Race Highlights | 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix

What is crucial for Charles and for the show is to keep your head after the first corner. He was good in the long runs in P2 on Friday. So be careful, start of the Hungarian Grand Prix. Leclerc, Piastri, Norris, Russell, let's go. Good takeoff from Charles, good takeoff also from Norris, who tries to get inside in front of his teammate who keeps the lead. Piastri stays in front, Russell takes a great start, he's a bit off there. Does he get in front of Norris? Yes, with Fernando Alonso who can pass Norris too. Russell very, very threatening. Lando Norris who risks losing two places in the adventure. Yes, yes, yes, indeed, he is behind Russell, behind Fernando Alonso. And Charles Leclerc took the lead. Very bad news for Lando Norris who lost a lot in the adventure. Leclerc, Piastri, Russell, Alonso, Norris, Bortoletto, Stroll and Simbels. Look, Thierry, the start, so excellent takeoff from Charles Leclerc, from Piastri. So look at Norris, he's trying to get inside and then it doesn't work. And then that's where he loses. In fact, wasn't he the one who created an accident like that last year or the year before? In fact, he had braked too late, he had done a carambolage in the first corner, so he may have had that in mind. Yes, in any case, he has complicated his life, we can see it. Well, he's going up a bit now, but he's still behind Russell. It's really surprising, these Aston were nowhere to be seen. And then here on a circuit that suits them, Fernando said yesterday, I don't even know why we're doing so well here. Here's Norris on the attack, who's going to pass in front of Fernando Alonso and get back into fourth position. Fastest lap for Charles Leclerc. Stroll, he was good too. Sixth on the grid, only 17,000th of Fernando Alonso. Well, here's a track that suits the Aston. That said, on the long runs, the Aston didn't work at all. Here's an important moment in the race. Wow, that's nice. We put the hard ones. It was very, very, very fast. We'll see. Charles should stop now. It's not too late already. Russell comes in. Norris continues. And there you go. It went pretty well on Charles' side. It's going to be tough. Piastri passes in front of us. Where's Charles? There you go. He stays in front, Charles. Not much. Be careful. He did a little braking. Guys, it's really terrible, this idea. Russell tries to attack Alonso. We see the rubber. But Fernando resists for now anyway. But I think Russell has a chance. Well, no. He stays behind. And now he's gone for another lap. So, Lando, we're considering the one-stop. It would be 40 laps on a hard tire. Keen for it? Yeah, why not? Verstappen, who is very, very, very patient. Look at him compared to Lewis Hamilton. The deployment of the batteries also plays a role. The difference between Leclerc and Piastri is relatively similar. Oh la la. Max who tries the ball. It's not possible for him to pass there. Yes, he managed to pass. He has more grip. I think he touched it too. Yes? Yeah. It's a place where it's practically impossible to overtake. No, maybe not. No, no. But he didn't leave a lot of room to pass. Charles Leclerc is therefore the leader. A second four in front of Piastri. 40 laps. And it's Leclerc who comes in. And who, once again, is very, very limited in his braking. Ah, that's not bad. Because we're getting ready at McLaren too. We're putting hard tires on Charles again. Oh. Antonelli who passes Sainz to be tenth. Yes. I have the impression that Piastri said, but Leclerc is not my number one concern. It's rather Norris who is only five seconds away. We were saying, Piastri is coming in. And he's already in. Oh la la la la. And Piastri who comes back. Piastri has really come back into the gap. And without the slightest hesitation, Charles Leclerc passes. And yes. And the McLarens take the lead. And that's a great moment. I think it's going to be really complicated. Here's Russell's first attack. Keep cool, mate. You'll get him. Well, it's true that it was limited. But otherwise, we're going to end up not having any races. We can no longer ride in the rain. We can't move. Braking. And there he goes. Can Charles cross again? No. He's seen. And here's Russell. He must not complain. He just has to do the next lap. Which he did very, very well here. Oh. Yes, it was fair. Well, yes. That's what's great. And he passed. We'll see. It still passes. So... Pass. No, I didn't miss. It's okay, mate. It's okay. Piastri with the DRS. No. I think it will be a little fair. He comes back. But it will be too fair at the braking. Sixty-ninth lap. Oh, he attacks. He attacks. And there he may lose the Grand Prix. He used his tires. He did a wheel lock. Yes. Magnificent fight between the two McLaren drivers. Remember how we go racing. Same reminder. Remember how we go racing. Same reminder, Oscar. Bravo. Bravo to the two, but above all, bravo to Norris, who did a race. Magnificent. Because I... And here's Russell, third on the podium. I didn't give much of his skin when we saw the way Piastri came back. But he handled it. He handled it beautifully. Nice race from Russell too, that said, on the podium. Third.
