Red Bull look invincible at the moment and they have been very consistent throughout the season. Perez is going through a tough patch but Verstappen has notched up valuable points for the team by finishing on top of the podium in six consecutive races. Other teams have a lot of catching up to do and the reigning champions are expected to dominate the grid once again. However, do keep your eyes on Lewis Hamilton, who is slowly getting back to his best and is the most successful driver in the history of the Hungarian GP.
