Daniel Ricciardo's filthy c-bomb rant caught on team radio

Team radio has picked up a foul-mouthed tirade from Daniel Ricciardo directed at a rival Formula One driver.

Ricciardo was lapped in the Hungarian Grand Prix and finished with 0 points as his forgettable debut year with Renault continued.

In a humiliating reality check, it was Max Verstappen - the man he left Red Bull to get away from - that eventually lapped Ricciardo.

The Aussie's race wasn't without incident, however, as evidenced by a late run-in with Kevin Magnussen.

Ricciardo was on the charge after starting the race in last place on the grid.

Having held off from entering the pits until the 49th lap, Ricciardo made a late push to work his way up the field.

However, the 31-year-old found a stubborn opponent in Magnussen, who almost made contact with Ricciardo after an attempted pass on Turn 1.

"This c**t's taking the p**s, moving under braking," Ricciardo could be heard fuming on team radio.

Ricciardo flipped his Danish rival the bird on the cool-down lap and was still steaming about the incident when talking to reporters after the race.

"I had good pace on the softs but I got on the back of Magnussen and I wasn't that impressed with the moving under braking. I heard he got a warning, but he did it again. I was all locked up trying not to crash into him," Ricciardo said.

"After that we couldn't do much, the tyres were a bit hurt at the end. It was a bit frustrating, we had a bit more pace.

"I'll watch a replay and see what it is but at the time I was pretty frustrated with the move.

"Moving under braking is the one thing we frown upon. I thought it was extreme in a few cases."

FIA race director Michael Masi confirmed after the race that Magnussen had been spoken to about the incident.

"There was a warning to the team about the consistency of it, not so much the one-off [move], but [the] repeated part of it," Masi explained.

"The warning was for this event and that's it… next event, clean sheet of paper.

"There's one movement generally allowed to protect your line.

"But the movement under braking and is something the drivers, from Bahrain when we've had our meeting with them all, something they wanted us, particularly if it's constant, to crack down on."

Hamilton overcomes Verstappen

Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton hunted down Verstappen to win the Hungarian Grand Prix for a record-extending seventh time and surge 62 points clear in the championship standings.

Dutch 21-year-old Verstappen, who had started from pole position for the first time, was runner-up on Sunday after being reeled in and overtaken four laps from the end with his tyres worn to the limit.

"That was definitely a tall order but I'm grateful we did it," said Hamilton of a strategy that left him with a gap of almost 20 seconds to close in the final 22 laps.

"Man, that feels so good, guys."

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel finished third and more than a minute behind -- an eternity in Formula One terms -- as the top two waged their own private battle in the heat of the Hungaroring.

Hamilton, who also triumphed in Hungary last year and is heading inexorably towards a sixth title, now has 250 points, with teammate Valtteri Bottas on 188 and Verstappen closing in fast on 181.

The win in the last race before the August break was Hamilton's eighth in 12 rounds this season and the 81st of his career -- 10 short of seven-times champion Michael Schumacher's all-time record.
