Alpine’s Esteban Ocon claimed his first Grand Prix victory in the 36th Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix, round 11 of the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship, on Sunday.

Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel finished second, while Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) completed the podium.

Vettel was disqualified for failing to comply with a routine checkup after the race.

According to the decision handed down by the FIA race stewards it was not possible to take a 1.0 litre sample of fuel from Vettel’s car after the race, stating that though “the team was given several opportunities to attempt to remove the required amount of fuel from the tank, however it was only possible to pump 0.3 litres out”.
