Points leader Max Verstappen finished fifth and has now gone three races without a victory.
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri of Australia celebrates on the podium after winning the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix race at the Hungaroring racetrack in Mogyorod, Hungary, Sunday, July 21, 2024. BUDAPEST — Australian driver Oscar Piastri won his first Formula One race after teammate Lando Norris handed him back the lead to complete a McLaren one-two at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.
“This is the day I dreamed of as a kid, standing on the top step of the podium,” the 23-year-old Piastri said. “A bit complicated at the end, but I put myself in a good position off the start.Lewis Hamilton finished third behind the papaya-colored pair for his record-extending 200th career podium. As the laps ticked by and Norris didn’t budge, McLaren told Piastri that he could get back in front when he caught up with Norris. Finally, the team turned to pleading with Norris just to let Piastri by.
Lando had no harsh words before stepping onto the second spot on the winner’s podium, even though he had come so close to adding to his maiden F1 win in Miami in May — and to chipping further into Verstappen’s advantage in the standings. Piastri, for his part, took a long breath when asked how he spent the 20-laps trailing Norris before admitting it was an anxious spell.
Piastri was a champion in F3 and F2 before he made the jump to the motorsport’s elite competition last season with McLaren. It was the Melbourne native’s first victory in 35 F1 races. He finished runner-up twice recently, in Monaco and Austria. His previous biggest F1 achievement was winning the sprint race at Qatar in 2023.
