McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says it is “far too early” to call Lando Norris’ pole position in Hungary a turning point for the team, despite the MCL40’s latest upgrade package delivering the gains McLaren expected. Stella said: "I think it will be more about how many upgrades the top teams will be in condition to deliver so far, and for what's left of the season, because we are only midway in this season. So I think it's far too early to say whether this is a turning point for McLaren, or not. We just look at the facts... the pole position is a little bit of an over-achievement, thanks to execution and maximising the potential that was available."

🇭🇺 The Hungarian Grand Prix



Lewis Hamilton apologised for his "attitude" after Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying, after he was investigated for impeding Oscar Piastri in Q3 and later given a three-place grid drop. Hamilton said: "Yesterday was difficult. Forgive me for my attitude. I had done such a great session and then I got the call right at the last minute, so to then know I was going to get a penalty, was tough to swallow."

Alex Albon says reaching 100 races with Williams at the Hungarian Grand Prix “means a lot” to him, but he feels there is “still so much more” he wants to achieve with the team and in Formula 1. Albon said: "Hitting 100 races with this team means a lot to me. It's been quite a journey since I first joined, and it is always nice to think back on some memories over the years, and I'm proud of how far we've all come together. There's still so much more I want to achieve with Williams and in F1, and this weekend is just about doing the best job possible as usual and pushing for the best result we can get."
