00:00Through four decades here, we've witnessed first-time winners, championships won,
00:04incredible underdog stories, and the upending of the expected order time and time again.
00:12One, two, three, four, five red lights in Budapest,
00:18and the Hungarian Grand Prix is underway, even reaction time,
00:23and Lando Norris has got to run, P3 man has got to run on his championship rival,
00:26Charles Leclerc is trying to break the toe, Norris won't go for it to the inside, might be compromised,
00:31George Russell is up to third, can he keep it? Yes, he can keep it, he gets the power down
00:35and he gets by,
00:36worst case scenario for Lando Norris, might be about to get even worse as well,
00:40Lando Norris has got Fernando Alonso going to the inside, can Alonso make it even worse?
00:45He's challenging George Russell, tyre warm-up is going to be crucial here,
00:48and Norris dips down, he's down to fifth, Piastri in second, Charles Leclerc leads.
00:53It initially looked like Lando had the best of the starts and went immediately attacking to the inside,
00:58I wonder if he lifted off or missed an upshift, because suddenly it had no momentum
01:02and was just gobbled up by Russell and Alonso.
01:07Great start for Norris, just didn't go anywhere.
01:10No, so they're weaving around, and then Lando breaks so early for the first corner as well,
01:15didn't want to do the Valtteri Bottas move from a few years ago and go temping bowling down there.
01:21Max Verstappen's trying to line up Liam Lawson, junior team versus senior team,
01:25and that won't take long for Verstappen to get by, he's trying to improve, back up to eighth.
01:29Former teammates this year, and Lawson surely isn't going to fight that.
01:32No, Max, incisive, straight up the inside and feeling a lot more confidence than Liam in these early laps.
01:40He is tucked in behind Fernando Alonso, there he goes, he's going to be really close.
01:44Okay, he's got the DRS, this is crucial for Lando Norris, it doesn't look like it's going to be a
01:47contest,
01:48he needed that, he's got it, up to P4 for the man's second in the points battle to win the
01:52Drivers' Championship.
01:55So Verstappen recovering the position is the latest development inside the top ten,
02:00we've also had Lando Norris recover, look at that, late on the breaks,
02:03you don't get many moves into the chicane, Max Verstappen has two in two laps, bold stuff.
02:11Big call from McLaren, big in-lap required for Oscar Piastri, huge pressure on the shoulders of the pit crew.
02:17Punchy stuff, but it's a brilliant stop, that look, he was barely stationary at all there,
02:22Piastri who rejoined the circuit.
02:26Stops on the marks, it's clean for Ferrari.
02:29And it was 22 seconds when he peeled to the pit stop and they've matched it when they needed to.
02:33Exceptional from Leclerc.
02:35Turn one, and he's covered him, he's covered him, Ferrari under pressure,
02:39and Charles Leclerc with the lock-up, he's going to have to bring these tyres into the temperature window,
02:43George Russell rejoins as well.
02:47No, guys, it's really terrible, this idea of pitting so much.
02:51Remember, he's trying to undercut Bortoleto and Alonso.
02:55That's why Red Bull pitted him.
02:56Verstappen was frustrated in behind Gabriel Bortoleto in that first stint,
03:01so now they've pitted him into what they hoped would be clear air,
03:04but yeah, he's not actually going any quicker than Bortoleto or Alonso at the moment.
03:09George Russell making his way in close proximity to the Aston Martin ahead.
03:14Oh, and they nearly made contact there on the way down to turn two.
03:18Alonso yet to pit, Russell trying to reclaim the place,
03:21and that was closer than it needed to be.
03:25So, Lando, we're considering the one-stop.
03:27It'll be 40 laps on a hard tyre.
03:29Keen for it?
03:30Yeah, why not?
03:32Yeah, they're going for it now,
03:33and that means he's going to pit in a couple of laps,
03:35according to the very uncoded message there from Will Joseph.
03:39Max Verstappen trying to get past Lewis Hamilton,
03:42and in the battle for the net race lead,
03:44you're looking at the battery deployment on the right-hand side of your picture.
03:47Leclerc up against Oscar Piastri,
03:49and Max Verstappen's got the inside line!
03:51My word!
03:52That is a fast corner to try that move!
03:55Hamilton goes off the road,
03:57Verstappen gains the place,
03:58and that could have been even more spectacular than it was!
04:03This is enormous speed.
04:05Max Verstappen risking it to the inside.
04:08That is crazy close for a corner of that speed.
04:14Lighting it up as he comes in.
04:16He hits his marks.
04:17Every second is going to be useful here.
04:19Brilliant standard in the pit lane today
04:21between McLaren and Ferrari.
04:25Box to overtake this lap.
04:26Box to overtake Leclerc.
04:27And he does the opposite of the man coming into the pits,
04:30who is Charles Leclerc in the Scarlet Ferrari.
04:32So Ferrari react.
04:34They take the bait from McLaren.
04:35Is it going to be as good a stop?
04:37It certainly is.
04:38That is a well-oiled machine now down in the garage.
04:42So Oscar, Leclerc is going to be
04:44four or five seconds ahead of our pit window.
04:47I don't really care about Leclerc,
04:48but it's not the best chance to try and beat Leclerc.
04:51Oh, that's late on the brakes of Kimi Antonelli.
04:54And he gets past Carlos Sainz.
04:56Piastri's in.
04:56Piastri comes in.
04:58He doesn't care about the Ferrari.
04:59He cares about Lando Norris.
05:01He leaves the pits.
05:02And the gap is 12 seconds between the top two
05:05in the World Championship.
05:08Piastri's on fire here.
05:09He's screaming up to the back of the Ferrari.
05:12Can he get by?
05:13And how quickly can he get by?
05:15It's a great run here.
05:16He's got so much more grip out of the 14th and final corner.
05:18The Australian driver trying to dive past Charles Leclerc,
05:21who hugs the inside line.
05:23And Piastri will just try and turn it into a grip battle.
05:26He's got more of it.
05:27He's got more speed.
05:28He absolutely sails by.
05:30It's going to be another McLaren 1-2.
05:33The Ferrari couldn't fight.
05:37This is so incredibly frustrating.
05:39We've lost all competitiveness.
05:41You just have to listen to me.
05:42I will have found a different way of managing those issues.
05:46Now it's just undrivable.
05:48It's a miracle if we finish on the podium.
05:50How far does that radio message go?
05:52All the way off the screen.
05:55Russell.
05:56Oh, that's super late on the brakes from Russell,
05:58who tucks back in.
05:59And I've turned the volume down.
06:01That was moving and the braking.
06:02I committed.
06:03It's clearly not allowed.
06:05Keep cool, mate.
06:06You'll get it.
06:08Take two.
06:09One lap later.
06:10And there's the late move.
06:12Pinch to the apex.
06:14Russell gets by.
06:15Charles Leclerc will try the up and under.
06:17That was real brinkmanship between the pair of them.
06:20But Russell gets by.
06:21And he's got DRS to take third position in the Grand Prix.
06:25The first one I thought was acceptable from Leclerc.
06:27I have to say that one was just massive moving on to braking.
06:31Just shutting the door.
06:32And Russell is committed at this point.
06:34And it's difficult to change your line because you're on the limit of grip.
06:37That's the penalty.
06:39Time I did on me.
06:40You were breaking.
06:43The gap is six tenths of a second.
06:45That will decrease all the while.
06:47The Grand Prix victory on the line.
06:49Piastri shaping for it.
06:50Going late.
06:51Locking up.
06:52And he avoids his teammate.
06:54But did that moment cost him the Grand Prix win?
06:57Oh, it's late.
06:58They are so close, aren't they?
07:01Look at this on board.
07:03Nearly the front wing ripped off.
07:05They got away with it.
07:06Remember how we go racing.
07:08Same reminder, Oscar.
07:10The gap in the World Championship will be nine points between the papaya pair for the 200th time in Formula
07:171.
07:18McLaren win.
07:19Lando Norris wins the Hungarian Grand Prix by six tenths of a second.
07:25A brilliant performance from both of them.
07:28But the gap is under 10 points.
07:29And it's Norris punching the air.
07:32Victorious for the first time in Budapest.
07:35Relief on the pit wall for Zac Brown and Andrea Stella.
07:39George Russell takes a podium.
07:40It's a great result for him.
07:41And Leclerc has disappeared behind.
07:44Brilliant battling out front.
07:46It went all the way to the end like we suspected it would.
07:50But today it has been resolved in Lando Norris' favour.
07:55We go into the summer break with nine between the pair of them.
08:00We go into Lando Norris' for the first time in Lando Norris' for the first time in Lando Norris' for
