Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix with an assured drive for McLaren at the Hungaroring, his and the team’s first victory of the year. His run was a commanding performance once he was in front but behind him the there was no little drama and incident as Max Verstappen claimed second for Red Bull and Kimi Antonelli put in very strong comeback drive to take third from seventh on the gird, while Lewis Hamilton battled fiercely for all 70 laps and took a five-second penalty to finish fifth.Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was in fourth but Norris’s McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri who had been leading and ultimately had to retire on lap 56 with a gearbox problem, was left fuming that he had been struck and blocked while trying to lap the backmarker Carlos Sainz in a Williams at a crucial point in the race.Antonelli further extended his lead in the championship, while his Mercedes teammate George Russell’s hopes took another blow as his car went into anti-stall on the grid, dropping him to 20th. He drove hard to come back to seventh but has dropped even more points to the Italian as the sport goes into its summer break. Antonelli now leads Hamilton by 50 points and Russell by 59.The McLaren has shown marked improvement since the team brought upgrades and Norris made the most of it. It was his second win in a row in Hungary and the 12th of his career. With this added to Norris’s victory here last year and Piastri’s in 2024, McLaren have extended their record to 14 victories at the Hungaroring.Quick GuideF1 Hungarian GP resultsShow1 Lando Norris 🇬🇧 McLaren 1:39:56.180 – 25pts2 Max Verstappen 🇳🇱 Red Bull +15.080 – 18pts3 Kimi Antonelli 🇮🇹 Mercedes +18.728 – 15pts4 Charles Leclerc 🇲🇨 Ferrari +23.840 – 12pts5 Lewis Hamilton 🇬🇧 Ferrari +24.540 – 10pts6 Isack Hadjar 🇫🇷 Red Bull +55.488 – 8pts7 George Russell 🇬🇧 Mercedes +57.503 – 6pts8 Liam Lawson 🇳🇿 Racing Bulls +1 lap – 4pts9 Nico Hülkenberg 🇩🇪 Audi +1 lap – 2pts10 Arvid Lindblad 🇬🇧 Racing Bulls +1 lap – 1pt11 Gabriel Bortoleto 🇧🇷 Audi +1 lap12 Pierre Gasly 🇫🇷 Alpine +1 lap 13 Lance Stroll 🇨🇦 Aston Martin +1 lap14 Fernando Alonso 🇪🇸 Aston Martin +1 lap15 Franco Colapinto 🇦🇷 Alpine +2 laps16 Esteban Ocon 🇫🇷 Haas +2 laps17 Alexander Albon 🇹🇭 Williams +2 laps18 Carlos Sainz 🇪🇸 Williams +2 laps19 Oliver Bearman 🇬🇧 Haas +2 lapsNC Oscar Piastri 🇦🇺 McLaren DNFNC Sergio Pérez 🇲🇽 Cadillac DNFNC Valtteri Bottas 🇫🇮 Cadillac DNFNorris just held his lead from pole though turn one but Piastri had burst up behind him from third and the Australian took the place at turn two while Hamilton moved from fifth to fourth and Leclerc dropped from second to fifth.Piastri held control in the clean air to the first stops through which Hamilton and Verstappen enjoyed an entertaining fight.

Oh my God,” a furious Piastri told his team.Norris pitted on lap 39 and duly emerged in front of his teammate; the incident with Sainz, who had not spotted Piastri and turned into the McLaren, had cost him the place.After Verstappen’s second stop, having stayed out longer, Hamilton had moved past him but the Dutchman had fresher rubber.
