Relentless Max Verstappen makes it seven in a row after Hungarian GP victory

Relentless reigning champion Max Verstappen made it seven wins in a row this season after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Victory also meant his Red Bull team secured a record-breaking 12th consecutive Formula One wins, surpassing the feat of McLaren who won 11 races in 1988 courtesy of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.

Verstappen stretched his lead over teammate Sergio Perez – who finished third at the Hungaroring, behind McLaren's Lando Norris in second – to 110 points in the drivers' championship.

Lewis Hamilton set off from pole for the first time in 33 races but a poor start dashed the Mercedes driver's hopes of a 104th career win, with Verstappen and both McLaren drivers moving ahead of him inside the first two bends of Sunday's 70-lap race, and he had to settle for fourth.

“Yeah finally we had a really good start, very happy with that, we’ve been working on that quite a bit to try to get a good bite and yeah I know of course when I had the inside that corner was mine,” said Verstappen.

“It was just late on the brakes you are heavy car so luckily it all worked out well and from there I could do my race and today the car was really, really quick.

“I think over one lap this weekend it was a bit of a struggle but maybe it was probably a good thing for today so, yeah, the car was good on any tyre and we could look after the tyre wear and basically that’s why we could create such a big gap.”

A magnificent seventh victory in a row for @Max33Verstappen
