Lando Norris Wins Hungarian Grand Prix In Another Mclaren 1-2
"I'm dead, it was tough!" said Norris.
"I wasn't planning the one-stop strategy.
"It was tough in the final stint with Oscar catching I was pushing flat out you know so my voice has gone a little bit.
"It feels good and rewarding a little more because of that but a good result today."
"I pushed as hard as I could, looking forward to a few weeks off," said Piastri.
"I saw Lando going for a one (stop) so I knew I was going to have to overtake on track, which is easier said then done around here" added the Australian about a circuit dubbed 'Monaco without the walls' for the lack of overtaking opportunities.
"Everyone's going to sleep well tonight, great way to go into the summer break. The drivers were awesome," said McLaren CEO Zak Brown.
Polesitter Charles Leclerc was furious with his Ferrari team's strategy as he came in fourth leaving the Scuderia still waiting for their first win of the season.
Fernando Alonso, nursing a bad back, was right in the thick of things to finish fifth for Aston Martin, ahead of Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber), Lance Stroll in the other Aston, and Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls).
Max Verstappen, in his 200th drive for Red Bull, had to settle for ninth with Kimi Antonelli rounding out the top 10 as the man he replaced at Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton, could only manage 12th in the second Ferrari.

Konstas, 19, was shoulder-barged by the Indian superstar during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. The young sensation had a breakthrough series after being handed his Test debut, scoring a half-century with an aggressive approach that forced Team India to rethink their game plan. He was also involved in multiple altercations with Indian players, including Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.

Chappell takes dig at England's Bazball: 'Reckless isn't positive cricket'
"Positive cricket doesn't mean reckless cricket," said Australian great Greg Chappell, lambasting England's 'Bazball' philosophy during the high-intensity drawn Test series against India. In his column for 'ESPNCricinfo', Chappell, while lavishing praise on the young Indian team for being fearless, criticised the Englishmen, particularly Harry Brook, for failing to read situations which required perseverance instead of flashy strokeplay. "England's own journey in this series presents a cautionary subplot - one embodied by the brilliant but mercurial Harry Brook, whose virtues I have extolled publicly before," Chappell, a former India head coach, said. "He has time, range, confidence, and that rare gift of making batting look effortless. But cricket, particularly Test cricket, is not just about shot-making. It's about judgement. About recognising when the moment demands attack - and when it demands restraint," he added. England were 301/3 in pursuit of 374 when the 26-year-old Brook's dismissal triggered a collapse on the fourth day of the fifth Test in London that the home side lost by six runs on Monday. With that result, India tied the series at 2-2. "Brook's dismissal at The Oval, with the game finely poised, was symptomatic of the conundrum that is facing the England setup. The "Bazball" philosophy - of fearless, attacking cricket - has revitalised their Test side. But it cannot become an excuse to avoid doing the hard yards. "...all England needed was for one batter to hold his nerve. To absorb pressure. Brook went for the glory shot - and perished," he pointed out. "There's nothing wrong with positivity. But positive cricket doesn't mean reckless cricket. It means confident, calculated risk-taking." Chappell said a more restrained approach in challenging match situations would help Brook establish himself as a worthy successor to Joe Root, England's most prolific run-getter. "Brook is emerging, and he will learn. But to become the match-winner England need, he must embrace the grind along with the glamour. Root didn't become England's most prolific batter by always playing pretty strokes. "He earned it with grit. Brook will need to do the same if he is to fulfil his vast potential," he said. Giving his overall assessment of the series, Chappell said the showdown will be long remembered for not just the result but also the "theatre" it created. The two teams engaged in on-field verbal altercations during the hard-fought contests, all of which lasted five days. There were also gladiatorial displays by the likes of Rishabh Pant and Chris Woakes who took the field despite serious injuries to help their respective team's cause. "The subplots. The redefinition of roles. Both sides were tested -- physically, tactically, emotionally. "But it was India who emerged as moral victors. They won clarity. Identity. Purpose," he said.

Turning it Pope's way: Aussie leggie keen on continuing good run
Though he played a pivotal part in leading his team to the final, Pope sat out in the final, considering the pitch conditions at the Karen Rolton Oval then. "The wicket didn't really spin a lot. Credit to our squad, we had got some very good fast bowlers. They decided to go with the fast bowlers on that day. All I wanted was that to be the right decision and we won the game," he said. He further explained his season where South Australia won both the Shield and the One-Day Cup. "At the start of the year we said the squad's going to win the Sheffield Shield, not just the 11 players. Just to be even named in that squad, that's a huge achievement for me personally. (With regards to what he did) I tried to improve my stock ball trying to make my leg-break an effective ball to get wickets. That probably was not the easiest thing. It took quite a while for me to get to a stage where I feel like on Australian wickets that I am spinning the ball away from the bat and getting a bit of shape in the air and bounce off the wicket. That's quite a small adjustment but quite a hard one to make. I spent a lot of time doing that," he said. Listening to India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja talk on spin bowling, Pope then switched his aim before his delivery. "If I could take one thing away from what he says, it is just hitting the stumps as many times as possible. He is one of the best in the world. I think that's probably been one of the things that I've been focussing on in all formats of cricket for the last 12 months," he added.
