Hungarian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton secures victory after late overtake
Re-live all the action from the Hungaroring
Lewis Hamilton passed Max Verstappen with three laps remaining to win the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton was within one second of Verstappen when he was called in for a second pit stop - Mercedes hoping that a switch to fresh tyres would provide the British star with a chance to usurp Verstappen. The strategy move by Formula One's all-conquering team proved inspired.
Hamilton left the pit lane 21 seconds behind Verstappen with 21 laps remaining, the Briton lighting up the time sheets before catching the back of Verstappen's Red Bull. The world champion then made the move for victory stick around the outside of Verstappen on lap 67. Re-live the action below:
