How was there such a reversal between an ultra-tight qualifying and a grand prix that was dominated by Max Verstappen?

Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to answer that question and many more as they review the Hungarian Grand Prix on The Race F1 Podcast.

Lewis Hamilton’s tardy race start, the chaos caused by Zhou Guanyu’s lap one error and McLaren’s second consecutive podium are also discussed.

And of course there’s an assessment of Daniel Ricciardo’s weekend as he made his racing return to F1 at Budapest while current Red Bull driver Sergio Perez had to deliver another recovery drive on Sunday.

And as ever, we answer plenty of questions [from The Race Members’ Club](https://www.the-race.com/members-club/).
