The dramatic Hungarian Grand Prix is unravelled in The Race F1 Podcast’s look back at the key crashes, decisions and battles that produced a Hungaroring classic.

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to dissect the two accidents, one caused by Valtteri Bottas and the other by Lance Stroll, at the first corner that set the stage for Esteban Ocon and Alpine’s first F1 victory.

The implications for the victory for both are discussed, as is the crucial role Fernando Alonso played in ensuring his team-mate won the race.

Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes team’s puzzling decision not to pit at the end of what was effectively the second formation lap is dissected, as is his battling drive that allowed him to take the championship lead.

With big stories throughout the field, we also look at the significance of the double points finish for Williams – as well as what George Russell was up to in the pitlane that briefly set him on a course to possibly leading the race – and how Verstappen did a great job to salvage a points finish in a badly hobbled car.
