Hungarian GP Results: Driver Takes Maiden Victory At The ...

Oscar Piastri won the Hungarian Grand Prix after an eventful and dramatic race. Joining the McLaren driver on the podium was his teammate Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton who crossed the line in second and third position, respectively.

Lap 3: After a couple of laps of McLaren arguing for Red Bull to give the place back to Lando Norris, Max Verstappen is now under investigation for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Red Bull advise the frustrated reigning champion to give the position back.

Lap 4: Max Verstappen gives the position back to Lando Norris but is very frustrated by it. He says to Red Bull, "OK, so you can just drive people off the track then? You can tell the FIA that's how we're going to race from now onwards. Just driving people off the road."

Lap 7: Early pit stops are starting with Williams' Alex Albon and Haas' Kevin Magnussen head in to change for hard compound tires.
