Lewis Hamilton finished the Hungarian GP in fourth. He was in the third position in the second half of the race due to a team order. As he was unable to catch Raikkonen, he had to allow Bottas to pass to give him his third place.

Red Bull drivers had a disastrous start with Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo colliding with each other. Ricciardo had to retire due to the damage to his car, whereas Verstappen finished fifth.
