McLaren's Lando Norris has won the Hungarian Grand Prix by recovering from a suboptimal start with a perfectly executed single-stop strategy. Piastri came a close but disappointed second after being unable to pass his teammate in the closing laps. Russell completed the podium as pole sitter Leclerc struggled with car issues.
It's not the first time that we've seen this from Leclerc. He drove into the side of Norris in Spain during free practice because he was upset that Norris impeded him.
Yes, because of all the bad luck he had today, some leniency of penalty is not something most people care to argue about (unlike you)AR3-GP wrote: ↑03 Aug 2025, 20:41It's not the first time that we've seen this from Leclerc.

I'm wondering how Leclerc only got 5 seconds today? Not that it makes a difference to the running order, but what could possibly have mitigated the standard 10 second penalty? The first time was a bit naughty but the 2nd time was slam dunk and also deliberate.
If a different driver had done this, this thread would have tripled in page count.
