Oscar Piastri Claims Maiden Win At Quarrel-Hit Hungarian Grand Prix

Oscar Piastri claimed his maiden Formula One victory on Sunday when he finished ahead of his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, after a vexed radio argument produced an extraordinary finish to an incident-filled Hungarian Grand Prix. In a race of fluctuating fortunes and many quarrels on and off the track, the McLaren duo secured a comprehensive one-two after starting from the team's first front row lockout since 2012, Norris finally obeying team orders to hand his team-mate his first career win.

Piastri, 23, won by 2.141 seconds with seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton finishing third for Mercedes to claim his record 200th podium finish.

He survived a late collision with Red Bull's three-time champion and series leader Max Verstappen, who flew off, but recovered to finish fifth.

Charles Leclerc came home fourth and Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz sixth, sandwiching a grumpy Verstappen who was called to see the stewards to explain his collision with Hamilton.

Sergio Perez finished seventh for Red Bull, having started 16th on the grid, ahead of George Russell in the second Mercedes, who started 17th, and RB's Yuki Tsunoda. Lance Stroll was 10th for Aston Martin.

"It's very special," said Australian driver Piastri.

"I dreamt of this as a kid and if it was a bit complicated at the end, I did put myself in the right position at the start of the race.

"It's a hell of a lot of fun racing with McLaren. This is an incredible feeling."

Norris was first to congratulate his team-mate, after he had appeared to reject team orders and allow the Australian to pass in the closing stages.

Norris had made an uncertain start and he, Piastri and Verstappen were
