Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle reflects on a thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix, including his verdict on Lando Norris' team orders row with McLaren as Oscar Piastri won.
Another cracking 2024 Formula 1 race, the seventh winner this season, and more controversy. Excellent. On a typically steaming hot Budapest weekend tyres would suffer and tempers would flare. Ironically it was rain which defined qualifying, and although precipitation was visible in the air and the pitlane looked soaked, the hitherto warm track seemed immune and dried almost instantly to generate some fast lap times.
Normal procedure would be for the lead driver of the team at that moment to pit first, but McLaren wanted to cover off the hard-charging Hamilton who on lap 40 had received the second of his cleverly saved new hard compound tyres and was making haste. They pitted second place Norris first on lap 45 for fresh medium tyres, and then Piastri on lap 47 for the same choice of tyres.
