Episode notes
Hungary did not disappoint! Lando Norris stormed to his first win since becoming world champion… slightly overshadowed by his teammate’s beef with Carlos Sainz . So can Lando still win the world championship, as Kimi Antonelli extended his lead out front? Was Oscar Piastri right to get so angry at Sainz? Was the issue with the blue flags (that tell lapped cars to get out the way) just an excuse? And was it unfair to give Lewis Hamilton another penalty for speeding in the pit lane by 0.1kph?!
