Here is Giles Richards’ race report on a day of high drama at the Hungaroring.

Some words from Lando Norris: “It was tough. It’s tough for anyone when you’re leading the race. I was put in that position, they made me box first, gave me the chance to lead the race and pull away.

“It was fair to give the position back, I don’t want to come across as a guy who’s not fair. Oscar has helped me many times, he drove a better race, got a better start. He deserved it, and it was the right thing to do.

“It hurts. I was in a position I shouldn’t have been in, which is the main thing. I don’t want it to take away from a great result for the team.” Should the driver ahead in the title race get priority? “We’ll see at the end of the year.”

Norris has been pretty even-handed there, but he looks very disappointed. He has now finished second 12 times, with just one grand prix win.
