F1 is back this weekend as Max Verstappen looks to keep a firm grip on the championship title race in Hungary. The Dutchman beat title rival Charles Leclerc during last weekend’s French Grand Prix to take pole, with the Monegasque driver crashing out. It was a double podium for Mercedes, however, who had Lewis Hamilton in second and George Russell in third. Hamilton’s performances over the past few weeks have been a big improvement on his first half of the F1 season. But it’s looking more and more like Verstappen will retain the crown he picked up in Abu Dhabi at the end of 2021. Leclerc and Hamilton, however, will be doing everything in their power to stop him this weekend.
