Lando Norris: Wins Hungarian Grand Prix
Norris has won the Hungarian Grand Prix after holding off a thrilling late-race challenge for the lead from McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri, the Briton having made an alternative strategy work in his favour to take victory, Formula1.com reports.
Analysis:
Norris would start third on the grid and utilize a one-stop pit strategy to make up for his pace against the Ferrari. Charles Leclerc would lead the early laps but pit for fresh rubber and Norris would stay out to lap 31 and inherit the lead. He would hand the lead back over to Leclerc for a time but would soon take it again once Leclerc made his second stop. Norris would then hold off a furious charge from Piastri over the final laps to secure the win. It was his fifth victory of the season and third in the last four races.
