Red Bull Racing continues to lose its position in Formula 1. One of the main titans in the world of motorsport right now retains leadership in the Constructors' Cup and individual pilot standings, but the position of the team is no longer so convincing.

At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Sergio Perez was again far from the fight for the podium: the Mexican racer came to the finish line only seventh.

At first, things were a little better for Max Verstappen: the leader of the general classification of F1 passed qualifying third, and after the first turn of the race went to the second place.

However, due to overtaking outside the track, he was forced back to third position.

And it was not all the problems of the reigning world champion.

On the final laps of the race, Max tried to win the third position from Lewis Hamilton. Max so aggressively attacked his titled rival that in one of the corners had to use emergency braking: Verstappen lost control of the car, flew into Hamilton's wheel and flew into the air.

Fortunately for Verstappen, this incident did not lead to serious damage to the car. Max lost not only the opportunity to fight for third place, but also missed on the fourth Charles Leclaire, finishing fifth.

Note that this is not the first incident involving Verstappen in recent times. Earlier at the Austrian Grand Prix, Verstappen and Norris collided in the fight for the lead and lost positions.
