Yuki Tsunoda caused a red flag in the first free practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix. After almost ten minutes of delay the Formula 1 drivers were able to return to the track and Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton wanted to do so at exactly the same time.
It all ends well and there is no touch in the pit lane, but Formula One's official social media channels immediately noted that it may not be the last 'duel' of the weekend at the Hungaroring.
Close call for Verstappen and Hamilton
