Max Verstappen angry at Red Bull after Lewis Hamilton takes Hungarian Grand Prix pole

Max Verstappen has expressed his frustration at Red Bull at being "all over the workshop" over the weekend after his streak of five consecutive pole positions with Lewis Hamilton overtook him in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix came to an end. Red Bull have introduced a major new car upgrade for this weekend with early signs suggesting it will take them further away from the chasing pack.

But neither Verstappen nor Sergio Perez could find the sweet spot in practice and even Q1 and Q2 indicated the former was ready to fight for pole. McLaren and Mercedes looked quick and it proved the case in the third quarter with Lando Norris and Hamilton pushing Verstappen.

The Dutchman managed to fend off Norris' challenge, but Hamilton managed to put his Mercedes on pole position for the first time in 33 races in just three thousandths of a second. It's the first time since the Miami Grand Prix in early May that someone has managed to beat Verstappen in qualifying.

Starting from second place still gives Verstappen every chance of picking up another victory on Sunday. But the double world champion criticized Red Bull after the session for not being at his usual level.

He said: "I struggled all weekend to find a good balance - every session was ups and downs. Also today in qualifying it was really tough. Q1, Q2 to feel confident, to really attack the corners.

"I thought my first run in Q3 was pretty good, but then the second run, again lackluster feeling. Tried to push a bit more - you lose the rear, lose the front.
