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.

Lando Norris held off McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and slash the Australian's Formula One lead to nine points after completing more than half the race on a single set of hard tyres.

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.
