Lando Norris delivered McLaren's first victory of the season at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.
McLaren appeared on course for a 1-2 finish before Oscar Piastri retired in the closing stages of the race. Piastri, who took the lead on Lap 1, lost ground to his teammate after Carlos Sainz made contact with him, giving Norris the time needed to emerge ahead of him after a pit stop.

Max Verstappen finished second behind Norris while championship leader Kimi Antonelli rounded out the podium in third. The Dutch driver has stood on the podium in back-to-back races after also standing on the top steps in Spa.
Charles Leclerc inherited fourth after Lewis Hamilton received a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane, dropping him to fifth.
Antonelli increased his championship lead over Hamilton and teammate George Russell, who finished seventh after an issue at the start dropped him to the rear of the field. The Italian teenager is 50 points clear of Hamilton and holds a 59-point advantage over Russell.
Nico Hulkenberg also scored his first points of the season for Audi, finishing ninth.
The Hungarian GP was Formula 1's last race before the summer break. The season resumes with the Dutch GP on Aug. 23.
