Lando Norris issues McLaren instruction in F1 resurgence battle

Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix in round 11 of the 2026 F1 season, marking McLaren's first podium victory of the campaign after being outpaced by Mercedes early in the year. McLaren introduced a substantial car upgrade at the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend and plans to test the package next at Zandvoort. However, Norris acknowledged it will be difficult to close a deficit of around 100 championship points, urging the team to remain 'patient' in its resurgence battle.
