It wasn’t a perfect weekend for Max Verstappen. But it was a perfect race, serving as another reminder of the greatness F1 is currently watching unfold week after week. LukeSmithF1 analyzes the dominance:

the podium in HungaryIn his left hand was an empty bottle of Ferrari Trento sparkling wine, the contents of which had been discarded over fellow podium finishers Lando Norris and Sergio Pérez, as well as the Red Bull team celebrating beneath the rostrum.Tucked under his right arm, Verstappen carried his winner’s trophy — a porcelain jug, regarded as one of the most beautiful trophies in F1 — that was now in two pieces.

Norris wryly said he wasn’t sure what happened when asked about it in the press conference. “Max just placed it too close to the edge!” he joked. Verstappen laughed it off, replying: “I’m going to take it off next time to protect it!” It wasn’t a perfect weekend for Verstappen. But it was a perfect race, serving as another reminder of the greatness F1 is currently watching unfold week after week.What made the level of Verstappen’s domination so surprising was that it followed a difficult qualifying on Saturday, when he was beaten to pole position by old rival Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen said the balance on his Red Bull RB19 car felt “terrible” through Saturday, which contributed to him losing pole by just 0.

: If something’s off, he’ll know. “If the car’s not right, he’s not just going to sit there and not say anything,” said Monaghan. “That’s not his style.”The Hungaroring requires a very different car balance between qualifying and the race, particularly in higher temperatures and over longer stints when the tires are pushed to the limit. This track is corner after corner with only a few short straights, offering little respite to either the car or the driver.
