Lando Norris ended an eight-month wait for a Formula 1 victory with strong pace and a dose of good fortune to win the Hungarian Grand Prix. Norris lost the lead at the start to teammate Oscar Piastri but regained it after Piastri was struck by a slower car. Piastri stopped with a gearbox failure, paving the way for Max Verstappen to take second, with Kimi Antonelli third. Antonelli increases his standings lead with title rivals Lewis Hamilton fifth after a penalty for speeding in the pits and George Russell seventh after a near-stall at the start.
