The Hungarian Grand Prix started very chaotic due to rainfall just before the start. Valtteri Bottas had a very bad start and could not brake properly for the first corner. He torpedoed Lando Norris who in turn hit Max Verstappen.
Many dropouts at the start
Bottas crashed out, but Verstappen and Norris can continue. Sergio Perez was hit as well, but cannot continue his race. Charles Leclerc came to a standstill a little further down the track and cannot continue. The last dropout from the start is Lance Stroll.
Due to the large amount of debris on the track, the race is stopped. The red flag is waved and all teams can repair the cars as far as possible.
