The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, securing his first victory of the Formula One season. The McLaren driver started from pole position but was quickly overtaken by his teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris fought back, eventually passing championship leader Kimi Antonelli to take the lead and hold on for the win. Max Verstappen finished second for Red Bull, while Antonelli came third for Mercedes.
Piastri's race ended early after a collision with a back marker. He was heard shouting over team radio, 'Get out of the f***ing race!' His McLaren later ground to a halt. George Russell also had a difficult day; a technical issue with his Mercedes on the grid caused him to lose 12 places in seconds. Lewis Hamilton battled with Verstappen but could not get past Antonelli, finishing behind him.
Norris's victory was his first main race win of the season and came after a slow start to the year. The reigning world champion, Verstappen, returned to the podium but could not challenge for the win. The race was tight throughout, with little room for error on the tight Hungaroring circuit.
