Lewis Hamilton backed for Hungary glory despite grid punishment

Lewis Hamilton must fight back from fifth on the grid if he is to win the Hungarian GP.

Lewis Hamilton has been backed by fans to secure victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix despite having a three-place grid penalty.

The seven-time world champion qualified on the front row after missing out on pole by just 0.012s but received a three-place grid drop to fifth for impeding Oscar Piastri at the end of Q3.

Nevertheless, in a RacingNews365 poll, 34% of voters expect the Ferrari driver to recover from fifth and claim yet another win at the Hungaroring.

Polesitter Lando Norris received the second-most votes with 25%, while George Russell, who starts sixth on the grid, received the third-most with 17%.

Interestingly, Russell received more votes than both Charles Leclerc, who starts third, and championship leader Kimi Antonelli.

Just 7.9% of voters are backing a Max Verstappen win, with the Dutchman and Red Bull generally having struggled in Hungary.
