Formula One champion Lando Norris celebrated McLaren's first win of the season in Hungary Sunday, while Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli stretched his championship lead to 50 points after a damage-limiting race.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen was ⁠runner-up, 15.080 seconds behind the Briton, with Antonelli third after ⁠a likely McLaren one-two evaporated when Oscar Piastri pulled over with a gearbox failure 14 laps from the end at the Hungaroring.

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, Antonelli's closest title rival, finished a close fourth on track but dropped to fifth behind teammate ​Charles Leclerc after a five-second post-race penalty for speeding in the pitlane when he made a ​third ⁠stop under virtual safety car conditions.

"My pace today was probably some of the best pace I’ve ever had," said Norris, who goes into the August break on a high. "The car was beautiful to drive and I felt very confident, so a great race."

"I’m just happy to be back and see the number one again,” he added.
