Lando Norris secured a surprise victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix following a one-stop gamble, as a result of finding himself in fifth at the end of the first lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He survived a late charge from title leader and team-mate Oscar Piastri, who holds a nine-point lead going into the F1 summer break.<\/p>\n
George Russell completed the podium behind the McLaren one-two, whilst Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton endured difficult races in ninth and 12th, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here is how media from around the world reacted to the 14th round of the F1 season, the Hungarian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 The Times – ‘Wolff: Hamilton can win record title, he just needs a car he can trust’<\/p>\n
Starting in the United Kingdom, British newspaper The Times reported on comments post-race by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff on his former driver, Hamilton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion was incredibly downbeat after both qualifying and the grand prix in Hungary, suggesting Ferrari needs a new driver and that he is “useless”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Post-race, Wolff insisted that the 40-year-old must remember how good he is, and that an eighth drivers’ title can be won if he has the correct car underneath him next season.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf1 De Telegraaf – ‘Red Bull’s top advisor Helmut Marko: “I think we’ve found the cause of this weekend’s problems”‘<\/p>\n
In the Netherlands, publication De Telegraaf focused on the difficulties endured by Verstappen and Red Bull.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dutchman qualified in eighth but finished in ninth, insisting that “nothing works”. However, post-race, Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko revealed that the team believes it has discovered what caused a horrific weekend in Hungary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Marko, “the tyres didn’t work” for Red Bull’s RB21, resulting in the challenging weekend for both Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda, who finished comfortably outside the points.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 La Gazzetta dello Sport – ‘Hamilton: “It’s worse than any other season, but I haven’t lost my drive. I love racing.”‘<\/p>\n
In Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport has focused on Hamilton’s immense struggle at the Hungaroring, a track he has previously won at on eight occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite being the most successful driver in the Hungarian GP, it was a disastrous weekend and one which left him calling himself “useless” and noting that Ferrari need a new driver.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the race, he has accepted it will be his worst season in F1, but that he does still continue to “love racing” after finishing in 12th.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 The Washington Post – ‘Lewis Hamilton says he has “a lot going on in the background” after another tough race’<\/p>\n
In the United States, The Washington Post also highlighted the striking comments made by Hamilton, who built upon his qualifying comments post-race.<\/p>\n
The 105-time race winner insisted it was simply how he was currently feeling, but also pointed out that there was “a lot going on in the background”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Interestingly, when asked what he was referring to, the Briton opted against going into any detail, leaving it in the air for speculation.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea BILD – ‘Verstappen: “I won\u2019t win races like this anymore”‘<\/p>\n
In Germany, BILD reported a remarkable comment from Verstappen, who conceded that he will not “win races like this anymore” in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Bull driver ruled himself out of claiming another victory this season, following the troubles he experienced in Hungary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marko also accepted it is now “impossible” for Verstappen to defend his title and become a five-time world champion, having fallen 97 points adrift.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5 The Japan Times – ‘Lando Norris enjoying battle with Oscar Piastri after winning Hungarian GP’<\/p>\n
And finally, in Japan, The Japan Times published comments from race winner Norris, on his intense battle with Piastri.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two McLaren drivers had an intense fight for the victory in the final laps, with Piastri having attempted two huge lunges at the first corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the scrarp, Norris is hoping for “more of the same” in the closing 10 rounds, following the summer break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris secured a surprise victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix following a one-stop gamble, as a result…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-45938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
