World champion Lando Norris won his first race of the 2026 F1 season at the Hungarian Grand Prix but his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri saw a potential victory turn into a nightmare retirement due to a gearbox issue while Lewis Hamilton’s hopes of winning an eighth world championship took a blow.
Max Verstappen finished second while championship leader Kimi Antonelli rounded off the podium to extend his advantage over Hamilton, who also endured a frustrating weekend and dropped behind Charles Leclerc to fifth after he received a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit-lane. Hamilton started fifth after he received a three-place grid penalty yesterday.
