00:00So, one car down, two ahead, he split the pack, but the both McLarens are through.
00:07And the gap now, under one second, Oscar Piastri is in DRS range of Lando Norris.
00:14What Lando might be a bit grateful of, has some DRS down the pit straight from the back markers, to help his defence.
00:24Norris, Piastri, Hamilton the car behind, down in 12, Drivers' Championship.
00:30As it stands, as I mentioned, nine points between Piastri and Norris, but that will then swing to 23, if Oscar Piastri can get past his team-mate at McLaren.
00:41Hadjar's now been given the blue flag as well. He's obliged to get out of the way within three Marshalls' posts.
00:49They'll have to yield down the pit straight and let the leader through, if he's staying anywhere near them, through the final corner.
00:54They're busy racing each other with their DRS wide open. And look at that, Piastri with DRS 2 now.
01:01Yeah, Lando hasn't got it. Closes now. Five laps to go. Oscar Piastri did have the DRS gap down to half a second.
01:09Out of the way, the racing balls of Isaac Hadjar allows himself to be lapped and lets these two through.
01:15McLaren going for another one-two finish. McLaren going for a 200th Grand Prix win.
01:21And this may be a foretaste of what is to come for the rest of the season now.
01:26Norris and Piastri here in the closing stages, separated by six tenths on different strategies today.
01:33Little to choose between them in the race and giving it everything.
01:36Critical moments, this. The World Championship could hang on moments like this.
01:41It's a 14-point swing, as you said earlier on, as to which one finishes ahead of the other.
01:47And it's such a crucial time as well. Going into that summer break, no action for a few weeks and plenty of time to contemplate what's going on.
01:55He had some overtaking today, Oscar Piastri, after he made his second pit stop.
02:00He said, I don't care about Charles Leclerc. It's the delta between me and my teammate that I care about.
02:06And he is going to be closer than ever before at the end of this corner.
02:09No more traffic now until the end of the Grand Prix.
02:13Lando Norris has led on a one-stop strategy for quite some time.
02:19How long is that lead going to last here?
02:21Piastri is catching him, is catching him, is catching him, but is not close enough.
02:26It's still that half a second gap going into turn two.
02:30Piastri, with those tyres, with the tyre advantage that he's got, will come off the final corner with more grip.
02:37Will have the slipstream and the DRS.
02:40Norris' best chance now, he's not going to get DRS from any backmarkers now.
02:45His best chance is just to save his battery and punch it down the main straights.
02:50He's got to use, as you say, Martin, that extra energy from the override button on his battery to offset the DRS advantage that his teammate gets.
03:00And McLaren don't get the biggest DRS advantage of the cars.
03:05Around about 20 kilometres an hour, some will be getting more.
03:08It's just the way the McLaren wing is, as we look from that rear wing of Lando Norris.
03:14And it's a time for a cool, calm head as well.
03:17And fair play to both drivers here.
03:19They're keeping a very cool, calm head.
03:21Norris, who dropped places at the start of this race, has valiantly fought his way back.
03:26But he's on tyres that have done half the Grand Prix.
03:3035 laps.
03:31Meanwhile, 10-second time penalty for Pierre Gasly for causing a collision.
03:37He's down in 17th.
03:38Here's the battle for the lead once again.
03:41We're on lap 68.
03:42Down towards Turn 1 we go.
03:44Piastri hasn't been this close before.
03:46They all stand to see what's happened.
03:49And he just emerges the wrong side of the lead for the Australian out of Turn 1.
03:54Bit of a dress rehearsal for where's the breaking point down the inside into Turn 1, wasn't it?
03:58Lando's going to have to keep it tight on the right-hand side, but it's so dirty over there.
04:04But as we saw with Piastri before when he went past Leclerc, he's very happy with some late breaking down the outside too.
04:11But Norris driving beautifully.
04:13They're both driving beautifully.
04:14They're pushing the absolute limit of the car and of the racetrack.
04:20Oscar Piastri is going to get two more chances down into Turn 1.
04:23There's a headwind down into Turn 1 to help overtaking, but it will also help Lando B that little bit later on his breaks to try and maintain that lead.
04:35What a sight this must be for the likes of Zac Brown and Andrea Stella.
04:41His McLaren team currently 20 seconds ahead of the best of the rest, which today is George Russell.
04:47They're dominating this race and we still don't know who's going to win.
04:51Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it? And they're letting them race.
04:53A lot of teams in the past would have called this off 10 laps ago.
04:57He's a long way. It's a great exit there for Lando Norris, but Slipstream, DRS.
05:02Is he going to lunge down into one?
05:05He lunges. He locks up.
05:07He got close, but he was a long, long way back when he made that lunge.
05:11And I thought for one moment he was just going to set this up, not for last lap, Lando, but for last lap Piastri.
05:17It's given him a bit of a reprieve, Lando Norris, the lock up on the front axle.
05:21So we saw the rehearsal, the lap before, didn't we?
05:24Yeah.
05:25And he threw it in there, but he knows the rules.
05:29You can race as hard as you like.
05:31Do not run into each other.
05:32And that's definitely given Lando Norris a bit of very welcome breathing space.
05:37We don't want to see any coming together, any damage as Axel Rose, has he got appetite for destruction today?
05:45As he gets ready to wave that chequered flag.
05:48We can see just how close it was once again as he made that big lunge and then locked up.
05:54Oh, that could have taken the front wing off.
05:56Yeah.
05:57So Lando had already started breaking when the lunge started.
06:01Remember how we go racing?
06:03Seven finder, Oscar.
06:06Oscar's got his head down and he wants that first place.
06:09Lando's got his head down and he wants to hold on to that first place.
06:13It's been a brilliant strategy, this.
06:14This is going to be close.
06:15He's closer.
06:16This is going to be close at the end of the straight.
06:18He is closer.
06:19That front lock up lost four tenths, but he's come back once again.
06:23He's going to go for it.
06:24Piastri from late.
06:25He's a bit too far behind and Lando had it covered off going into turn one.
06:29So on the last lap here, the big threat has been negated.
06:35Charles Leclerc, meanwhile, has got a five second time penalty for driving erratically.
06:39It's not going to affect his fourth place.
06:41He's comfortably clear on Fernando Alonso.
06:43Can Piastri catch Norris by surprise as they head towards turn four?
06:48He's a bit too far away.
06:50There's probably one more chance to get an overtake done here in the turn 12.
06:54Piastri with a little wobble in the middle of turn four as well.
06:56They're right on the edge of the racetrack.
06:58There's not really down into 12, down into T12, but it's such a short breaking distance there.
07:06And as long as he's error free, Norris has got the track position he needs.
07:13They are the most successful team at the Hungaro ring.
07:16Twelve wins before today.
07:18Win number 13 is coming their way on what is the 40th anniversary of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
07:24This has been a super charge to the finish line for McLaren.
07:29Debut in 1966, here in 2025.
07:32It is win number 200 for the McLaren team.
07:36And it's victory for Lando Norris here in Hungary.
07:39Oscar Piastri comes home to finish second.
07:42It's a one-two for the team and Papaya.
07:45Norris got the win that he much needed heading into the summer break.
07:50Piastri gave it absolutely everything.
07:52Roll on the rest of the season if that is what McLaren are going to deliver.
