstappen has been the more successful of the two drivers this season, the Mercedes driver has a stronger track record at the Hungaroring, with eight victories in 14 appearances.
Red Bull has scored only one victory in the country in the V6 hybrid era, courtesy of Daniel Ricciardo’s success in the 2014 edition of the race. But given the Milton Keynes-based team’s result this year, and the track layout, it is the absolute favourite going into the weekend.
