The Hungarian Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen despite a spin that cost him the lead.

Fresh questions about race operations were raised by Verstappen passing Leclerc twice.

George Russell lost out on second place to Lewis Hamilton because of Red Bull's pit strategy.

Carlos Sainz and Leclerc were in the top six.

With nine races remaining, Verstappen has an advantage of 80 points over Leclerc.

The constant threat of rain on a grey, windy and cool day made for a perfect symbol of the season so far.

Verstappen was imperious in moving through the field from his lowly grid position, caused by engine problems, Red Bull solid and aggressive on their strategy, and as they converted second and third on the grid to having neither driver on the podium at the finish.

There is more to come.
