The race delivered a thrilling final lap with the McLaren title rivals fighting for the win. Norris cut Piastri's lead in the standings to 9 points before the summer break.

Sometimes, a Formula 1 win is less about speed than strategy and gritty driving. Lando Norris held off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in a tense finish to win the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday and boost his title chances.

Norris opted for a Hail Mary one-stop strategy when race engineer Will Joseph floated the idea mid-race. As the final laps unfolded, he had older tires and was racing in dirty air as they caught up to traffic with no DRS assistance. Piastri was quickly narrowing the gap, getting it within eight-tenths of a second with five laps to go.
