Yes, he was pushed off the track by Lando, where Max had his wheel in front at the apex.
Of course Lando was pushed wide by Oscar, but that doesn't change the situation imho.

^ Lando is told his race is with MAX..throttle trouble re-appearing maybe.

LAP 17 - LEW in pit , comes out with hards .

[///M Power-Belgium]

LAP 18 - Lando in pit - MAX is P2

LAP 19 - Piastri in pit

MAX is P1 - Gap to Charlie (P2) is 3.5 sec.

NOR in for hards, MAX 2nd 3.3 to PIA...as the Larens get gobbled by those on mediums WOW!
MAX leads from Charlie but he says the car is not good on his meds.

Looks like Hannah is working on it .... I believe in her

[GuidoK]

I wonder if they're choosing the right strategy with Max....
He's loosing a lot of time right now...

[Fliplegend]

LEC has chosen Plan C

If anyone can she can..as MAX dives in for his new HARDS.

[///M Power-Belgium]

LAP 22 -MAX in pit - Comes at P5 with hards .

Pit was 3 sec. Could have been faster (!)

[GuidoK]

When Hammy pitted, he was 1sec behind Max.
Now he's 7sec in front. So Max lost 8 sec in that period.
However, Hammy hammered his new hard tyres in the last few laps.

P4 now as Chas pits for hards also, his old foe is ahead in 3rd.

Yeah . I think it was a bad call . But think MAX's tires were completely gone ...

LAP 26 :

1- PIA
2- NOR
3- LEW
4- MAX
5- LEC

And ....Yuki is P7 !!!

[GuidoK]

I'm surprised at the speed of the MERCs. They were fast in lower temps but it's looking good for them now too, despite mediocre qualifying.
So it looks like they solved their former problems.

MAX is hauling LEW in on his fresher hards, 2 seconds now to him.

Max catching Hammy

DRS for sure.

[M4Lou]

!! Max

[///M Power-Belgium]

LAP 35/36 - MAX vs LEW !

What a fight (!)
LEW locked up and MAX ran (a bit) off track...

And MAX comes again in DRS !!!

#DogFight

And there comes Charlie ....

[GuidoK]

It's almost impossible to overtake on the hungaroring.
I think Hammy will keep Max at bay, especially as LEC is now on Max' tail.
