2019 Hungarian Grand Prix
The 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix was the twelfth round of the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship, held over the weekend of 2–4 August at the Hungaroring circuit in Mogyoród, Hungary.[1][2] The 70-lap race, covering a distance of 306.63 km on the 4.381 km track known for its tight, twisty layout and demanding overtaking conditions, was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes-AMG Petronas, who overtook polesitter Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing on lap 67 after a strategic battle in the extreme heat.[3][4] Verstappen finished second, 17.796 seconds behind, while Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Ferrari claimed third, 61.433 seconds adrift.[5] Hamilton's victory marked his seventh at the Hungaroring and his 81st career win, extending his drivers' championship lead to 62 points over teammate Valtteri Bottas.[4][6] Qualifying on 3 August saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen secure his first career pole position with a lap time of 1:15.573, edging out Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas by 0.018 seconds, while Hamilton qualified third, 0.334 seconds off the pace.[2][7] Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Vettel followed in fourth and fifth, respectively, with the session highlighting Red Bull's strong single-lap pace in the sweltering conditions that saw track temperatures exceed 50°C.[8] The top ten qualifiers were: 1. Verstappen (Red Bull), 2. Bottas (Mercedes), 3. Hamilton (Mercedes), 4. Leclerc (Ferrari), 5. Vettel (Ferrari), 6. Carlos Sainz Jr. (McLaren), 7. Kimi Räikkönen (Alfa Romeo), 8. Nico Hülkenberg (Renault), 9. Sergio Pérez (Racing Point), and 10. Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso).[2] At the race start on 4 August, Verstappen maintained the lead into Turn 1, but chaos ensued behind as Hamilton made contact with Bottas at Turn 2, damaging the Finn's front wing and forcing an early pit stop that dropped him to the rear.[4] Leclerc capitalized to take third, while Hamilton settled into second after passing the recovering Bottas. Verstappen built a lead of over 20 seconds by lap 24, pitting for hard tires as part of a one-stop strategy, but Mercedes opted to keep Hamilton out longer before switching him to fresh medium tires on lap 48, enabling a rapid chase in the final stages.[9] No major retirements occurred, though tire degradation in the heat tested all teams, with Pirelli's medium and hard compounds dominating strategies.[10] The race's climax came on lap 67 when Hamilton, on fresher tires, used DRS to pass Verstappen at Turn 1, a move that sealed the win despite the Dutch driver's resistance.[4] Vettel overtook Leclerc late to secure the final podium spot, while Bottas recovered to sixth after his early setback.[5] Verstappen set the fastest lap of 1:17.103 on lap 69, earning an extra point.[5] Mercedes' strategic flexibility proved decisive, extending their constructors' lead to 150 points over Ferrari.[9][6] The event underscored the Hungaroring's reputation as a "Monaco without walls," with limited overtaking opportunities amplifying the importance of pit strategy and tire management.[3]Background
Entrants
The 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix saw the full complement of 10 Formula One teams enter two cars each, adhering to the season's standard lineup without any mid-weekend driver substitutions.[11] All chassis were the same as those used throughout the 2019 season, with no event-specific modifications reported.[11] This event was notable as Pierre Gasly's final race with Red Bull Racing and Alexander Albon's concluding outing for Toro Rosso, prior to their post-race driver swap announced ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.[12] One minor adjustment involved Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo, who fitted new power unit components—including a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, and MGU-K—exceeding his seasonal allocation and incurring a penalty to start from the rear of the grid.[13]| Team | Drivers (Car No.) | Chassis | Engine |

Second practice session
The second free practice session for the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix took place on Friday afternoon under initially dry conditions at the Hungaroring, but was heavily disrupted early by Alexander Albon's crash at Turn 14, prompting a red flag just minutes into the session, followed by rain that limited effective running. Pierre Gasly of Red Bull Racing Honda set the fastest time in the dry portion with a lap of 1:17.854, followed by teammate Max Verstappen 0.055 seconds behind, while Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes was third, 0.141 seconds off the pace.[19] The sudden rain forced teams to switch to wet tyres for testing, with several drivers, including those from Ferrari, completing short runs to assess handling in the changing conditions. However, the weather interruptions and early red flag meant limited laps for data collection on car setups, impacting preparations for the dry-focused weekend ahead. Notably, drivers like Romain Grosjean of Haas managed only incomplete laps due to the red flags and poor visibility, further complicating setup evaluations. Albon did not set a lap time after his crash on his second lap.[19]| Pos. | Driver | Team | Time | Gap | Laps |

Qualifying
Qualifying sessions
Qualifying for the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix was held on Saturday 3 August in dry conditions at the Hungaroring, with ambient temperatures around 27°C and track temperatures starting at 48°C.[25] The sessions followed the standard knockout format, with Q1 lasting 18 minutes for all 20 drivers, Q2 15 minutes for the top 16, and Q3 12 minutes for the top 10, as the track evolved with rising temperatures providing increasing grip but demanding precise tire management on the soft compound predominantly used.[8] In Q1, Max Verstappen set the pace for Red Bull with a lap of 1:15.817, ahead of the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton (1:16.068) and Valtteri Bottas (1:16.078).[7] Charles Leclerc clipped the barrier at Turn 4 midway through the session, damaging his Ferrari's rear wing but managing to continue and post a 1:16.337 to advance.[26] The bottom five were eliminated: George Russell (Williams, 1:17.031), Sergio Pérez (Racing Point, 1:17.109), Daniel Ricciardo (Renault, 1:17.257), Lance Stroll (Racing Point, 1:17.542), and Robert Kubica (Williams, 1:18.324). Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo) was later handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Stroll at Turn 14, as confirmed by the stewards after reviewing in-car footage and team radio.[27][7] Q2 saw improved times as the track rubbered in, with Hamilton quickest at 1:15.548, ahead of Verstappen (1:15.573) and Bottas (1:15.669).[7] The session eliminated the midfield pack: Nico Hülkenberg (Renault, 1:16.565), Alexander Albon (Toro Rosso, 1:16.687), Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso, 1:16.692), Giovinazzi (1:16.804), and Kevin Magnussen (Haas, 1:17.081), who struggled with balance issues on his final run.[8][7] Rising track temperatures, now exceeding 50°C in parts, began to affect rear tire degradation, prompting teams like Ferrari to focus on clean sectors for Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel.[25] The top-10 shootout in Q3 produced a thrilling conclusion, with Verstappen securing his first career pole position—his 93rd Grand Prix start—with a stunning 1:14.572 on his final lap.[8] Bottas came agonizingly close in second at 1:14.590, just 0.018 seconds adrift, while Hamilton slotted into third with 1:14.769 after a strong but compromised run due to traffic.[7] Leclerc recovered impressively to fourth (1:15.043) despite his earlier mishap, ahead of Vettel (1:15.071), Pierre Gasly (Red Bull, 1:15.450), Lando Norris (McLaren, 1:15.659), Carlos Sainz (McLaren, 1:15.852), Romain Grosjean (Haas, 1:16.013), and Kimi Räikkönen (Alfa Romeo, 1:16.041). The session highlighted the narrow margins at the front, with the top three covered by under 0.2 seconds amid evolving track conditions that favored bold qualifying simulations over race setup compromises.[8][7]Starting grid
The starting grid for the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix was finalized following the qualifying session on 3 August 2019, where Red Bull's Max Verstappen claimed his first career pole position with a lap time of 1:14.572, becoming the 100th unique pole-sitter in Formula One history.[7][8] Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes qualified second and third respectively, setting up a strong challenge from the front row positions.[7] The only change to the qualifying order came from a penalty imposed on Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi, who was demoted three places from 14th to 17th for impeding Racing Point's Lance Stroll during Q1; this allowed Haas' Kevin Magnussen, Williams' George Russell, and Racing Point's Sergio Pérez to advance one position each.[28][7]| Pos | Driver | Team | Time |

Race
Pre-race conditions
The 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix was a 70-lap race scheduled to start at 15:10 local time (CEST) at the Hungaroring circuit.[29] Conditions were sunny and warm, with an air temperature of 28°C, a track temperature exceeding 50°C, and low wind throughout the afternoon.[30][10] The dry forecast, with no chance of precipitation, indicated a low probability for safety car deployment.[31] Pirelli supplied the C2 compound as the hard tyre, C3 as the medium, and C4 as the soft for the event.[32] At the start, all drivers from pole through tenth position opted for the medium tyre (C3), while several backmarkers chose the soft (C4) for a potential early advantage.[10] The pit lane opened without incident, and the formation lap proceeded smoothly with no reported delays. The Hungaroring's narrow, twisty layout—featuring a series of slow corners with limited straights—made overtaking particularly challenging, thereby heightening the strategic emphasis on starting positions from qualifying.[33]Race summary
At the start of the 70-lap race at the Hungaroring, Max Verstappen held his pole position advantage through the first corner, leading Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. At the start, chaos ensued as Hamilton made contact with Bottas at Turn 2, damaging the Finn's front wing. Bottas then had further contact with [Charles Leclerc](/page/Charles Leclerc) between Turns 3 and 4, forcing the Mercedes driver to make an unscheduled stop at the end of lap 1 and rejoining at the rear of the field.[34][35][36] Verstappen extended his lead in the early stages before pitting for hard-compound tyres on lap 25, while Hamilton remained on track until lap 31, rejoining the race approximately six seconds behind the Red Bull. Ferrari employed a split strategy between its drivers, with Leclerc stopping first on lap 27 for hards and Vettel delaying his stop until lap 39. Hamilton closed in on Verstappen during the middle phase, launching aggressive attacks at Turns 1 and 2 but briefly running wide after locking up, which allowed the Dutch driver to maintain the lead.[4][37][38] Mercedes switched to a two-stop approach midway through the race, pitting Hamilton for fresh medium tyres on lap 48 and leaving him 20 seconds adrift of Verstappen, whose hard tyres were beginning to degrade. Romain Grosjean retired from 11th place on lap 51 with a water pressure issue. Hamilton rapidly erased the deficit at over two seconds per lap, overtaking Verstappen at Turn 1 on lap 67 to assume the lead. Verstappen responded by setting the fastest lap of 1:17.103 on lap 69. Hamilton secured victory by 17.796 seconds over Verstappen, while Vettel overtook Leclerc on lap 66 to claim third, 1:01.433 behind the winner. A late-race duel saw Alexander Albon pass Daniil Kvyat on lap 64 to take 10th and the final championship point, with only four cars avoiding being lapped.[4][1][39][5][40]Race classification
The official race classification for the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix, held on 4 August at the Hungaroring, determined the finishing positions based on the order in which drivers crossed the finish line after 70 laps, with gaps calculated relative to the winner's total race time of 1:35:03.796.[5] Points were awarded in accordance with the FIA Formula One World Championship sporting regulations, granting 25 points to the winner, decreasing to 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 point for positions 2 through 10, respectively; an additional point was awarded to the driver achieving the fastest lap provided they finished among the top 10.
