Oscar Piastri denied that a late lock-up cost him the victory in the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix when battling Lando Norris for the lead. Despite sticking to a two-stop strategy, he attempted to make a move on his one-stop strategy team-mate towards the end of the race. Piastri’s attempt to pass Norris on the 69th lap nearly resulted in a collision, with Norris ultimately securing McLaren’s 200th Grand Prix win. Piastri mentioned that the lock-up did not significantly impact the outcome of the race in his opinion.
