Max Verstappen's Hungarian Grand Prix was under the watchful eye of the FIA Stewards for an incident with Lewis Hamilton, which was set to be investigated after the race.
The race was not an easy one for the Dutchman. After dropping a place following a poor start, the Red Bull Racing driver was stuck behind Gabriel Bortoleto for the first part of the race having made his way up to P7.
Then he was pitted for hard tyres which he complained about, having been released into traffic.
On lap 30, Verstappen went for a move that never really saw him alongside Hamilton going into the fast left-hander at Turn 4. The move forced Hamilton wide off the track to avoid a potential collision. The incident was then noted and put under investigation by the Stewards.
