Overview

• Lando Norris recovered from a lap-one setback to win the Hungarian Grand Prix by 0.6 seconds using an alternate one-stop strategy
• Oscar Piastri stuck to the pre-planned two-stop approach, overtook Charles Leclerc on lap 51 and held on for second place
• Norris’s victory reduces Piastri’s drivers’ championship lead from 16 to nine points as McLaren’s intra-team title battle intensifies
• Piastri described the narrow defeat as “a bit painful” and admitted it was difficult to accept after closing the gap on fresh tyres
• Team principal Andrea Stella defended the split-strategy call as the fairest way to give both drivers freedom and signalled the approach will continue post-break
