The race has achieved a few other tense rolls, as the rival of the title fights the neck and control to win until the last corner of the last lap. Norris has through traffic and background marks, Norris cleared PiaSSTRI despite the presence of larger and embodiment tires.
“I’m dead. I’m dead! It was difficult,” Norris said in an ESPN. He added: “This was difficult in the final rise with Oscar – I was going out abroad,” describing the result more “rewarding” after that intense battle.
Al -Nasr was a statement issued by Norris, a sign that he was not ready to reduce his grip on the championship cup. It was also a confidence batch after a season often: Norris, who entered the season as a favorite, proved that he was the fastest driver, but he was subject to the mistakes that cost him valuable points against the most consistent and consistent Piastri.
He said: “We have fought very tightly, it is difficult to say the momentum alongside anyone.” “It is difficult but fun against Oscar.”
The Battle of World Championship 1 in Formula 1 was strengthened in an individual confrontation between McLaren’s competitors. With approximately a month -long summer vacation, PiaSSTRI 284 points to 275 Normis.
The world champion MAX Versaben sits from Red Ball in the distant third with 187 points; His hopes in the fifth title are all ended. The ninth place ended in Hungary.
PiaSSTRI made an ambitious resistance on NORRIS in the penultimate latter, but he crossed it and closed the front steering wheel, where he collided with his teammate on the team. He got a nice reprimand by his team on the radio: “Remember how we go to the race.”
“I paid the fullest I can,” said Pastari after the race. “The car really arrived in the second half of the race.”
McLaren Andreen Stella team manager discussed the radio message to Piastri in an interview with F1TV after the race.
Stella said: “It was a reminder to both of them: One, make sure not to dive into the interior strongly.” It is fair to do their best, but all of these should happen within our principles. “
This was the fourth consecutive race, as McLaren drivers ranked first and second, which showed the dominance of the Papaya team in the color of this year, whose victory scored 200 in F1 on Sunday. George Russell Mercedes ended the third place after a quarrelsome battle for the position of the final platform.
Leclerc wins the pole, but loses it in the race
The Ferrari Charles Licerircry driver ranked a shock in the electrode on Saturday and was initially led by PiaSSTRI and Norris, who qualified in second and third place.
Norris got a decent beginning and withdrew into Pasteri before his teammate moved to cut him, which led to the bargaining of Norris and cost him two positions in the opening angles.
Pasri’s step on his competitor initially kept him and gave him preferential treatment for the first station. But the NORRIS camp extends through the gambling on a comprehensive strategy, as it was later attended by the 31st. When PiaSSTRI incited again, in the lap 46, it came out about 12 seconds behind Norris-but he was carrying tires that was 14 rolls younger to fight with it.
Then the PiaSSTRI surpassed the Leclerc, making it a race of two people in the lead between the competitors of the championship. Khalaf Norris closed and attacked him, but he failed to overcome him.
“After I saw Lando go to one [stop]”I knew that I would have to wander the right track, which should be said it is easier than doing here. I tried some things. It was a gamble in both cases. Today, unfortunately, we were just on the wrong side of it,” said Pasri.
Hungary was the race that predicted their competition one year ago. PiaSSTRI advanced forward, but Norris took the center again to stop the hole due to the strategic decisions made by McLaren. Then the NORRIS team ordered the slow and allow Piasstri to overcome to win – which he did after resisting many rolls. It was a dramatic and controversial sequence that led to PiaSSTRI’s first victory in the Grand Prix in Formula 1. In general, Norris defeated the youngest PiaSSTRI throughout the 2024 season, but in short in Verstapen in his attempt to championship.
This year, McLaren drivers were equal evenly. A series of radio messages in the middle of the race between McLaren drivers and race engineers crystallized battle.
After dipping a wheel in the gravel, Lando was said, “Just keep the focus – you don’t want these errors.” One race came after Norris was the same on a different tire strategy, but he made some decisive mistakes that prevented him from challenging PiaSSTRI.
Meanwhile, Piastri was asked in the middle of the race whether he wanted to focus the strategy on the Leclerc challenge to win or hunt Norris for second place. PiaSSTRi’s response was: “If you still think that Lando hit a realistic matter, then: Do this.”
“I don’t really care to Leclerc,” PiaSSTRI added on the Team Partips radio after that. “I just want the best chance to try to overcome Lando. This is the important thing at the moment.”
The whole thing is about the world championship.
