Lando Norris initially doubted McLaren’s strategy in the Hungarian Grand Prix, but smart tyre conservation and fending off his team-mate helped him secure his ninth career win and McLaren’s 200th in F1. This victory reduced his deficit to Piastri in the Drivers’ Championship to just nine points before the summer break. Norris described the win as unique and rewarding, especially because his strategy differed from his rivals. He admitted that he was skeptical about the one-stop strategy initially but gained confidence as the race progressed. Norris believed a late Safety Car would be his best chance of winning, but the strategy ultimately paid off, giving him a memorable victory.
