Oscar Piastri has raced to his maiden Formula One victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix, becoming only the fifth Australian driver to reach motor racing’s pinnacle — but only after a day of extraordinary internal team strife at McLaren.

Oscar Piastri wins Hungarian Grand Prix. Eventually, despite having resisted team engineers’ pleas for nearly all of the last 20 laps of the race, Norris complied reluctantly after a series of increasingly fervent messages suggesting he would be seriously risking team harmony if he took the chequered flag first. Piastri had been in control of Sunday’s race after he grabbed the lead on the first turn from polesitter Norris.
