00:00Five red lights in Budapest and the Hungarian Grand Prix is underway.
00:06Off the line we go, poor start for George Russell, he's fading back out front.
00:09McLaren vs. McLaren, Lando Norris vs. Oscar Piastri.
00:13Charles Leclerc has not got the good getaway, Lewis Hamilton trying to go around the outside,
00:16but he's matched Verstappen to P3, can he put pressure on P2?
00:19It's Lando Norris who has the lead, Piastri climbs up to second and they go side by side.
00:24They're racing each other once again.
00:25Lando Norris is wide, Oscar Piastri is going through to take the lead.
00:32Piastri improves from third on the grid, what intent.
00:35Norris got wide onto the dust, it's still a McLaren 1-2, but it's the Australian driver who leads.
00:41Yeah, and there was some contact there between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
00:44Once again, Lewis risking all, he's now going to leave his inside open to Charles Leclerc.
00:49Charles Leclerc will have to be to the inside, he knows he's racing his teammate.
00:52Oh, they're fighting each other really hard as well with Antonelli just behind,
00:56but Hamilton's made that move on the fresh tyres, the new tyres there.
01:00So Leclerc has lost out a lot and Ferrari generally not making anything work on that softer rubber.
01:07You can see Hadjar taking avoiding action in the middle of the pack and then poor launch off the line
01:12for Charles Leclerc.
01:12Yeah, and he was already having to swerve around trying to keep Verstappen at bay who started from fourth and
01:17the dirty side of the grid.
01:18So the Ferraris get very close there.
01:20Hamilton's around the outside and it allows Verstappen to just sneak up the inside as the red cars are racing
01:25each other.
01:26So right now you've got Norris in the lead of the race still, but he doesn't decelerate in towards turn
01:30two.
01:31Piastri does a lovely dummy, goes to the outside, has the grip from the racing line and gets the car
01:36turned at that point,
01:37leaving Lando going wide as we get George Russell's anti-stool and then just a load of hope that you
01:42don't get clattered from those behind.
01:44Look how dirty it is though on the inside.
01:45That's what Leclerc and co on that inside line were combating.
01:51Lewis Hamilton comes into the pits.
01:53He can wait no longer behind the Red Bull and he will go on to fresh rubber.
01:58He comes in, gets the hard tyres and this is a critical outlap for him.
02:04Hamilton trying to go around the outside and he gets the move done at turn number five.
02:09Doing it old school, using the fresh rubber.
02:12Hamilton knows he needed to get that done.
02:15In comes Verstappen, it's got to be a slick stop then from Red Bull.
02:18This is huge for Lewis Hamilton's chances of contending for victory and putting pressure on McLaren.
02:25Verstappen on the left hand side in the navy Red Bull.
02:27The scarlet Ferrari is approaching.
02:30Hamilton's got the speed.
02:31Hamilton gets the apex first and takes the position.
02:34And the key was passing Lindblad where he did at turn five.
02:37That was Hamilton's best middle sector of the race, going round a racing bull on the outside line there at
02:43turn five.
02:48Verstappen from nowhere, from miles back.
02:51What a move from the four-time champ.
02:54Hamilton cleared Lawson, Verstappen cleared Lawson and then Hamilton.
03:00All of the great work on that outlap is undone.
03:03How did he stop that car?
03:05Well, that was quite special.
03:06I don't want to complain, but that was again moving on the braking.
03:10I mean, it's a high section, but it's not right.
03:13It looks like another set of hards from what I can see from the comm box.
03:17Brand new, but yeah, it is.
03:19So it's not that he's not happy with that particular compound, but do they do an offset in the front
03:24wing?
03:24I didn't see an adjustment.
03:26I'm Biles Foster.
03:28I'm Philando 10-6.
03:30Crucial moment of the race for McLaren.
03:32They need a clean stop with Piastri, who was brought in.
03:36And now, Philando Norris, it's time to prove what you told the team you could do and open up the
03:42gap.
03:44Piastri in a nightmare of traffic.
03:46He's got a battle ahead of him, and they're not looking at the blue flags.
03:49And look at how...
03:50Oh, contact!
03:51Unbelievable!
03:52Oscar Piastri has contact with the Williams, and Oscar Piastri was impeded there.
03:58Look at what that's done to his race.
04:01Oh, get out of the way, Carlos Sainz.
04:03What... what's he doing?
04:05What is he doing?
04:06Hey, don't you want to get out of the way it is?
04:13Oh, my God.
04:16There are blue flags there.
04:17That is not good enough.
04:19Oh, and he nearly dropped it by being forced on the curve as well.
04:22Look at this moment.
04:24Being put into the pack has hurt Piastri.
04:27He's lucky to still be in the Grand Prix.
04:29After contact with a back marker, Lando Norris looking for that clean stop.
04:33It will be track position for the world champion.
04:35And that will be the move that Norris wanted, and it will be plain fury for Oscar Piastri.
04:42Who's behind his teammate?
04:45It's the first time I can remember a back marker intervening with the result of a race since Ocon hitting
04:51Verstappen.
04:52And before that, Jos Verstappen hit one Pablo Montoya.
04:56That's a late lunge from a decisive driver.
05:00The world champion tries to go through.
05:02Antonelli is trying to join that club this year, and the 19-year-old goes,
05:06OK, I'm going to carry on with it.
05:08Norris wants that Grand Prix victory, and he has the race lead on lap 46 of 70.
05:15But can't we go until 10?
05:17We don't think we have a tire life.
05:18He goes for the hard tires, and Antonelli was pleading to go along on his favorite compounded tire.
05:25Mercedes don't believe they'd have any rubber left.
05:29He's stopping. Oscar Piastri is slowing from second place.
05:34Hamilton goes through. Verstappen goes through.
05:37And a day that looked like it might bring home victory ends on lap 56.
05:43Yeah, this will be a virtual at the very minimum.
05:47Here's the race leader. On to the soft tires.
05:50The virtual safety car is out.
05:52So it's the chance for Hamilton to put on a new set of tires, go to the end and be
05:57aggressive.
05:58Will Antonelli get ahead of the Ferrari? He will.
06:01Look at that timing, though, at the Mini sector. 0.0.
06:04Hamilton now goes ahead.
06:06We need to see that replay because it's decided by the white line across the racetrack on pit exit.
06:13Well, I think I was ahead.
06:14Yeah, we're just talking it through. We think we were.
06:18And he chooses to give back the place.
06:22Final race before the summer break. A mandated two-week shutdown.
06:27Still, the lap traffic is struggling to get out of the way, and it brings Hamilton and Antonelli together.
06:33And for those who say get rid of the blue flags, welcome to what it would look like.
06:39Hamilton is trying to get past Antonelli, but he's got a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
06:48He's had to deal this year with so much unreliability, but the updated McLaren is going to get there.
06:55They are already mighty around this racetrack.
06:58They're going to win here for the 14th time, and Lando Norris wins the Hungarian Grand Prix for his first
07:05Grand Prix victory of the season, and his first Grand Prix victory as world champion.
07:10And if you ever need an instruction, a race to show you not to give up in Formula One, here's
07:16second place for Max Verstappen, who just refused to leave the fight.
07:20Kimi Antonelli completes the podium to extend his lead in the World Championship.
07:26And with the penalty applied for Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc managed to stay within five seconds.
07:31He finishes in fourth place.
07:33Lewis Hamilton drops down to fifth after a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
07:38Well done, mate. Well done.
07:40Woo!
07:42The car was unbelievable today. Well done, guys. Incredible. I love you all.
07:48His first victory since Sao Paulo at the back end of last season, and that is a while to wait.
07:55It was the 9th of November the last time he stood on the top step.
07:58It's a great Lando Norris circuit. He's always gone really well in Budapest, and he takes another win. Back-to
08:04-back wins here.
