Listen Later

Nine-time Le Mans winner, Tom Kristensen, and Fox Sports Mexico journalist, Diego Mejia, join Tom Clarkson in the Budapest paddock to dissect a thrilling strategy battle at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After losing two places at the start, how did Lando Norris make the one-stop strategy work to take his fifth victory of the season? What did the guys make of Oscar’s late lunge into turn 1 on the penultimate lap? Lando joins the pod to share whether he did anything in the car to avoid contact with Oscar. And with just nine points separating the McLaren teammates, who’s the momentum with going into the summer break?

Charles Leclerc took a shock pole position on Saturday, so why did he end up finishing off the podium after leading from the start? Did Ferrari get his strategy wrong? And after Lewis Hamilton described himself as ‘absolutely useless’, following another disappointing qualifying session, where does the seven-time World Champion go from here? 

George Russell secured his sixth podium of the season and his first since winning in Canada. Why were Mercedes quicker in Hungary after a difficult European leg of the season? And how will the news that Max Verstappen is staying at Red Bull in 2026 help Russell and Kimi Antonelli going forward?

Plus, we discuss Gabriel Bortoleto’s career-best finish with P6, Aston Martin’s incredible turnaround from Spa and a disappointing weekend for Red Bull.
