Nobody is stopping Max Verstappen's surge for the Formula 1 title in 2023, but the chase to become the best of the rest just got a whole lot more interesting ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Better late than never, McLaren have arrived at the party. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri lined up second and third on the grid respectively at Silverstone. They proved their rapid qualifying results were no fluke as they finished second and fourth in the British Grand Prix itself.

There's a lot of the season left to run, and if McLaren's upgrades stick, frequent battles between Zak Brown's team, Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Martin are not out of the question.

Elsewhere, former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo is back in a seat for 2023 after AlphaTauri ruthlessly dispatched Nyck de Vries after just 10 races. Ricciardo was the third driver at Red Bull but will start for the company's 'B team' AlphaTauri in Budapest.

To make the whole situation even more dramatic, Red Bull's Sergio Pérez is enduring a torrid run of form after being eliminated in Q1 at Silverstone. It's not inconceivable that a strong showing by Ricciardo for AlphaTauri would put even more pressure on Pérez's Red Bull seat.
