Ezúttal Max Verstappen (Red Bull) aratott győzelmet a Formula–1-es Magyar Nagydíjon, aminek révén a Red Bull megdöntötte a leghosszabb győzelmi sorozat rekordját. Másodikként Lando Norris (McLaren) szelte át a célvonalat, míg harmadikként Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) végzett. A konstruktőri tálat így a Red Bull Honda csapat nyerte.
