Hello and a very warm welcome to the Late Breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eed, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hawking, today reviewing the last race before the summer break. That being the Hungarian Grand Prix, won for the first time this year by the reigning world champion, Lando Norris. And not only his first win of the season, uh, the team's first Grand Prix victory as well. Uh, of course, converting that pole position. Position. Um, before we get into it, I I I guess that would be the simple overview, Sam, but that maybe doesn't explain everything that happened today. That's soaked Formula One this season to be like, Oh yeah, on the surface, really simple normal. Yeah, yeah, don't bother. You actually like just open the first page of the book and it's like, oh good lord, what's going on in here?
Um, it was a bit bizarre, it was a bit chaotic. McLaren bring upgrade. McLaren make upgrade go good. It was suddenly very, very quick. Um, yeah, okay. Three different constructor wings so far this season. That's what we like to see. Harry Eid, how are you? Um, I'm good, thank you. Uh I was gonna say uh really enjoyed the fact that last week Sam was adamant that uh McLaren and L just a third place team next weekend win. Almost a one two. And they took that personal. They've actually gone to the opposite of consistency. They've gone for either we win or retire, and there's nothing in between. We don't do this middle third place now. Yeah. I kinda respect that. Yeah, an interesting day, uh indeed. Who knew so many different tire strategies could cause an interesting Grand Prix?
No not us. Not us. We we were behind the curve on that. We really were. Um very they were not behind the curve on that. We are the curve. We are the curve. You're on us. Hashtag that. We are the curve. Um We've got plenty to get to today. Moment of the race, of course. Driver of the day, worst driver of the day coming up later on in the show. Um, everything to do with Ferrari, the way in which Red Bull managed to get a second place via Max Verstappen. But let's start with McLaren, because for a large part of this Grand Prix, it didn't just look like they were going to win this race. It looked like they were gonna secure a one-two finish, which we haven't seen many of this year, even from Mercedes. Um, but McLaren was shaping up to get that result until Oscar Piastri's gearbox broke, causing him to be one of the very few DNFs from this Grand Prix and Lando Norris out in front already by that point, uh able to extend the advantage over everyone else and claim the win.
Um Papaya rules plus Hungary, Sam, is a combination that we have seen before. We've seen it again. Um, before we get into maybe the strategic element of this, the only reason that was a discussion, you could say, was because of what happened on that first lap where Lando Norris lost the lead going through turn two. Um, your thoughts on how that played out? Yeah, I wanna give Lando a lot of credit for the pure pace that he had in this Grand Prix today. He was electric fast. It was so good to see him flat out, Lando at his best, the car working with him. But he did moan quite a bit over the radio. And I must say that, you know, the only reason for moaning is because you mucked up turn two. Uh, you've kind of got yourself to blame for that.
And I do fully put that on him. Oscar Piastri, who started P three after we had all the penalties, he initially qualified P five, of course, where Anskelli goes back, Hamilton goes back, he gets elevated, has a stormer of a start and manages to get in front of his teammate in the mistake from turn two.
