F1 calendar 2023: Verstappen holds HUGE lead while Hamilton plays catch-up with Belgian GP up next – schedule confirmed | The Sun

THE Formula One season is well and truly underway and Red Bull are racing ahead at the top of the leaderboards.

Max Verstappen claimed his SEVENTH straight win at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Meaning a Red Bull driver has crossed the finish line on top of the pile in every race so far this campaign.

Lewis Hamilton is hoping to improve on his 2022 performance after finishing lower than he ever has done in sixth place and going winless all season.

And the British superstar will be hoping he can build on his fourth-place finish in Hungary.
