F1 Hungary: Lando Norris’s “First” as No. 1. Antonelli on the Podium, Another Penalty for Hamilton

For the first time since his McLaren has sported the number 1 on its nose, Lando Norris has won an F1 Grand Prix—and he did so in Hungary, at the Hungaroring circuit. For both the reigning world champion and the Woking-based team, this marks their first victory of the season, reflecting a return to competitiveness after a difficult start to the season. Norris finished ahead of Max Verstappen, who came in second in his Red Bull. Kimi Antonelli finished third and remains comfortably in the lead in the world championship standings.

The driver from Bologna battled Lewis Hamilton in the final stages of the race, but yet another penalty imposed on the British driver in recent weeks— this time for speeding in the pit lane, prevented the Ferrari driver not only from fighting for the podium but also from finishing in fourth place, as Leclerc crossed the line less than 5 seconds behind him, thus overtaking him after the times were recalculated.
