Max Verstappen will be confident of winning the
Hungarian Grand Prix for the second time and boosting his Formula One world championship ambitions.
Most recent race
The Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT driver was in his element at the British Grand Prix on July 9 - making it six successive victories this season.
Verstappen started on P1 on the grid and he displayed his dominance as he kept the lead until the end with numerous battles occurring behind him.
Formula One title ambitions
The Belgian-Dutch racing driver is placed at the top of the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 255 points from 10 races.
Verstappen is 99 points clear of second-placed Sergio Perez as the Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT duo goes head-to-head for the 2023 Formula One World title.
Why Verstappen could win the 2023 Hungarian GP
The reigning Formula One world champion will be confident of winning the Hungarian Grand Prix once again and making it seven wins in a row this season.
Verstappen has impressively clinched Miami Grand Prix, Monaco Grand Prix, Spanish Grand Prix, Canadian Grand Prix, Austrian Grand Prix and British Grand Prix in that order.
What did he say?
“We had a terrible start, so we need to look into why that was. Even after that, I think especially Lando [Norris], both McLaren’s were super quick. It took a few laps to pass them," Verstappen said after the 2023 British Grand Prix.
“Then at one point, I could ease out the gap and I think everything looked quite alright again. Then again, after the safety car on the softest compound around here, was a little bit more tricky for us to keep them alive basically.
“So, the gap stayed a bit around three, three and a half seconds. Of course, very happy that we won again, and I mean, 11 wins in a row for the team, I think that’s pretty incredible. But it wasn’t straightforward today.”
