“This is really the day I dreamed of as a kid. It was a bit complicated at the end,” said Piastri, referring to the repeated demands from the team to Norris to let him through for the win

Oscar Piastri took his maiden Formula One win in Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix with Lando Norris in second for a McLaren 1-2.
Mercedes’s Lewis Hamilton completed the podium at the Hungaroring where McLaren locked out the front row of the grid for the first time since 2012. “Amazing day for us as a team. Oscar controlled the race and he deserved it today,” said Norris, who had been urged by his team to let Piastri through in the closing laps.
