Find out why Max Verstappen won't go to Mercedes; and who'll partner Lewis Hamilton next year? - Hungarian GP latest
That's something that has evaded him in two of the last three races - Verstappen dropped down the field from second on the grid in both Austria and Germany, but went on to win both races anyway.
But he has been quick throughout the weekend, wet or dry, and was fastest in first qualifying, just pipped by Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes in the second session, and then quickest on both runs in the top 10 shoot-out."It's always a question how it will work out in qualifying where we know can turn up a bit more power. But the car was incredible. It was really enjoyable to drive. I didn't have any comments on the car, I just said: 'Keep it going'.
Verstappen already has a contract with Red Bull for 2020, but it has a performance clause in it that could have made him potentially free for next season. "He is at Red Bull," Wolff said."He has a contract. He is committed to Red Bull. This is where he is racing this year and this is where he is going to race the year after and anything else is very much out in the open."
There is interest in Ocon elsewhere - notably at Renault, where Nico Hulkenberg is out of contract and looking shaky. But also potentially at Haas and Alfa Romeo.Another driver in the Mercedes stable is George Russell, who has impressed all year at Williams, but never more than at the Hungaroring on Sunday.
"It's been an incredibly tough year from so many aspects," Russell said."Going into the summer break, it is really what we needed as a team. This is not just from my side - we really did this together."
