F1: Lando Norris has started the Hungarian GP in good spirits, setting the pace during practice.
Leclerc smashes wall as Norris sets pace | 01:31McLaren’s Lando Norris said he had no intention of changing his “nice guy” behaviour after he outpaced world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull to top the times on Friday in a sweltering second free practice ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
Shrugging aside suggestions that he is “too nice” to be a consistent on-track winner, Norris showed once again that he and McLaren have the potential to win Sunday’s race. “If I wanted to, I could be a lot more of a jerk and act like an idiot, that kind of character, to make people think I’m ruthless, but I don’t need to and I don’t want to.”
Carlos Sainz was third for Ferrari, one-tenth down, ahead of an improving Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull, George Russell of Mercedes and Haas’s Kevin Magnussen, who is set to leave the team at the end of the year. RB’s Daniel Ricciardo was eighth with a time of 1:18.371, while fellow Australian Oscar Piastri was 13th with 1:18.618 in the McLaren.
