What a weekend for Lando Norris in Budapest! He totally earned this victory after an absolute roller coaster of a weekend.

Norris set the pace early on Saturday by nailing a clutch lap of 1:17.207 to grab pole position, barely edging out Lewis Hamilton by 0.012 seconds. Today's race started with some immediate drama when Norris lost the lead into turn two, but he didn't let that rattle him. He used the incredible pace of his upgraded McLaren to hunt down the leaders, pull off a brilliant strategy overcut, and charge right back to the front. He crossed the line comfortably ahead of Max Verstappen in second and Andrea Kimi Antonelli in third to lock down his first win of the season.
