Lando Norris held off a late attack from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to win the Hungarian Grand Prix. Norris' controlled, defensive drive in an intense race with the two title rivals on divergent strategies reduces his deficit to Piastri in the championship to nine points heading into Formula 1's summer break.

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.
