At this point, only one thing is inevitable in every Formula One race - Red Bull's blue and red car crossing the finish line before everybody else.
The reigning Constructors' champion continued their blistering dominance, sweeping all races this year so far as Max Verstappen claimed the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix. It is the team's 11th win out of 11 attempts this season.
Counting last year's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Red Bull had now won 12 consecutive races, breaking the Formula One record for most wins in a row by a team set by McLaren in 1988 when they won the first 11 races and 15 out of the 16 races that year.

McLaren boasted two of the greatest drivers in the sport's history in their lineup in 1988, with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost driving the highly-dominant McLaren MP4/4 car.
Since the beginning of the 2022 season, Red Bull has won 28 of the 33 races held, with reigning champion Max Verstappen responsible for 24 of them, while Sergio Perez has won 4 races, all in street tracks.
Honda notably made McLaren's engines in 1988, and Red Bull has been using rebranded Honda engines named Red Bull Powertrains since 2022. The Japanese automaker has supplied Red Bull's engines since 2019.

Surplus budget for Red Bull
Red Bull Racing team principal and CEO Christian Horner admitted that the Milton Keynes-based outfit did not use all of its 2022 cost cap budget.
This is due to a low number of damages, crashes, and minimal upgrades, with the RB18 car being fast enough from the get-go.
