Formula 1: Norris Holds Off Piastri Challenge To Win Hungarian GP As McLaren Finish 1-2
Hungarian Grand Prix: Lando Norris held off a thrilling late-race challenge for the lead from McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, the Briton making an alternative strategy work in his favour to take victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday -- registering his fifth win of the season and narrowing the gap between the top two in the standings.
Polesitter Charles Leclerc made a strong start to hold P1 when the race got underway, allowing the Ferrari driver to build up a steady lead over Piastri in P2 during the opening stages of the race – a position he maintained amid the first round of pit stops, despite Piastri’s attempt to undercut his rival.
However, things started to change a bit as the race progressed, different strategies played out among the frontrunners, with Leclerc and Piastri – both on two-stop plans – finding themselves behind the one-stopping Norris in the final phase of the race.
