Hamilton vs. Verstappen lived up to the billing

BUDAPEST, Hungary-- It was the one we'd all been waiting for: a straight fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen for victory. A five-time world champion, arguably the greatest driver of the modern era, versus the man who will spend the next decade chasing down his records.

Up until now they have been the two star drivers of the 2019 season, albeit separated by a significant car advantage for Hamilton. But in Hungary the track suited the rapidly-improving Red Bull and we finally saw the two best drivers in F1 go head to head.
