Hamilton’s recent success at Silverstone has given him newfound confidence as he looks to secure another podium finish and possibly his 10th pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Despite his recent victories, Hamilton knows he will face tough competition from defending champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull, who is aiming for a hat-trick of wins at the circuit. With the season nearing its midway point, the competition is heating up as teams prepare for back-to-back races in Hungary and Belgium.
Team boss Christian Horner expects a close battle at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Red Bull likely to face stiff competition from McLaren, Mercedes, and possibly Ferrari.
