Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton took his second win of the 2020 Formula One season at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday for the eighth time to equal Michael Schumacher's single-venue record and take the championship lead, while Max Verstappen took second despite dramatically crashing on his way to the grid in wet conditions.
Valtteri Bottas failed in an attempt to pass Red Bull's Max Verstappen for second, giving Hamilton a five-point championship lead over his team after three races.
With rain having fallen earlier in the day and pockets of standing water still on the circuit, most of the drivers selected to start the race on intermediate tyres, Hamilton even had time to stop for fresh tyres with three laps to go to grab the extra point for fastest lap in the beautiful Hungary.
The British driver's 86th GP win moved him just five behind the German great Schumacher's F1 record of 91.
