Russell started from pole after Championship leader Kimi Antonelli crashed out during qualifying and looked to pull away to a dominant race win.

Lando Norris won by a healthy 11s to fend off the pair of Mercedes Drivers to mark his second race win in a row. He was joined on the podium by Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, with the former now growing his Championship lead to 59 points with 11 races remaining. It was a critical race res

Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix in decisive fashion, finishing 15s ahead of second place Max Verstappen and scoring his first win as a F1 World Champion.

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu What appeared to be another dominant weekend for Championship leader Kimi Antonelli ended in disaster when a late issue with his front left wheel shield made the car difficult to control. The problem led to multiple off-track excursions before ultimately triggering a safety car period, and Antonelli could manage only a 16th-place finish. Lewis Hamilton secured sprint pole position at his home race, edging Antonelli by just over one hundredth
