There were shades of 2021 as Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton made contact seven laps from the end of the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix.

The pair – who famously made contact several times in their battle for the 2021 title – were fighting over the final podium spot – behind the two McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who were embroiled in their own team orders controversy – when Verstappen lunged down the inside of the Mercedes into Turn 1 on Lap 63 of 70.
