McLaren Leads Hungary F1 Qualifying, Norris Tops Sessions

The 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring continues to showcase McLaren's dominance this Formula 1 season, with Lando Norris leading both free practice sessions and teammate Oscar Piastri holding the championship lead. Piastri secured his maiden grand prix win in Budapest following a strategic pit stop that saw Norris briefly regain the lead but ultimately yield it back. McLaren's stronghold is evident with 10 wins in 13 races, while Aston Martin has emerged as a dark horse, positioning themselves as podium contenders amid struggles from Red Bull and Mercedes.
