Norris edges Piastri to win F1 Hungarian GP

Beijing, Aug. 4 (UNI)Lando Norris used a bold one-stop strategy to hold off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by just 0.7 seconds to win Sunday's Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. Norris began the race at the Hungaroring from third on the grid, but dropped to fifth at the start after being squeezed by George Russell and Fernando Alonso, with surprise polesitter Charles Leclerc leading the field ahead of Piastri in second. Faced with losing more ground to Piastri in the Drivers' Championship standings, Norris pivoted from a planned two-stop strategy to just one stop on lap 31. That move proved decisive, as it saw him emerge at the head of the field once the other frontrunners on more conventional strategies had made their second stops. Piastri then swept around the outside of a fading Leclerc on Lap 51, and set about closing the nine-second gap to Norris, whose tyres were 14 laps older than the Australian's. Piastri got within DRS range of Norris with five laps to go, and attempted an inside move on Norris at Turn 1 on the penultimate lap, locking up his tyres and narrowly avoiding contact. Despite heavy pressure from his teammate, Norris kept his head to keep Piastri at bay on a circuit where overtaking is difficult, and ultimately saw out his fifth win of the season, and his third in the last four races. "I'm dead," Norris said afterwards. "It was tough. We weren't really planning on the one-stop at the beginning, but after the first lap it was kind of our only option to get back into [contention for victory]. "The final stint with Oscar catching I was pushing flat out. Rewarding for that and the perfect result today." Behind the dominant McLarens, Russell rounded out the podium for Mercedes some 20 seconds down the road, ahead of an unhappy Leclerc in fourth. The Ferrari driver had led the opening stages from pole position, and appeared to have the pace to keep Piastri at bay, but his race unraveled in the second half as balance issues slowed him significantly. Alonso took Aston Martin's best result of the season so far with fifth, while Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto scored his best ever finish with an impressive drive to sixth. Alonso's teammate Lance Stroll took seventh on a good day for Aston Martin, while Liam Lawson took his second consecutive eighth-place finish for Racing Bulls. Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who looked off the pace all weekend, finished ninth after an investigation into an incident where he appeared to force Lewis Hamilton off the track yielded no penalty, while Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top ten for Mercedes.

Lando Norris holds off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win F1 Hungarian Grand Prix

Sometimes, a Formula 1 win is less about speed than strategy and gritty driving. Lando Norris held off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in a tense finish to win the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday (August 3, 2025) and boost his title chances. Overtaking in Hungary is tough, but Norris had to work hard to keep the win as Piastri loomed behind him in the final laps. Norris celebrated with a double fist pump on top of his car after claiming McLaren's 200th F1 win by less than a second to cut Piastri's standings lead to nine points from 16. 'I'm dead. It was tough, it was tough,' Norris said. 'The final stint, with Oscar catching, I was pushing flat out.' It was the fourth one-two finish in a row for McLaren, with Norris winning three of those head-to-heads as the momentum swung back toward him ahead of the four-week midseason break. Making the right callA year on from a contentious first win for Piastri over Norris in Hungary after awkward radio messages, this was a race decided on the track. Norris briefly dropped to fifth on the first lap but made his tires last to stop only once, while Piastri changed tires twice. Piastri steadily cut into Norris' lead in the latter stages of the race but the British driver held on with old tires to take the win. Piastri nearly collided with his teammate when he locked up a wheel while trying to pass on the second-to-last lap. Still, it was Norris who held on to have the last word in their title fight. 'Good racing. Good strategy. Good call,' was how Norris summed it up on the radio. Piastri's two-stop approach happened because, at the time, he and McLaren were more focused on getting ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, whose pace eventually fell away anyway. 'It wasn't obvious that we just had enough pace to blow past (Leclerc),' Piastri said. 'For Lando, there was virtually nothing to lose by trying a one-stop race. For myself, potentially there was." George Russell took third for Mercedes after fighting his way past Leclerc in a contest that earned Leclerc a time penalty for nearly colliding with Russell while defending. Defending champion Max Verstappen was only ninth after being off the pace all week. He stays third in the standings, but drops to 97 points off leader Piastri in another heavy blow to an already unlikely title defense. Ferrari frustrationLeclerc started on pole position with hopes of landing Ferrari its first Grand Prix win of the year, but ended up fourth after a radio message of what he later admitted was misplaced blame aimed at the team. 'This is so incredibly frustrating. We've lost all competitiveness,' he told the team over the radio. However, he later told broadcaster Sky Sports that the car actually had a chassis problem he only learned about later. A day after calling himself 'useless' and questioning whether Ferrari might need to replace him, Lewis Hamilton ended up 12th, exactly where he started. His comments after the race seemed set to fuel more speculation about his troubled first season with the Italian team. 'There's a lot going on in the background that is not great,' Hamilton told Sky Sports, without explaining further. Hamilton never seemed to have the pace to fight for points and was at one stage forced off the track by Verstappen as his old rival overtook him. Aston's dayFernando Alonso took Aston Martin's best result of the season with fifth on a slow track that suited his car, with Gabriel Bortoleto a surprise sixth for Sauber and Lance Stroll seventh in the other Aston Martin. Liam Lawson was eighth for Racing Bulls, with Verstappen ninth and Kimi Antonelli 10th for Mercedes.
