It feels crazy to have won the race today: Max Verstappen on 2022 F1 Hungarian GP victory

After Sunday's race, Max Verstappen admitted it was hard to believe that he would win the race, especially considering that he started the race in P10 on a track like the Hungaroring.

The Red Bull driver said:

"It feels crazy to have won the race today from P10, especially on a track like this where it's very hard to pass. We made all the right calls today, there were some good undercuts and overall we did a great job today as a Team. This was definitely one of my best races, despite the little 360-degree spin! I'm very happy with the lead that we have, but of course we have to keep pushing and win more races."

Max Verstappen now leads the drivers' championship by 80 points over his closest competitor Charles Leclerc.
