• Second pit stop helps Mercedes overhaul Red Bull
After the disappointment and disarray of Hockenheim last week under aptly foreboding grey skies, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes enjoyed a remarkable, redemptive comeback at the Hungarian Grand Prix. This time – in the natural amphitheatre of the Hungaroring – sunshine, driver and team all burned brightly, with the latter’s stagecraft magnificent to behold as Hamilton beat Red Bull’s Max Verstappen into second place.
The race was gripping, tense and almost impossible to call until the final laps and even Hamilton had doubted whether he could pull it off but when the world champion and Mercedes are this good they are simply irrepressible.
