8 moments you might have missed from the Hungarian GP
The 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix delivered high-stakes drama as Lando Norris clinched his first win of the season, while Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli rounded out the podium. Beyond the track, the weekend was filled with unique moments, including a marriage proposal in the Haas garage and the renaming of Turn 2 at the Hungaroring to 'Hamilton' in honor of the seven-time champion.
Away from the racing, personal passions and lighthearted rivalries took center stage. Czech President Petr Pavel made a unique appearance as an official photographer, while drivers like Franco Colapinto, Carlos Sainz, and Fernando Alonso navigated the aftermath of the World Cup final. Meanwhile, the Mercedes and Haas squads orchestrated playful pranks between Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman, and the Mercedes team enjoyed a bonding dinner amidst their intense championship battle.
Technical updates and milestones also marked the weekend. Alexander Albon celebrated his 100th race with Williams with a special helmet design, and the grid saw the debut of a new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Safety Car, adorned with a special livery to celebrate 30 years of Mercedes' partnership with the sport.
