Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff was left downbeat after a tough Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, where he admitted that the Silver Arrows were always playing ‘catch up’ against their ever-improving rivals.

Andrea Stella has praised the "respectful approach" between McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as they battled for victory in last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen finished second in the Hungarian Grand Prix, pulling off one of the moves of the day on Lewis Hamilton as he bagged his fourth podium finish of the season. But while that overtake certainly played a part in the Dutchman’s result, so did Red Bull’s strategy calls.

Fred Vasseur believes that "everything went wrong" for Ferrari in last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, as both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton failed to reach the podium.

The battle between Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad has been an entertaining aspect of the 2026 season thus far. A responsive split-strategy gamble helped them maximise their points haul in Hungary.

Nico Hulkenberg admits scoring points for Audi this season has "been a long time coming", as the German finally finished inside the top 10 in last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

George Russell was left to reflect on another dramatic weekend in his “rollercoaster” 2026 season at the Hungarian Grand Prix, admitting afterwards that the summer break “probably couldn’t come at a better time”.

Lando Norris got out of his McLaren on Friday disappointed. His car had been upgraded this weekend as part of the team’s attempt to turn their title-defending season around, but ending the day half a second off the pace looked more like a minor step than a game-changing one. Then the wind changed.

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.
After snatching pole position by 0.012s over Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, Norris lost the lead to Piastri on lap one as he slid on the dirty outside line in Hamilton corner.
The Briton easily kept up with the sister ...Keep reading
