Piastri Returns With Renewed 'Confidence' To Hungarian GP After 'Awkward' First Win
Last Updated: Oscar Piastri's first F1 win in Hungary taught McLaren valuable lessons. Now, a title contender, he leads teammate Lando Norris by 16 points. McLaren aims for its 200th win. Some Formula 1 races remain memorable due to thrilling action, controversy, or even being so dull they prompted a rule change. Oscar Piastri's first F1 win, however, stands out as a benchmark for sheer awkwardness. Piastri is pleased to return to Hungary this week, but his breakthrough victory there last year serves as a significant lesson for McLaren as they manage his title fight with teammate Lando Norris. This lesson is even more crucial now. Piastri has evolved into a genuine title contender over the past year and currently leads Norris by 16 points following his victory in Belgium last week. 'I have a lot of confidence in myself that I can do it," the Australian said of his title chances on Thursday. 'The pace in the last few weekends, especially (Belgium), I've been very confident in and very proud of. I'm more than capable of continuing that for the rest of the year." McLaren could achieve some milestones this weekend, including a potential 200th win in F1 for the team. It might also mark Piastri and Norris' fourth consecutive one-two finish, a feat McLaren last accomplished in 1988. Piastri had been leading, but McLaren's pit strategy — which typically favours the leader — had put Norris ahead. Piastri believes the team can still draw positives from that situation. 'I think it underlined the good nature in the team. It was obviously a slightly awkward situation, but it highlighted that we will do the right thing in all circumstances — well, ideally all circumstances — when we're on track," Piastri said. 'It showed the trust that we have with the team and with each other as well, that things will be put the right way." F1 has a history of title fights souring team relationships — notably at McLaren with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost over 30 years ago — but Piastri and Norris have maintained a friendly rivalry. Nonetheless, there has been a collision in Canada, a near-miss in Austria, and Piastri's rejected request for Norris to relinquish the lead in Britain. Piastri believes one factor preventing his relationship with Norris from deteriorating is their shared commitment to keeping McLaren at the top of F1 for 'many years to come." 'We've all seen how it can go wrong, but we have a lot of reasons to push for it to not go wrong," he added. Another wet race possible F1 might be facing its third wet race in a row this Sunday after a rain-delayed start last week in Belgium divided opinion among drivers and fans. Max Verstappen argued that 'we could have started way sooner" and said the lack of racing in wet conditions was 'a shame," but Piastri and others highlighted the poor visibility and specific safety concerns at the high-speed Spa-Francorchamps circuit. '(Visibility) is always much worse in the car than it looks on TV, and I think the FIA has done a very good job of listening to us and taking that feedback on board," Piastri said. 'The feeling in this room would be pretty different if we had a big crash last week."

F1 champion Max Verstappen says he's staying with Red Bull team for 2026
Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen says he is staying with the Red Bull team next year, ending months of speculation over his future. 'Some people just like to stir the pot, some people just like to create drama. But, for me, it's always been quite clear, and also for next year," the four-time champion said Thursday ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. "I'm discussing with the team already the plans — the things that we want to change for next year, so that means that I'm also staying with the team for next year.' Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull through 2028. At recent races he had deflected questions about whether he'd stay with the team next year, and there had been indications that a performance-related clause could allow him to exit the contract early. The details of any clause are not public. Stability for Red Bull His announcement brings some much-needed stability for Red Bull, less than a month after Christian Horner was removed from his role as Red Bull team principal after 20 years and replaced by Laurent Mekies. Verstappen last week dismissed the suggestion that Horner's firing would affect his decision on his future. Red Bull is more dependent on Verstappen than any of F1's other leading teams are on any one driver. Of the 192 points Red Bull has scored this season, Verstappen contributed 185, while his teammate Yuki Tsunoda hasn't scored a point in the last six races.
