That's all from us

Verstappen romped to a seventh win in a row to see Red Bull break the record for most wins in a row.

After a disastrous start for Hamilton, he ended up in fourth, while team-mate Russell recovered to P6 after his qualifying nightmare.

Norris was up to his usual antics after the race as he broke Verstappen's trophy with his champagne ritual following his P2 finish, with Piastri taking home P5.

Ferrari had another unremarkable weekend with P7 and P8 finishes with Aston Martin completing the points in P9 and P10.

Thank you for staying with us this afternoon.

We'll have Belgium up next, and we hope you will join us for then as well.

'Work to do'

Hamilton shared Wolff's desire to improve going forward.

Speaking after the race, he told Sky Sports: "The initial getaway wasn't the worst I've ever had but it obviously wasn't as good as Max's.

"[I] Had a bit of wheelspin, and obviously Max was on the inside and run me wide and I got done by the two McLarens, so definitely not a great start - kind of reminiscent of 2015 when I fell back from first.

"After that I just didn't have the pace to keep up with the guys, the balance of the car was pretty awful in that first stint.

"I had a lot of understeer, snap of oversteer through corners and I just couldn't keep up with them. And bit by bit as we got through the next couple of stints the car started to become more drivable.

"But I'm going to take the positives from yesterday, amazing from the team to get to where we were and to beat everybody in qualifying was really spectacular for us and while it shows we don't have the best car it was an incredible lap.

"We have a lot of work to do, it looks like we are a long way from the Red Bull in a race and now we are behind the McLaren but we just got to keep pushing."

Red Bull upgrade impact

As if they needed to be any quicker.

Verstappen's +33.7 second win today was the biggest margin of the season so far.

The Bulls brought upgrades to the Hungaroring which were rumoured to make them two tenths quicker.

While qualifying was far from ideal, the race was routine for them with Perez also recovering to P3.
