Lewis Hamilton’s win at Silverstone cemented Mercedes as one of the teams that can consistently battle for wins in 2024, making the front of the grid tighter than ever. Plus, Sergio Pérez needs to get back on track.
Lewis Hamilton notched a storybook victory two weeks ago at Silverstone, winning his record-setting ninth British Grand Prix and re-establishing Mercedes as a force to be reckoned with. After a weekend off, Formula One is back in action in Budapest at the Hungarian Grand Prix—and the action on track is only getting better.
Hungary should bring more of the same fierce competition. McLaren still might have the best car on the grid. Verstappen still might be able to grit out a podium or even a win in a shockingly unpredictable Red Bull. Russell and Hamilton still might come out of nowhere to steal victory. Any of these outcomes seem feasible, making Sunday’s race one of the most intriguing of the season thus far.
Eight straight races with a finish on the podium is certainly nothing to scoff at, but Norris, Oscar Piastri and the rest of the team have been outspoken about their frustration with missed opportunities. Every point counts after Red Bull and Verstappen raced out to a hefty lead in the standings early in the year—especially when the difference between victory and second place is so significant.
