Hungary GP - "sorry I doubted that strategy"

After the race in Germany, Hungary was always going to disappoint but we got off to a promising start with Verstappen claiming his first pole.

As I was in London, I was watching the highlights, which I find confusing as time speeds up and slows down.  Before I knew it, it was half way through the race and Verstappen and Hamilton were having a great battle.

On lap 40, Vettel had a poor pit stop, no change to his position though, so not really exciting.

With six laps to go, Verstappen radioed to his team that: "the tyres are dead".  He'd led the whole race and then DRS gave it to Hamilton.

The main debate was over whether to do one or two stops.  And that was only about the Red Bulls and the Mercedes...we barely saw the Ferraris.

Still Verstappen was happy with P2...sigh.
