Hungarian Grand Prix: Lando Norris takes first victory of the season; Oscar Piastri retires from 2nd - ESPN

Lando Norris cashed in on Oscar Piastri's bizarre collision with a backmarker to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, while Lewis Hamilton lost further ground to Kimi Antonelli in his bid for a record eighth world championship.

Norris surrendered the lead to Piastri following a sloppy start from pole position, but he took advantage of his McLaren teammate tangling with Carlos Sainz — as he attempted to put a lap on the Williams driver midway through the race — to land the first victory of his title defense.

Piastri ran off the road after his front-right tire made contact with the rear-left of Sainz, losing him up to two seconds.

Norris immediately stopped for tires and emerged in the net lead. Norris then passed Antonelli on Lap 46 before cantering to the checkered flag.

Max Verstappen finished second, with Antonelli a place back in third, allowing the Italian teenager to increase his title advantage over Hamilton from 45 points to 50.

Hamilton, who stopped for tires one more time than Verstappen and Antonelli, finished fourth, but a five-second penalty for pit-lane speeding demoted him to fifth behind teammate Charles Leclerc on an afternoon that promised so much more.

George Russell recovered from a nightmare start to finish seventh, but he is now 59 points off the championship pace.

Norris exceled off the line and kept the chasing pack behind at the opening corner only to carry too much speed into the next bend, running wide and allowing Piastri to sneak through.

Leclerc, who started between the McLaren drivers, slipped back from second to fifth, with Verstappen and Hamilton moving up to third and fourth, respectively.

Hamilton, on the speediest soft tire compound, set about harassing Verstappen with the Red Bull driver
