Max Verstappen certainly hasn’t minced his words in the aftermath of another disappointing race at the Hungarian Grand Prix over the weekend. After colliding with Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bull man finished down in fifth.

It was the third race in a row in which Verstappen, who has utterly dominated F1 over the last few years, has not triumphed. Oscar Piastri claimed his maiden win ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

For Red Bull, there was further short-term misery as under-fire Sergio Perez could only muster up a seventh-placed finish. And Verstappen was far from happy as he reacted to a miserable afternoon for his team.

But all eyes are now on the Belgian Grand Prix this coming weekend, as the F1 paddock prepares for its last race before the mid-season summer break – with action not to get going again until the Dutch GP at the end of August.

Verstappen will be desperate to end this period on a high and re-establish his dominance with a whole host of teams catching up, including McLaren and Mercedes, who have been buoyed by the recent performance of Lewis Hamilton.

The seven-time world champion has found himself back in contention for race wins again, winning the British GP, and will be hopeful of more success come Sunday afternoon.
