Despite sitting first and third with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz halfway through the race, Ferrari failed to get either of its cars onto the podium.

Leclerc started on medium compound tyres at the Hungaroring and spent the opening stint running third, only to jump team-mate Carlos Sainz for second place by getting the overcut at the first round of pitstops.
