Verstappen finished fifth at the Hungarian Grand Prix F1 race at Hungaroring on Sunday.
ANALYSISVerstappen had a tough day from start to finish. He took a brave wide line on the opening turn and seemingly took over second place, before giving the position back for gaining an advantage by going off track. He became further agitated by what he felt was a subpar strategy from his Red Bull team after being undercut by rival teams, specifically
Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. As Verstappen tried to regain a podium position late in the race, he went aggressively into Turn 1 again, colliding with Hamilton and going airborne. He has failed to win in his last three grand prix and has only one podium in that span.
