Lando Norris Wins with One-Stop Strategy in Hungary, McLaren Captures 200th Win
On the opening lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lando Norris fell from third to fifth, being passed by the Mercedes of George Russell and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, as pole-sitter Charles Leclerc and Norris's teammate, Oscar Piastri, pulled ahead. Norris's mistake on the opening lap ultimately won him the race as McLaren split their strategy, with the only chance of Norris competing for a win coming with a one-stop race, keeping him out of most of the wheel-to-wheel racing action. Norris, Piastri, and Leclerc were all chasing their ninth career win, with Norris taking the win for his side of the McLaren garage and bringing the English team their 200th win. Norris's win over Piastri in second drops Piastri's points lead to nine points. "I'm dead, it was tough," Norris told F1TV. "We were not planning on the one-stop at the beginning, but after the first lap, it was kinda our only option to get back into things. The final stint with Oscar catching, I was pushing flat out." Leclerc was able to hold off Piastri through the first set of pit stops on the two-stop strategy, with Piastri pitting first on lap 19 for the undercut and Leclerc staying ahead after pitting a lap later. While Norris was running behind Leclerc and Piastri, the championship leader had to choose his priority of racing against Leclerc or Norris. In the end, Piastri extended his middle section to have the freshest hard tires to take the race to his teammate in the closing laps, after Leclerc was pulled to the pits complaining about his tires. Ultimately, on lap 41, Leclerc and Ferrari took the bait when McLaren set up the pit for Piastri, drawing Leclerc down the pit lane. Piastri and McLaren had decided by this half way point, while just two seconds behind Leclerc, that the race was with their competitor on the other side of the McLaren garage. Piastri would pit on lap 46. Five laps later, Piastri was able to make the run on Leclerc for the lead once his second hard tires were heated underneath him. When Piastri moved into second ahead of Leclerc, he was nine seconds behind his teammate on 14-lap fresher tires by lap 62, Piastri was within three seconds. Cutting into the lead by about a third of a second a lap, set Piastri up for his first attempt at a race-winning pass to come with two laps remaining, a lockup kept Norris ahead. "I think I needed to be a couple of tenths closer, which was going to take a mistake by Lando to achieve that," Piastri told F1TV. "I felt like that was going to be my best chance, you never want to save it for the next lap, which never comes." As soon as Norris picked the one-stop option, Piastri was forced into his only move being an overtake on a notoriously hard passing track. "I pushed as hard as I could, I think after I saw Lando going for the one [stop], I knew I was going to have to overtake on the track, which is much easier said than done around here," Piastri said. "Tried a few things, it was a gamble either way, today unfortunately we were on the wrong side of it. The team did a great job, the car really came alive in the second half of the race." When Leclerc fell to third, his race came undone. George Russell, came out fourth behind the Ferrari after his final pit stop. While trying to defend, Leclerc was desperate and aggressive as Russell radioed that the Ferrari was moving under braking on lap 62. Leclerc pulled the same move on lap 63, but Russell was able to get around the second time. The Stewards reviewed Leclerc's move and hit him with a five-second penalty. By the end of the race, Leclerc was 15 seconds off the podium but held fourth place with the penalty crossing the finish line 16 seconds ahead of Alonso. Aston Martin had their best race finish as Alonso took fifth ahead of Sauber's Gabrial Bortoleto and his teammate Lance Stroll. Liam Lawson finished ahead of Max Verstappen in ninth with Kimi Antoneill holding on with hard tires for 48 laps to capture the last point of the Grand Prix, keeping Issac Hadjar and Lewis Hamilton at bay.

Lando Norris beats Oscar Piastri in tense finish to keep F1 championship fight alive
Lando Norris won a riveting Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, cutting fellow McLaren driver Oscar Piastri's lead in the championship standings to 9 points in the last Formula 1 race before the summer break. The race delivered a tense final few laps, with the two title rivals fighting neck-and-neck for victory until the very last corner of the final lap. Wading through traffic and back-markers, Norris fended off a charging Piastri despite having older and worn tires. 'I'm dead. I'm dead! That was tough,' Norris said in a post-race interview broadcast on ESPN. 'That was tough the final stint with Oscar catching — I was pushing flat out,' he added, calling the result more 'rewarding' after that intense fight. The victory was a statement from Norris, a sign that he isn't ready to loosen his grip on the championship trophy. It was also a confidence boost after an often-troubled season: Norris, who entered the season as the favorite, has often proven himself to be the faster driver, but he's been prone to errors that have cost him valuable points against the steely and more consistent Piastri. 'We're so tightly fought it's hard to say the momentum's on anyone's side,' he said. 'It's tough but fun racing against Oscar.' The Formula 1 world championship battle has solidified into a one-on-one showdown between the two McLaren rivals. Heading into the nearly month-long summer break, Piastri has 284 points to Norris' 275. Reigning-four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull sits in a distant third with 187 points; his hopes for a fifth title are all but finished. He finished a lowly 9th place in Hungary. Piastri made an ambitious lunge on Norris in the penultimate lap, but overdid it and locked his front wheel, nearly crashing into his teammate. He was given a gentle reprimand by his team on the radio: 'Remember how we go racing.' 'I pushed as hard as I could,' Piastri said after the race. 'The car really came alive in the second half of the race.' McLaren team principal Andrea Stella discussed the radio message to Piastri in an interview with F1TV after the race. 'The reminder was for both: one, make sure you don't dive into the inside too aggressively. The other one, don't move under braking,' Stella said, adding that he understands both are fighting for the title. 'It's fair that they try their best, but all these should happen within our principles.' It was the fourth consecutive race where the McLaren drivers finished first and second, showing the dominance of the papaya-colored team this year, which scored its 200th victory in F1 on Sunday. Mercedes' George Russell finished in third place after a feisty battle for the final podium position. Leclerc wins pole but loses it in the race Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc captured a shock pole position on Saturday and led away comfortably at the start from Piastri and Norris, who qualified in second and third place. Norris got a decent start and pulled to the inside of Piastri before his teammate moved to cut him off, compromising Norris and costing him two positions in the opening corners. Piastri's move kept him ahead of his rival at the start and gave him preferential treatment for the first pit stop. But Norris' camp spiced things up by gambling on a one-stop strategy, pitting him later on lap 31. When Piastri pitted again, on lap 46, he came out about 12 seconds behind Norris — but carrying tires that were 14 laps younger to fight with. Piastri then overtook Leclerc, making it a two-person race at the front between the championship rivals. He closed up behind Norris and attacked him, but failed to get past. 'After I saw Lando going for a one [stop], I knew I was going to have to overtake on track, which is must easier said than done around here,' Piastri said. 'I tried a few things. It was a gamble either way. And today unfortunately we were just on the wrong side of it.' Hungary was the race that foreshadowed their rivalry one year ago. Piastri pulled ahead at the start, but Norris took the position back at the pit stops due to strategic decisions by McLaren. Then the team ordered Norris to slow down and let Piastri overtake him for the win — which he did after resisting it for many laps. It was a dramatic and controversial sequence that led to Piastri's first Grand Prix victory in Formula 1. Overall, Norris comfortably beat the younger Piastri throughout the 2024 season, but fell short to Verstappen in his bid for the championship. This year, the McLaren drivers have been more evenly matched. A series of mid-race radio messages between the McLaren drivers and their race engineers crystallized the battle. After dipping a wheel into the gravel, Lando was told to 'just keep the focus — you don't want those mistakes.' It came one race after Norris was similarly put on a different tire strategy but made a few crucial errors that prevented him from challenging Piastri. Piastri, meanwhile, was asked mid-race whether he wants the strategy to focus on challenging Leclerc for the win or fending off Norris for second place. Piastri's response was telling: 'If you still think beating Lando is realistic, then: doing that.' 'I don't really care about Leclerc,' Piastri added on team radio a few laps later. 'I just want the best chance to try and beat Lando. That's the important thing at the moment.' It's all about the world championship. Verstappen says he's staying at Red Bull The race weekend also put an end to two of the biggest open questions in the sport. Verstappen, the reigning four-time world champion, told reporters he will stay with the embattled Red Bull team next season, finally settling persistent questions about whether he will jump ship to Mercedes. Ferrari announced it is re-signing team principal Frédéric Vasseur to a 'multiple-year contract,' ending some recent speculation about the Italian team's leadership. But all was not well with team this weekend. Leclerc voiced his frustration with the team's decision-making mid-race as his hopes of victory faded. Leclerc ultimately lost third place on lap 62, when Russell overtook him. And Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, qualified 12th in Hungary before calling himself 'useless' while speaking to reporters. Hamilton finished in 12th place. The next F1 race is on Sunday, August 31 in the Netherlands.

Lando Norris holds off Oscar Piastri to win thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix
Lando Norris held off a thrilling late charge from Oscar Piastri to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and reduce his world championship rival's lead to nine points. Norris was running in fourth place but benefited from stopping for tyres one fewer time than his rivals to land his fifth victory of the season. The British driver took the chequered flag just six tenths ahead of Piastri, who went within centimetres of colliding with Norris on the last-but-one lap when he locked up his front-right tyre at the opening corner. 'Remember how we go racing, Oscar,' came the warning from his race engineer, Tom Stallard. George Russell passed Charles Leclerc with eight laps to go to take the final spot on the podium. Pole-sitter Leclerc had to settle for fourth. Lewis Hamilton, who urged Ferrari to replace him after he qualified only 12th, finished in the same position, a lap down. Norris' win in the concluding round before the summer break – his third triumph from his last four appearances – reignites his bid to land a maiden world crown. But the Bristolian can count himself somewhat fortunate to be standing on the top step of the podium. Norris started third, and although he got away well from his marks, an attempt to pass Piastri on the inside of the opening corner backfired. Norris did not commit to the overtake and that left him in no-man's land, allowing Russell and then Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso to breeze through. On lap three, Norris fought his way clear of Alonso but was then tucked up behind Russell and making little progress. On Saturday, Hamilton described himself as 'absolutely useless' after he was knocked out of Q2 with Leclerc, in the other scarlet car, having taken the Scuderia's first pole of the year. By the end of the first lap, Hamilton dropped behind Carlos Sainz and Kimi Antonelli and was 14th. By eight laps, he was 20 seconds behind Leclerc, and at the end of lap 14, he trailed his team-mate by half a minute. Piastri was the first of the leaders to blink, stopping for hard tyres on lap 18. Ferrari, reacting to Piastri's stop, pulled in Leclerc on the next lap. On fresh tyres, Piastri had been quicker than the Ferrari, but Leclerc managed to stay ahead. Russell also stopped on lap 19 promoting Norris to the lead. Further back, and Max Verstappen, who had also taken on fresh tyres, was tucked up behind Hamilton, yet to stop, in a duel for 11th. Verstappen threw his Red Bull underneath Hamilton's Ferrari at Turn 4 on lap 29, with the seven-time world champion running off the road and losing the place to his old nemesis. The flashpoint will be investigated by the stewards after the race. Returning to the front, and McLaren were now considering a one-stop strategy for Norris. His race engineer, Will Joseph, was on the radio: 'Lando, 40 laps on the hard tyre, you up for it?' Norris replied: 'Yeah, why not?' On lap 31 of 70 he came in for his sole change of tyres before lighting up the timesheets with the fastest laps of the race so far. Norris then dropped two wheels through the gravel on the exit of the chicane, which irked Joseph. 'Lando, just keep the focus, we don't want these mistakes,' he said. Both Leclerc and Piastri were forced to stop again on laps 40 and 45, respectively. Norris now led Leclerc by seven seconds, with Piastri five seconds further back. But Piastri was on the move, swatting Leclerc aside on lap 51 and then setting about reducing Norris' nine-second advantage. With five laps to go, Piastri was just a second behind, and on the penultimate lap attempted a banzai move at the first corner but Norris remained ahead to land what could be a pivotal win in his championship charge. Alonso finished fifth, one place ahead of rookie Gabriel Bortoleto. Verstappen finished ninth, with Hamilton fighting his way past Pierre Gasly and then Sainz but finished outside of the points on a desperate weekend for the 40-year-old. 'I am dead, I am dead,' Norris said. 'We were not planning on the one stop, but it was our only chance after the first lap. I have pushed hard, and my voice has gone a little bit but it was the perfect result today. 'We are so close in the championship, it is hard to say if the momentum is on either side, but it is fun racing against Oscar, and I just about held on so I look forward to plenty more of these.' Piastri said: 'I pushed as hard as I could. After I saw Lando take on the one stop, I knew I would have to overtake on track and that is easier said than done.'
