Hungarian Grand Prix start
Lewis Hamilton, who was on pole, dropped to fourth at the start

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.
