However, a bold strategy, stopping one less time than his rivals, catapulted him to the lead.

Norris, with nerves of steel, secured his fifth victory of the season, the third in his last four races, crossing the finish line with six tenths of a second advantage.\n\nMax Verstappen, who finished ninth, remains in third position, but 97 points behind the leader.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0803%2Fr1527300_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Lando Norris\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Lando Norris acumula nueve victorias en su carrera, cinco de ellas esta temporada.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nNorris&#8217;s victory in the last race before the summer break revives his aspiration for the world title. However, the British driver had to overcome difficulties.\n\nIn the exit, Norris failed to overtake Piastri, which allowed George Russell and Fernando Alonso to pass him. On lap 3, Norris managed to overtake Alonso, but was held back by Russell.\n\nPiastri and Charles Leclerc, who was leading the race from pole position, entered the pits to change tires. This propelled Norris into first place.\n\nMcLaren considered a one-stop strategy. Norris&#8217; race engineer, Will Joseph, asked on the radio: &#8220;Lando, 40 laps on the hard tire, are you ready?&#8221; Norris replied: &#8220;Yes, why not?&#8221;\n\nIn lap 31, Norris made his only stop, and then set the fastest laps. However, a mistake in the chicane caused Joseph&#8217;s warning: &#8220;Lando, concentrate, we don&#8217;t want these mistakes.&#8221;\n\nLeclerc, Piastri, and Russell were forced to stop again. Norris led Leclerc by seven seconds, with Piastri five seconds behind.\n\nPiastri overtook Leclerc on lap 51 and began to reduce Norris&#8217;s lead. With five laps to go, Piastri was one second behind his teammate. On the penultimate lap, the Australian attempted the overtake, but Norris kept calm and secured a crucial victory.\n\nRussell completed the podium, with Leclerc in fourth place. The next race will be in the Netherlands on August 31.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lando Norris vs. Oscar Piastri: Duel for the World Championship Lando Norris anticipates a titanic battle with Oscar Piastri for the championship, after his victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
