Mercedes-AMG’s Lewis Hamilton wins the FORMULA 1 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 2020, this is his eighth time winning in Hungary.  Hamilton started on Pole for the 90th time.  Before the race started the Red Bull Racing Honda team had to do an emergency repair on Max Verstappen’s car that received damage after Verstappen left the track and hit a wall during warm up laps damaging his front left suspension.  The Red Bull pit crew did their magic with only seconds to spare before the start of the race, their efforts paid off in a big way with Verstappen finishing 2nd, in front of Mercedes-AMG’s Valtteri Bottas who finished 3rd after starting on the front row.  As the race started, Bottas had an indicator light go off on his dashboard that distracted and he did not get off to a good start.  Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari finished in the points while his teammate Charles Leclerc did not.  Due to track conditions, at the start of the race none of the drivers started on slicks, 18 of the drivers were on Intermediates (green) and 2 drivers started on Full Wets (blue).  By Lap 4 the track conditions had changed enough that all drivers that had not already done so came in for an early tire change to put on slicks.
