PALMER: Why Norris was so strong in Hungary

Lando Norris claimed his first victory as reigning champion at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, delivering what analyst Jolyon Palmer described as a near-perfect weekend built on pace, patience, and car control. Norris had been performing strongly in recent rounds including Spain, Silverstone, and Spa, but lacked the car pace to convert those drives into wins. McLaren's latest upgrades provided the missing ingredient in Budapest, resulting in an emphatic victory.
