The Hungarian Grand Prix brought up some big talking points after Lando Norris took his first win of the season in a race where his teammate Oscar Piastri suffered misfortune. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton was left unhappy at a questionable late pit stop which resulted in him getting a penalty for speeding in the pitlane. So here are the main stories from July 26. Lando Norris wins the Hungarian Grand Prix
Reigning champion Norris
won the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, as he capitalised on a collision involving his teammate Oscar Piastri and his former teammate Carlos Sainz.
Piastri had been leading the race after passing Lando Norris on the opening lap, although the Brit was frustrated running behind his teammate, as he felt like he had much superior pace. The race turned on its head after Piastri made his second pitstop.
Sainz turned in on Piastri and made contact with the McLaren driver, causing the Australian to lose crucial time, helping Norris pit and rejoin the track in the net lead of the race. Norris never looked back and pulled a healthy lead, while
Piastri suffered more misfortune and retired with a gearbox issue.
Max Verstappen crossed the line in second, while Kimi Antonelli extended his championship lead to 50 points over Lewis Hamilton, who finished fifth after receiving a five second penalty which relegated him behind teammate Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton unhappy with Ferrari pit stop decision
Hamilton feels he could have finished at least in the final podium position if it was not for
Ferrari's decision to pit him under the Virtual Safety Car. That very pit stop saw the seven-time world champion receive a five-second penalty for pit lane speeding, dropping him to P5.
The seven-time world champion was running in P2 and feels like he would not have finished lower than third, as Verstappen was closing up on soft tyres towards the end of the race.
He told Sky F1: "Yeah, I definitely don't think we should have taken the stop. But the call came literally just before the pit lane entry and I didn't have time to debate and you've got to trust the decision that has been taken.
"In hindsight, my tyres were totally fine. I was probably going to lose out to Max but I think I could have kept third at least. Then just opened up the door to obviously the penalty that I got in the end."
