2020 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix | Lewis Hamilton equals Michael Schumacher's record of most wins at a single track

Max Verstappen has pulled off an incredible turnaround after only just getting to the grid, but even he couldn't stop Lewis Hamilton's insane dominance.

Max Verstappen came out of the start beautifully.

After a chaotic start to the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has won yet again in an absolute canter after another pole to podium domination.

Hamilton led by 27 seconds before a late pit to pick up the fastest lap in a new lap record on the final lap.

Hamilton equalled Michael Schumacher's record of the most wins at one track with eight at the Hungaroring. Schumacher won the French Grand Prix eight times.

Hamilton is now also five short of Schumacher's win record of 91, claiming his 86th.

It's almost expected in 2020 the Mercedes drivers will top the podium, such has been the dominance of Hamilton, and Sky Sports commentator Paul di Resta said it was as good a win as he had ever seen.

"There have been some dominant cars over the years. But this is as big (a gap) as I've ever witnessed," he said.

Lewis Hamilton is spectacular.

He finished first ahead of Red Bull's Max Versteppen and teammate Valtteri Bottas.

"Woah! Yes, guys! What a result. What a result. I want to say a big thank you to the mechanics because you saved the day. You guys are legends. Thanks so much," Verstappen said.

But it doesn't tell the whole story. Rain threatened a crazy race early and Verstappen incredibly crashed during the parade lap.

It was a shocking start and the Red Bull engineers had to rush to get him ready after losing his front wing in the incident.

It was touch-and-go with team boss Christian Horner saying the repairs were turned around in 20 minutes in what would normally take an hour and a half.

"He owes that result to them today," Horner said post-race. "If that had been a wishbone or steering rack, or even an upright, it would have been game over. I think we completed it with 25 seconds to go, the wheel went on. The sweat was dripping off the guys, I mean looking at them work was amazing."

Even Verstappen was appreciative before the race with a radio call saying: "Incredible work guys, that's unbelievable thank you so much."

Post-race, Verstappen was just as thrilled.

"It was not how I wanted in the beginning of course, ending up in the barriers, a bit of a lack of grip - but the mechanics did an amazing job to fix the car," he said. "I don't know how they did it, incredible. Everything was working as normal.

"To pay them back with the second place, I'm very pleased with that.

"We just kept doing our own thing and of course splitting the Mercedes is good for us.

"I thought I was not going to race, so to be second is like a victory for me!"

The team rushed to get him ready and it paid off as he went from seventh to third by the first corner in an incredible move behind Hamilton and Racing Point's Lance Stroll.

But Team Haas had pulled off a masterstroke by pitting their drivers to switch from wet tyres to dry and taking advantage, pushing right to the front of the race early as all the other teams pit to switch tyres throwing the grid upside down.

Sky Sports' David Croft called it "chaotic" with McLaren's Lando Norris seemingly the big loser when it came to leaving the pits as he couldn't get a clear gap to be released and never recovered, while Williams' Nicholas Latifi suffered an early puncture when he collided with Carlos Sainz.

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was also held back but recovered to sixth overall.

While they did get caught, Haas' Kevin Magnussen did finish ninth and claimed the team's first points of the season.

Aussie Daniel Ricciardo also did well, finishing in eighth, his second successive points finish in 2020 after finishing eighth in last week's Styrian Grand Prix.

I’d love to get into F1, but I turn it on and see Hamilton leading by 22 seconds. 😴 How is there still no other car able to compete with Mercedes? #F1

Who’s hoping for a safety car and some crazy final laps to break the boredom of this race? #HungarianGP | #F1

The only retirement came when Pierre Gasly pulled into the pits with a smoking engine, while Red Bull will front stewards after reportedly drying Alexander Albon's grid box before the race.
