00:00and it's lights out away we go here in the hungaro ring and leclerc gets away well but lando norris now switching to the inside to try and get past his teammate oscar piastri piastri covers him off leclerc into turn one around the outside george russell's trying to make an impact lando norris could lose a place here to the fast starting fernando alonso in the aston martin leclerc down to turn two has oscar piastri behind him then george russell on the inside is fernando alonso on the outside is lando norris and alonso has got that move done
00:30the only driver on the grid not to lose a place on the opening lap this season and he's gained a place on lando there towards the end of stints as down the inside goes max verstappen and wow i don't think lance stroll saw him coming until late i'm sure max let's get through these asap but we can see lando norris making an early move towards the inside yeah lando moving a lot that can be quite risky on the grid but he obviously and then he was uh unfortunately for him he braked quite early and they were steaming around
00:59the outside and this is where he effectively lost two places oscar piastri also under a lot of pressure from george russell so the mclaren's not firing their tires up particularly well others just more aggressive more racy there george russell had a massive
01:15overstair slide through turn three that would have caught his attention this is fernando alonso with george russell to his right hand side russell looking to force his way
01:26into a gap and does so successfully and alonso's thinking okay you go and do that i've still got a mclaren that i can take
01:32this is this is the problem that mclaren have with their rules
01:36oscar some competitors are talking about a one stop do you think one stop may be possible
01:40i mean it's still okay for now
01:43man it's difficult to know with this many laps to go
01:46yeah understood the pirellis they've made them much more durable haven't they they don't grain up as much
01:53this is what they're talking about for the gravel and what it does is hits you on the fingers
01:58on the back of the steering wheel his tires start to grain up as a result this is hulkenberg at the
02:04start okay nico we have a five second time penalty we're moving before the start signal five second time
02:12really i'm not aware of that united pick from my side
02:17did it just lurch forward a little bit when he he put it into the history who's coming in first to
02:23overtake the flag box to overtake the flag
02:26so this is the undercut for oscar piastri on charles leclerc hard tires are going on lando norris has to
02:35stay out mclaren couldn't double stack there wasn't a big enough gap between their two drivers
02:40and is he coming out behind alonso yes oscar piastri will come out behind fernando alonso
02:47but ahead of gabriel bortoletto this is the battle for the lead george russell is in the pits lando
02:54norris will move into the lead of this race but the net leads will either be charles leclerc or oscar
03:00piastri piastri's down the main straight as russell now stops alonso is ahead of charles
03:06leclerc there he goes piastri is behind charles leclerc so the warm-up on the hard tires wasn't
03:13sufficient enough for oscar to bang in the lap that he needed and russell comes out ahead of
03:18lance strong so this is nico hulkenberg on yuki sunoda uh making a move for 14th place very nice
03:25indeed that's charles leclerc locking up on those new fresh hard compound tires there is no movement
03:33whatsoever in that mclaren garage this is how george russell got past gabriel bortoletto whose
03:38tires look pretty angry uh to be honest yeah i can't feel what we discussed before the race
03:45we need to discuss those things before doing those cryptic from charles leclerc we're considering
03:53the one stop it would be 40 laps on a hard tire team for it yeah right now we are going to lose this
04:00race with these things we always need so much time so what what is causing charles leclerc to think
04:07that they're going to lose this race the staffer i can see is having to go down the inside turn four
04:12and hamilton's wide back to you momentarily crofty they they must have touched there or hamilton saw
04:18it coming and took to the runoff we'll have a look from a different camera angle definitely have more
04:24pace than hamilton in the ferrari down the inside he goes not sure they did touch no it's a still really
04:33good lap times george just keep banging on this let me drive
04:36kimmy raikkonen reply from george russell and gives you a little bit more instant grip
04:43that's a lot of gravel um but most of his tire was on the curve for his box to overtake this lap
04:50box to overtake leclerc so 1.6 seconds uh was the gap at the end of lap 39 1.48 seconds
04:58uh was the gap at the end of lap 40 and charles leclerc is coming in so mclaren came out oscar
05:05piastri has stayed out that has now forced ferrari into pitting charles leclerc to cover off what they
05:13thought was oscar piastri pitting but he didn't okay max so bortoletto and lawson have now pitted
05:18we are considering leaving you out here okay well it's not gonna be easy no i know we're monitoring
05:26it that might be our best opportunity but like i said we are monitoring it lando norris takes the
05:33lead of this race charles leclerc is flying down the main straight another great stop for the mclaren
05:38team 1.9 seconds but there's your gap you just see charles leclerc disappearing out of sight as
05:43oscar piastri rejoins in third it's important that piastri gets an overtake done early hamilton on the
05:51medium tire gets past pierre gasly on the medium tire hamilton's had his on for six laps 16 laps for
05:57pierre gasly hamilton moves up into 14th and we'll try and make a few more places up as well as hulkenberg
06:04goes wide and goes wide in his pursuit of yuki sonoda and he's he's heading to a car park down
06:10there there's absolutely no grip on the runoff area drs now for oscar piastri first chance he's had
06:18to overtake charles leclerc and he takes it into turn one piastri is past that ferrari and that is
06:26the first chance in this race he's had an opportunity to get at the ferrari it was key and he got it done
06:33this is so incredibly frustrating we've lost all competitiveness you just have to listen to me i
06:38would have found a different way of managing those issues now now it's just undrivable undrivable
06:46it's a miracle if we finish on the podium and he's right in that because george russell's a second a
06:50lap faster here today george russell goes down the inside not quite enough there for charles leclerc
06:57uh to be vulnerable from the mercedes to any contact leclerc covered it off well that was
07:03moving and the breaking i committed and he made the final breaking he's clearly not allowed i've seen
07:13worse keep cool mate you you'll get i've seen worse but clearly george russell agitated by that
07:19let's see what happens this time down the straight we go 195 96 miles an hour
07:24that was moving that was moving under breaking yeah once twice but george russell does get through
07:31and russell takes that third place and we'll see from on high george russell was coming from a long
07:37way back but he's got over 20 kilometers an hour extra pace there charles goes once
07:41charles goes twice and george stopped with it and charles realized if he carried on for a third time
07:47there was contact there and it might be the end of his race let alone the end of his podium chances yeah he
07:51waited till russell made the move and then just went and squeezed him so
07:57flash that's the penalty
08:03and it's an agitated george russell and i can understand why leclerc is under investigation
08:09for the moving under breaking max verstappen getting a little bit squirrelly going into turn one behind
08:15uh liam lawson yeah liam lawson the racing balls ahead of max verstappen in the red bull this is pierre
08:21gasly and niko hulkenberg oh neat move there from hulkenberg slipstream drs is he going to lunge down
08:28into one he lunges he locks up he got close but he was a long long way back when he made that lunge
08:36and i thought for one moment he was just going to set this up not for last lap lando but for last lap
08:41piastry to see just how close it was once again as he made that big lunge and then locked up and four
08:48that could have taken the front wing off yeah so lando had already started breaking
08:54remember how we go racing same reminder oscar here in 2025 it is win number 200 for the mclaren team
09:04and it's victory for lando norris here in hungary oscar piastry comes home to finish second it's a one
09:11two for the team and papaya norris got the win that he much needed heading into the summer break piastry
09:19gave it absolutely everything roll on the rest of the season if that is what mclaren are going to
09:25deliver that was tremendous wasn't it yes yes yes mega job mate mega job lovely
09:33good good good stuff great racing uh we're going to shut down still leading the both championships
