The Hungarian Grand Prix marked another victory for the Verstappen\/Red Bull team. This latest victory, the twelfth in a row including the last Grand Prix of 2022, brings the total number of consecutive wins for the Austrian team to twelve, a new record in the top category.<\/p>\n

An impressive and unprecedented series, that even McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes at their finest hours have not been able to achieve.<\/p>\n
\nRED BULL HAVE MADE FORMULA 1 HISTORY <\/p>\n
Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez together with Red Bull now hold the record for the most consecutive wins, a record which stood for 35 years \ud83e\udd2f#HungarianGP<\/a> #F1<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/svLNJbowDL<\/a><\/p>\n

For the second consecutive time (a first in his career), Lando Norris finished on the podium of the Grand Prix in a very impressive second place. Showing impressive control during the race, the British driver however made a splash on the podium… by breaking Verstappen’s trophy while shaking his Champagne bottle! An image that never gets old!<\/p>\n

After a brilliant qualification in 5th and 7th position, a lot was expected from Alfa Romeo in this race. Unfortunately, hopes went up in smoke right from the start after Guanyu Zhou’s failed takeoff, which caused the pile-up at the start by rear-ending Ricciardo and taking out both Alpines.<\/p>\n
Himself having made a similar blunder on the same track in the past, the Finnish driver offered a small piece of advice to his young teammate, as shared by this internet user…<\/p>\n
– “So, here’s the tutorial on how to make a great start at the Hungarian GP. Well, bro, you won’t have the rain to help you this year but no worries. The key is to rely on a car in front of you and boom, done deal” #F1 #HungarianGP #Humour [link to tweet]\n

This Grand Prix also marked Lewis Hamilton’s return to business. Indeed, the British driver secured his 104th pole position of his career on Saturday, edging out Verstappen by… 3 thousandths of a second! Over a year and a half since his last pole position, the seven-time world champion can savor his triumph, which also makes him the record holder for the most pole positions on a single circuit (9).<\/p>\n

This Hungarian Grand Prix in 2023 also marked Williams’ 800th Grand Prix in the premier category. Although the British team had a rather discreet performance at the Hungaroring, this statistic is worth mentioning.<\/p>\n

Already seen at Silverstone, the filming of the Formula 1 movie “Apex” continued in Hungary this weekend to the delight of film enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Finally, how can we not mention the other event of the weekend, namely Daniel Ricciardo’s return to competition. For his big comeback, the Australian had a decent performance, outperforming his teammate Tsunoda in both qualifying and the race, even with a damaged car from the first lap due to Zhou. We are eagerly awaiting what’s next!<\/p>\n

We end with a sarcastic tweet about the lack of luck of the two Alpine drivers, eliminated in the first round.<\/p>\n
\nWon’t go past 2 rounds.
