The 2024 F1 Hungary Grand Prix has come to an end, and McLaren Racing has staged a wonderful "brotherhood" drama! Piastri won the first race championship of his F1 career with the "handicap" of his teammate Norris, becoming the first "post-00" driver in history to reach the top. This made the fans happy, and they ridiculed on social media: "It seems that 'making the car' can also make a good story!" ＂
Speaking of this game, it is simply ups and downs and exciting. At the start, Norris started from pole position, but was overtaken by a hungry Verstappen. However, Verstappen, an "acute sub", may have stepped out of bounds when overtaking, and obediently returned his position to Norris after a "cup of tea" by the race. This scene can make the audience stunned, as if they are watching a farce of "you chase me".
In the middle of the race, the two young players of McLaren Racing have been firmly in the "first and second positions". However, the convoy suddenly came up with a "stroke of genius" - let Norris give Piastri the car! This made Norris angry enough, and he probably thought to himself: "I worked so hard to get to the first place, and I gave it for nothing?" However, as an obedient and good boy, Norris gritted his teeth and carried out the team's instructions. This scene is even more bloody than the TV series, which makes people sigh: "In the F1 field, sometimes the performance of the 'brotherhood' race car is more important!" ＂
In the end, Piastri laughed at the first F1 victory in his life with a "windfall". Norris finished second, but he also contributed valuable points to the team. The performance of the "McLaren Twins" made the team fiercely "brush a wave of presence" in the standings.
When it comes to the standings, it's interesting. This season's "leader" Verstappen only finished fifth this time, but still holds the top spot in the standings with a total of 265 points. Norris was next with 189 points, but still had a 76-point gap to Verstappen. This gap is like two people running a marathon, one has reached the finish line and is resting for tea, and the other is still struggling halfway.
Further back, Ferrari's two drivers, Leclerc and Sainz, occupy third and fourth place with 162 and 154 points, respectively. After Piastri's victory, the points soared to 149 points and he was in fifth place. The difference in points between these five riders is like five people playing the long jump, the first place jumps to the moon, and the others are still racing on Earth.
The most surprising thing is that the "old driver" Hamilton actually jumped two places in one go this time and came to sixth place! Although he only has 125 points, he is 24 points short of Piastri in fifth place. It seems that the "seven-time champion" still has two brushes, and maybe the next race will surprise us.
Further back, Pérez, Russell, Alonso and Stroll occupy seventh to tenth places, respectively. The difference in points between these drivers is also quite interesting, like a few children eating ice cream in a race, some of them have eaten until their stomachs hurt, and some are still licking spoons.
Looking back over the season, Verstappen's dominance should not be underestimated. It's like this guy is driving a plug-in, and the other drivers can only see his taillights. However, the rise of McLaren has also given other teams some hope. It seems that there is still the possibility of a "dark horse" in F1.
The biggest highlight of this race is that Piastri has become the first "post-00" driver in F1 history to win a race. This result may make many "post-80s" and "post-90s" drivers sigh: "The years are not forgiving!" At the same time, it also gives the young drivers an incentive: as long as they have quality, age really doesn't matter.
In addition, it has to be mentioned that Norris's "give way to the car" behavior. While this may have cost him a championship chance, it also showed the team's team spirit. In a highly competitive sport like Formula 1, sometimes there are sacrifices to be made for the overall good of the team. This spirit is worth learning from each of us.
Overall, this game has given us too much to watch and talk about. From Verstappen's continued reign, to the rise of McLaren; From the first championship of the "post-00" riders to the steady progress of the veteran Hamilton. All of this shows us the charm and uncertainty of F1.
Looking ahead, while Verstappen is currently in a clear lead, the season is still long and the other drivers and teams will certainly not throw in easily. We look forward to seeing more exciting games and more surprising results. After all, in F1, you never know what's going to happen at the next corner.
Finally, let's give a round of applause to all the drivers and teams that participated. Regardless of the outcome, they put in a tremendous effort. At the same time, I also hope that fans can stay rational and enjoy the fun of the race, instead of being too entangled in winning or losing. After all, F1 is more than just a race, it's a passion, a quest for speed and technique.
Let's look forward to the next round of exciting performances! Who knows, maybe the next person to make history will be your favorite driver?
