Red Bull continues its dominance in Formula One with Max Verstappen securing his ninth win of the season, breaking McLaren's previous win record. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo makes his return to Formula One, finishing 13th. Let's take a closer look at the Hungarian Grand Prix and the thrilling performance of Red Bull's RB 19 and its driver, Max Verstappen.


The Hungarian Grand Prix marked the halfway point of the Formula One season, and Red Bull has been unstoppable, winning all 11 races so far. However, the significant milestone is their 12th consecutive win, surpassing McLaren's previous record. Max Verstappen's dominant performance secured him his ninth victory of the season, further solidifying his lead in the championship standings.

In the RB 19, Verstappen showed no signs of slowing down, finishing over 30 seconds ahead of his closest rival, Lando Norris of McLaren, who clinched second place. Red Bull's Sergio Perez secured the third spot on the podium, with pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton settling for fourth place. Despite some initial struggles, Oscar Piastri managed to secure a commendable fifth place, while his teammate George Russell showcased another impressive recovery drive.

Further down the grid, the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz claimed seventh and eighth places, respectively. Fernando Alonso, once a dominant force, finished ninth, and his teammate Lance Stroll secured the final point in 10th place.

The spotlight was also on Daniel Ricciardo, making his return to Formula One. Starting from 13th, he finished 13th as well, in what he described as a challenging race. While he outqualified his teammate Yuki Sonoda, the race posed a steep learning curve for him, adapting to the car and the race conditions after an eight-month hiatus from racing.


The Hungarian Grand Prix showcased the sheer dominance of Red Bull's RB 19 and its driver, Max Verstappen, breaking records and further cementing their position at the top of the championship. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on the teams and drivers to see if anyone can challenge Red Bull's unstoppable force on the racetrack.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
