Russell Hilariously Mocks Piastri After Close Call with Norris

While the on-track action may not have delivered much excitement during the Hungarian GP, George Russell certainly found a way to entertain fans after the race.

The crowd was hoping for an epic wheel-to-wheel battle between the two McLarens for the win. Unfortunately, they didn’t quite get the nail-biter they wanted.

Lando Norris played it smart, managing his tyres brilliantly and making a one-stop strategy work perfectly.

His teammate Oscar Piastri did try to make things interesting with a last-minute move, diving down the inside at Turn 1 on the second-to-last lap—but couldn’t make it stick.

Watching this McLaren drama unfold from a distance was Mercedes driver George Russell.

The Brit finally got some good results after Mercedes’ recent struggles, landing his W16 on the podium. He got a bit of help when Charles Leclerc started having chassis problems midway through the race.

It was in the cooldown room after the race where Russell really made his mark.

While the three drivers were watching race highlights—including that tense moment between the McLaren teammates—Russell couldn’t resist throwing in a joke that was both subtle and brutal.

“Why didn’t you T-bone him?” he asked Piastri with perfect deadpan delivery. “That would have been great.”

The quip sent both McLaren drivers into laughter.

The moment between the three quickly went viral on social media, giving fans something to talk about when the on-track action hadn’t quite delivered the drama they’d hoped for.
