Verstappen SNUBBED as Perez lands major award for Red Bull

Max Verstappen has been beaten again by Sergio Perez, although this time not as a race winner, but in the overtake of the month competition.

Formula 1 announced the winner on Monday, with Perez's smart move past Oscar Piastri at the Hungarian Grand Prix taking the crown.

Although Verstappen is on the warpath to win everything he puts his mind to this season, the Dutchman will most likely be at peace with Perez winning this award instead, even though he did produce a fine move of his own at Spa.

The eventual race winner boldly went around the outside of Charles Leclerc at Les Combes to move up into P2, as he charged from sixth on the grid to first for his eighth successive victory.
