BUDAPEST (AP) — Formula One champion Max Verstappen needed only a few seconds to stamp his authority on the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday and win his seventh straight race of a crushingly dominant season.Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton started from pole position ahead of Verstappen, who muscled him out at the first corner and never looked back.Red Bull’s 12th straight win, including the final race of 2022, broke McLaren’s record for consecutive team wins set in 1988.“That was so enjoyable to drive, 12 in a row that is unbelievable,” Verstappen said. “Hopefully we can keep this momentum going for a long time.”Verstappen is cruising toward a third straight F1 title.

McLaren driver Lando Norris finished second for the second-straight race and Perez was third for a much-needed second podium in six ...
