Oscar Piastri led home a McLaren 1-2 at the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

Here are the complete results from the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix, where F1 has gained a new race winner!

McLaren has claimed a 1-2 in tense circumstances at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris benefitting from an undercut pit strategy to take the lead from Oscar Piastri – with the British driver leaving it late to obey a team instruction to give the position back.

McLaren claims emphatic 1-2 in tense battle

With race engineer Will Joseph pleading with Norris to hand back the lead to Piastri after the British driver benefitted from being given the undercut at the second stops, Norris left it until three laps to go until he slowed going down the main straight to give the win back to the Australian.

Piastri duly crossed the line to claim his first Grand Prix win to go alongside his Sprint race victory in Qatar last year, with Norris coming home second after leaving McLaren uncertain whether or not he would obey the instruction.

In third place, Lewis Hamilton weathered a stern challenge from Max Verstappen as the pair made contact at Turn 1 – the seven-time F1 World Champion surviving the contact to hold onto the place and go on to round out the podium.

With Verstappen undone by a tricky strategy, the Dutch driver fumed over team radio for most of the race after being forced to give up a position to Norris after overtaking him off track at the first corner. Undercut by others to fall down to fifth, he overtook Charles Leclerc and latched onto Hamilton – only for the resulting contact to send him back down to fifth and under investigation for the incident.

Carlos Sainz came home sixth for Ferrari, ahead of a good recovery drive from Sergio Perez as the Mexican had started from 16th on the grid. George Russell was eighth for Mercedes, Yuki Tsunoda ninth for VCARB, and Lance Stroll claimed the final point as the Aston Martin driver took the chequered flag in 10th.
