Worth Watching Score

4.4

A straightforward Hungarian GP with McLaren in full control: Oscar Piastri set the tone and managed the pace, with Lando Norris shadowing for a calm 1-2, while Lewis Hamilton completed the podium. With just one DNF and no weather drama, strategy was tidy and the lead fight rarely felt in doubt. There were 44 overtakes, but most of the action sat in the midfield rather than at the front. Worth it mainly for McLaren fans or to appreciate Piastri’s composed win; otherwise, the highlights will do.
