This week on Gears & Glory, Brit, Sof, and Liv unpack McLaren’s defining moment at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix. Lando Norris, starting from P3, recovered from a slow start and opted for a bold one-stop hard-tyre strategy — a decision that paid off as he fended off relentless late pressure from teammate Oscar Piastri to deliver McLaren’s 200th F1 victory.
The hosts discuss Charles Leclerc’s shock pole that evaporated into a frustrating fourth place for Ferrari, as well as George Russell’s solid podium for Mercedes and Fernando Alonso’s season-best fifth place.
This episode explores McLaren’s internal rivalry heating up ahead of the mid-season break, and what the narrowing standings—with the championship now just a nine-point gap between Piastri and Norris—mean for the rest of the campaign.Along the way, Brit, Sof, and Liv highlight tactical missteps by Ferrari, young midfield surges from Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto and Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson, and the wider implications before the August break. Tune in for strategy breakdowns, driver insight, and heated debate.
