Piastri on McLaren's opportunity at the Hungarian Grand Prix
Oscar Piastri said there is “a lot up for grabs” for McLaren at the Hungarian Grand Prix if the team can put together a strong Saturday, after a difficult Friday on the resurfaced and dusty Hungaroring in which he missed FP1 and ended FP2 eighth. Piastri said: "I think the Ferraris looked very quick in both sessions. I think Lando looked competitive in that one [FP2] especially. I think the Mercedes is very hard to read, so let's wait and see tomorrow. I think if we execute a good day, it seems like there can be a lot up for grabs."

Newey on Stroll's Hungary suspension failure
Aston Martin team principal and design chief Adrian Newey said the suspected rear suspension failure that ended Lance Stroll’s running on Friday in Hungary was not in an area changed by the team’s AMR26 upgrade package, calling it “very unexpected”. Newey said: "Everybody is feverishly trying to understand exactly what went wrong and what happened as we speak, and it's only once we have an understanding that we can comment on what we do next. The area involved was actually not being changed... So there are some minor changes in that area. In that sense it was very unexpected."
