Hungarian Grand Prix 2025: Lando Norris Upstages McLaren Teammate Oscar Piastri To Win

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. 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.
