Worth Watching Score

4.8

McLaren dominated Budapest with a calm 1-2 as Lando Norris headed Oscar Piastri, and George Russell took a distant third, leaving little jeopardy at the front. With just one DNF, the race ran clean and largely predictable, which matches the low Worth Watching score. There were 63 overtakes, but most came in the midfield rather than for the lead. Unless you’re keen to see McLaren’s clinical control or sift through the pack fights, this one isn’t essential viewing.
