McLaren wins Hungarian Grand Prix as Lando Norris triumphs, Wolff comments

McLaren secured victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix with Lando Norris taking his first win of the season, a result attributed to significant upgrades to the MCL40 chassis.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged McLaren's progress, noting the upgrade's impact while cautioning against over‑estimating the team's competitiveness. He highlighted Mercedes' own need for development to stay competitive. Norris expressed optimism about future wins but recognised the car still has performance gaps to close. Aston Martin also recorded its best result of the season.

The win underscores a shifting competitive balance in Formula 1 as McLaren aims to build on the breakthrough after a challenging start to the year.
