19 July 2020 The Hungarian GP sees yet another triumph for Mercedes and Hamilton, which captures the 86th success in his career and the second of the season, jumping to the top of the drivers' standings. Verstappen on Red Bull and Bottas on the other Mercedes also on the podium. 

Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes in front of teammate Valtteri Bottas and the Racing Points of Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez starts from pole position. In the third row the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc.  

A twist just 20 minutes from the start. During the reconnaissance laps before positioning on the starting grid, Max Verstappen lost control of his Red Bull on the wet asphalt and then ended up against the barriers. Fast-paced work of the mechanics who manage to send him to the race. 

Good start for the Mercedes of Hamilton that takes the head. Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari gained a position in front of his teammate Charles Leclerc and behind Max Verstappen's Red Bull. Badly the Mercedes of Bottas who finishes eighth and goes into the pit. After 4 laps Hamilton in the pits to mount the slicks, like him also Stroll, Perez, Vettel, Albon, Latifi. Bottas recovers and the Ferraris drop. On the eighth lap wheel between Bottas and Leclerc who defends the position, but for a short time, because the Finn passes on the 10th lap at the bottom of the finish straight. 

Hamilton leads the race solo, followed by Verstappen's Red Bull. Meanwhile, Vettel slips into ninth position. On the 16th lap duel between Leclerc and Albon's Red Bull for seventh position and after a lap Albon got the better of leaving the Leclerc and Vettel Ferraris in eighth and ninth place. Verstappen, Stroll (Racing Point) and Bottas compete head-on, taking Hamilton's supremacy for granted. Behind them a widely spaced unedited Magnussen (Haas) in fifth place.

Hamilton's advantage is abysmal. On lap 21 Leclerc goes into the pit and tries to use hard rubber. As expected, the emotions come from the three pursuers. In particular Bottas engages a long duel (later won) with Stroll for the third position. Fans of the 'Cavallino' have to settle for the close duel between Leclerc and Lando Norris for the 13th position while on the 33rd lap Vettel sets the best time but is only ninth. The German also has hard tires and climbs to seventh place behind Sainz, given that Magnussen's Haas lags behind after making the first tire change. Good race behavior of Vettel who on lap 43 is sixth and chases Ricciardo who must then stop for the pit allowing the Ferrari driver to get in line at Stroll. Bottas rings fast laps and targets Verstappen while Hamilton comes to round Albon and Verstappen does the same with Leclerc. Verstappen resists the Mercedes assault.

Cannibal Hamilton: three laps from the end he goes to the pits and rides the reds to snatch the fast lap from his teammate, while Albon's Red Bull manages to parade the fifth place at Vettel's Ferrari also voiced by Hamilton. The end lives from the duel between Bottas and Verstappen but the Dutchman resists, while Hamilton completes the triumph with the fastest lap. Vettel closes sixth, Leclerc eleventh.
