Conclusion

The 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix was a race of attrition, with only 13 of the 20 cars finishing. The race was also notable for the number of safety cars, with four periods of caution during the race. Despite the challenges, Hamilton was able to control the race from start to finish and claim a comfortable win. Verstappen's second place was a positive result for Red Bull Racing, but the team will need to find more pace if they want to challenge Mercedes for the championship. Racing Point's double podium was a welcome result for the team, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum in the coming races.
