- Australian driver enjoys debut win in second season
- Teammate Lando Norris reluctantly ceded the lead
Oscar Piastri won the Hungarian Grand Prix after an enormously tense finale in a showdown with his McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who finished second only after he very reluctantly agreed to follow team orders and let the Australian past with three laps remaining to secure his debut Formula One grand prix victory.
Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was third. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fourth and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who was furious with his car and his team throughout, came in fifth. He is under investigation for causing a collision, having hit Hamilton in an over-ambitious overtake attempt late in the race.
