Lando Norris has not ruled out mounting a Formula 1 championship fightback after winning the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix, his first win of the season. Norris sits fifth in the Drivers' Championship, 91 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli with 11 rounds remaining. He stated that all the pressure is on Antonelli and that McLaren has made fewer mistakes than Mercedes. McLaren brought a major upgrade package to Hungary, including a new floor, which significantly improved pace. Team principal Andrea Stella expects a competitive 'race of upgrades' after the summer break, with cars potentially gaining half a second over the remaining 11 races. Norris also defended McLaren's pit priority decision that favored teammate Oscar Piastri, saying he wanted to win but respected team rules.
