McLaren is going for back-to-back success at the Hungarian Grand Prix – but Saturday could be the critical day at the Hungaroring.
During Friday’s F1 practice at the Hungaroring, McLaren once again showed impressive pace, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finishing first and second in both sessions. Norris had a three-tenths gap on Piastri in the second session, particularly excelling in the opening and second sectors. Piastri mounted a comeback in the final sector, but it wasn’t enough to catch Norris. Despite their dominant performance, the Hungarian Grand Prix is expected to be a close battle between the two McLaren drivers. Their contrasting driving styles will require Piastri to make adjustments before Saturday’s crucial qualifying session.
