Australian talent Oscar Piastri has won his first Formula 1 race at the Hungarian Grand Prix but only after an internal controversy with McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.
Despite Norris leading the race at the Hungaroring circuit with two laps to go, the Britain, despite being second in the F1 drivers' championship was forced by his team to let Piastri pass to win the race.
The Sporting News explains why McLaren's team rules allowed Piastri to clinch his first-ever F1 triumph.

Why Lando Norris pulled over to let Oscar Piastri win Hungarian Grand Prix
In an unusual circumstance, Norris was forced by his team to pull over and let team-mate Piastri win the race - and he was not happy about it.
Piastri led for most of the race up to the final round of pit stops, but with Lewis Hamilton keen to undercut second-placed Norris, McLaren decided to pit the Brit first to avoid him being passed.
This move saw Piastri lose the race lead to Norris once he pitted two laps later.
The idea of McLaren's move was to keep both of their drivers in the first and second positions and they would restore Piastri to the lead if it worked out that Norris passed him.
However, Norris wasn't too happy to comply with team orders and was heard on team radio to dispute McLaren's decision.
Norris claimed they should have pitted Piastri first and then was told, "I know you'll do the right thing", by his team.
The Britain was also heard pleading that he was faster than Piastri and would have won the race even if he stopped after the Australian.
Despite the tension, Norris theatrically pulled aside on the penultimate lap and let Piastri through to win a maiden F1 race.
After the race, Norris was blunt in his assessment of what happened.
"The team asked me to do it, so I did it," he said post-race, without elaboration.
