Overview
- Noel León won the FIA Formula 2 Feature Race at the Hungaroring on Sunday, earning 25 points, recording his third victory of the 2026 season and moving to fifth in the F2 standings with 94 points.
- León told Motorsport that there have been talks about a potential move to Formula 1 and his strong sponsor backing has increased his leverage with teams weighing rookie promotions.
- The Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix reshuffled the standings as Lando Norris won the race and Kimi Antonelli extended his drivers’ lead while Mercedes remained top of the constructors’ table.
- Alpine left Hungary with a negative weekend after Franco Colapinto finished 15th and the team dropped behind Racing Bulls in the constructors’ order, a setback the team blamed on limited running and balance and grip problems.
- Colapinto stayed in Budapest to take part in Pirelli tyre tests on Tuesday and set the fastest time on day one while completing heavy running, a role that signals Alpine’s continued technical reliance on him and could affect his medium-term position with the team.
