George Russell suffered a Mercedes Formula 1 engine software issue that put the revs out of control while on the Hungarian Grand Prix grid and triggered his slow start.

Lando Norris claims he was “just better in every sense” relative to McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri on his way to a resounding victory in Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Rivals claim Ferrari has the most agile chassis in Formula 1, if not the best engine or aerodynamics, so its SF-26 is generally expected to shine at circuits where straightline speed is less valuable than an ability to carry high speeds into slow corners.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has explained the Formula 1 squad's thinking behind its second pitstop sequence in the Hungarian Grand Prix amid frustration from Oscar Piastri over his run-in with backmarker Carlos Sainz.

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri was hugely frustrated by being hit by a lapped Carlos Sainz in Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix, but saw no bones in McLaren's strategy.

A sudden, unexpected wave of Formula 1 drivers ignoring blue flags in the Hungarian Grand Prix was caused by a system failure.

The Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix stewards have explained why they were more lenient with Carlos Sainz, issuing only a five-second penalty for his collision with Oscar Piastri.

Lando Norris has won his first grand prix of 2026 at Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix as early leader Oscar Piastri lost the lead due to lapped traffic, and then retired with a gearbox failure.

Andrea Stella has never been one to be tempted down the path of hyperbole and hubris, so it came as little surprise that his response to Lando Norris securing pole position for the Hungarian GP came freighted with caveats.
