Piastri, despite finishing just shy of the win, was still beaming with pride. “I gave it my all, but Lando was just a bit better today,” he said. “I’m proud of my performance, and I know we’ll be back stronger at the next race.”
The result marked a significant milestone for Norris, who has been steadily building his reputation as one of the top drivers in F1. With five wins this season, he has firmly established himself as a title contender, and his victory in Hungary has sent a strong message to his rivals.
For McLaren, the result was a welcome boost, as they continue to battle for positions in the constructors’ championship. With both Norris and Piastri driving strongly, the team is well-placed to make a push for the top of the table.
The Hungarian Grand Prix 2025 was a thrilling event that showcased the skills and determination of the F1 drivers. Norris’ victory was a testament to his dedication and hard work, and it will undoubtedly give him a confidence boost as he heads into the next race.
