A superb McLaren-Mercedes one-two finish in Hungary was coloured by controversy when Lando Norris was asked to move over for his team-mate, Oscar Piastri, thereby enabling Piastri to become the first Australian to win since Daniel Ricciardo in 2021. Peter in this video offers his views on this decision - and on the fireworks that surrounded Max Verstappen's fragmented day: Max gave P2 back to Lando after a first-lap skirmish - and then a long first stint left him playing catch-up for the minor places held by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Sir Lewis eventually finished third, Leclerc fourth and Verstappen (after colliding with Hamilton) a seething fifth.
