'Just as the rest catch up, Max wins that race by 33 seconds difference'

Max Verstappen won last weekend's race in Hungary with great ease. The Dutchman had a lead of 33 seconds at the end of the Grand Prix. Martin Brundle talks about the Dutchman's performance in his column.
The 11 races run were all won by Red Bull. Verstappen won nine of those 11 races, giving him a 110-point lead over number two and also teammate Sergio Perez. It seems like there is nothing or nobody can keep the two-time world champion from his third title.
Brundle recognises Verstappen's dominance
"Max Verstappen and Red Bull continue to control this season in dominant fashion, to my mind reminiscent of Nigel Mansell in a 1992 Williams and Michael Schumacher in a 2002 Ferrari. At least the championship will not be won in July or August as we witnessed back then, of course with many fewer races in the season and a different points system," Brundle began.
In qualifying, Lewis Hamilton was suddenly in pole position, and Lando Norris was also very close to beating Verstappen. In the race, it was a completely different story. "Just as it seemed the pack were beginning to catch the Milton Keynes Speed Masters, Max then wins the race by 33 seconds. He described the car as a pure pleasure which made him smile inside his crash helmet, and we even heard his engineer Gianpiero Lambiase calling on the radio just to break the silence and check how he was doing."
