After a pair of dramatic races at Silverstone and the Hungaroring, Formula 1 drivers head into a much-needed summer break, with three weeks off until the next race in the F1 schedule.

With Lewis Hamilton taking two podium finishes in the British GP and the Hungarian GP, he once again sits atop the driver’s championship table — the wins weren’t without storylines, though. 

Hamilton collided with Max Verstappen at Silverstone, sending the Red Bull driver careening into the wall. A 10-second penalty didn’t keep Hamilton from grabbing the win, his eighth straight at the circuit. In Hungary, Mother Nature played the antagonist: A wet track at lights out forced several drivers out and caused big-time damage to others. Verstappen’s car survived the wreck, but the damage was insurmountable.

Alpine driver Esteban Ocon won the race, while Hamilton roared back to take third — and later second after Sebastian Vettel was disqualified. 

Time to catch your breath. Here’s what you need to know about the next F1 race:
