F1 Nation Formula 1

In the Budapest paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by ESPN journalist Albert Fabrega to dissect a dramatic Hungarian Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri is the first Formula 1 Grand Prix winner born in this millennium and the fifth Australian to stand on top of the podium. How did he achieve his first race victory and what does this win mean for his future?

McLaren secured their first 1-2 since Monza 2021 – but should Lando Norris have been asked to give up victory after undercutting Piastri? Or did the polesitter lose this race at the start? And will those team orders benefit McLaren in the long run?

Tom and Albert also discuss who was at fault for the late collision between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, why Red Bull were off the pace in Budapest and what the future may hold for Sergio Perez after another difficult weekend.

Tom Clarkson and Damon Hill are joined by Mercedes Engineering Director, Andrew Shovlin, for F1 Nation’s preview of the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Mercedes are on a roll. They’ve won back-to-back races for the first time since 2021. Will they make it three in a row in Budapest, or will Red Bull, McLaren or Ferrari take another win in this unpredictable season?

Andrew talks about the celebrations after Lewis Hamilton’s sensational win at Silverstone and why the seven-time World Champion was back to his very best, how much scope Mercedes have to continue getting better in 2024, whether they’ll be in the mix for victory again this weekend and why the Hungaroring represents a big test for their car.

Also on the agenda: have Red Bull reached their peak of development under the current regulations? And what have McLaren learned from missed opportunities in the last four races?
