MONDAY MORNING DEBRIEF: How Norris successfully used the one-stop to triumph in Hungary

Hungarian Grand Prix winner Lando Norris succesfully used a one-stop strategy to score a narrow victory at the Hungaroring over two-stopping McLaren team mate – and title rival – Oscar Piastri.

But it was a choice made relatively late in the race and in the expectation it would clear Norris past George Russell’s Mercedes for third place – not that it would put him in a winning position.

Norris had lost out to Russell and Fernando Alonso in the first couple of corners of the race start and fell to fifth, while Piastri chased Charles Leclerc’s race-leading Ferrari. Although Norris re-passed Alonso easily enough, he could find no way by the Mercedes throughout Russell’s 19-lap opening stint.
