2024 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix Highlights

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after the 2024 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

It’s a tight start. Oscar takes the lead heading into Turn One, and Lando moves down to P3 – passed by Verstappen, who ran wide to take the place. Verstappen is instructed to give the place back to Lando, who takes P2. Lando boxes and swaps to a Hard tyre. He rejoins the track in P5. Oscar boxes a lap later and also brings the Hard tyre. He comes out in P4 just ahead of Lando.

Verstappen and Sainz pit, promoting Oscar and Lando back into the top three. Leclerc now heads into the pit lane, and Oscar is once again the race leader. Lando boxes for a set of Mediums aiming to cover Hamilton. Lando is now in P4 ahead of Hamilton. Oscar boxes and swaps to Mediums coming out just behind Lando. Lando allows Oscar to pass to retake the race lead. Oscar wins his first Grand Prix, and Lando completes the 1-2 in Hungary.

Lando Norris

It was a fantastic day for us as a team, and a huge congratulations to Oscar on his first win. I’m so happy; it’s been a long journey to achieve wins on merit, precisely what we did today. Oscar had a great start and controlled the race from there, so well done to him – it was only a matter of time before he finished first. I can’t thank the team enough for their work and effort in getting us here. Let’s keep pushing and fighting for wins each week.

Oscar Piastri

It is a very, very special day. This is the day I dreamed of as a kid, and standing on the top of an F1 podium with McLaren is just incredible. While it may have been a little complicated at the end, I think we got ourselves into a good position at the start and were in control from there. I want to thank the entire team for a fantastic effort and for giving us such a brilliant car. It’s a hell of a lot of fun racing with McLaren, so I can’t thank the team enough for allowing me to be in F1. To now be winning together 18 months in is an unbelievable feeling.

Andrea Stella

Today is a brilliant day for the team. Finishing first and second is a testament to the hard work of every single team member at McLaren, for which I would like to thank them for their efforts and contribution to this incredibly positive result.

The order of the drivers was altered for the final stint to make the safest call regarding tyre life and to protect our P1 and P2 finish in case of problems in the pit stops. Lando, giving the position back, embodies the values of what it means to be part of the McLaren Formula 1 Team and the culture we instil in being one team and putting the team’s interests first.

We now keep our feet on the ground, keep building and will not get complacent. There is still a long season ahead, and we must continue to maximise every opportunity available to score points and improve the car consistently. We now look to Belgium for one final race before the summer break.
