F1 superstar and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has made a dominant start to the season, and is in excellent form ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Winning eight of his last ten rounds, the Dutchman's chances of emerging victorious in Hungary are looking all the more definite.
Victory in the Hungary GP will make it Verstappen's third title of the season, he currently sits 99 points above second placed team-mate Sergio Perez in the Drivers' championship.
Despite his impressive victory at the British Grand Prix beating Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris in doing so, Verstappen is hungry for more and has reiterated Red Bull's need for improvement in all areas.

His successes this season haven't been his to celebrate alone though. And his recent gesture showed just that.
A report from Dutch news outlet De Telegraaf stated that Verstappen wanted to show his appreciation to his Red Bull team, especially the engineers who had worked tirelessly so far this season.
The report further went on to say that last year, Verstappen had taken 30 Red Bull employees with him out to dinner, a remarkable gesture in itself.
He intends to repeat the same this time around, expecting that there will almost certainly be a victory to celebrate after the Hungary GP.
Verstappen intends to repeat a similar gesture for Red Bull employees like last year, and this time, he plans to take them out for another night around the city of Budapest.
The Dutchman's remain firmly ground, however, he highlighted all the areas that Red Bull need improvement in.
"Drag, low speed, medium speed, high speed, DRS effect, tyre wear all of these areas. Braking performance. I’m not kidding," said Verstappen.
Given his dominant displays so far this season, winning all but two of his races, Verstappen is in a very good place in the Drivers' Championship when compared to last year.
