Max Verstappen wins an unbelievable 2019 GermanGP and mastered the rainy conditions to clinch victory on a day when many of the other big guns quite literally hit trouble... Sebastian Vettel finishes an astonishing second from P20. Kvyat crosses the line third at Hockenheim the iconic German track.
The 21-year-old Dutchman led a topsy-turvy result in which Verstappen's victorysecured his second win of the season and seventh of his career, was just one storyline in what will be remembered as an all-time classic German Grand Prix, as Verstappen got handfuls of wheelspin to drop way down the pack. But that was just the first of series of twists and turns as the rain came, and then eased, and then returned, before the track finally started to dry out in the closing stages. Behind the Red Bull driver, Sebastian Vettel completed a sensational comeback from 20th on the grid to second, while Daniil Kvyat was a surprise third as Toro Rosso scored just their second ever podium.
Polesitter Lewis Hamilton had a day to forget, finishing 11th after two mistakes.
But the Briton did not lose any ground to team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the championship after the Finn crashed.
It was a dismal way for chanmpionship leaders Mercedes to end a weekend when the team celebrated 125 years in motorsport and their 200th Formula 1 race.
