- Norris emphasised his refusal to engage in mind games with Piastri, preferring to focus on his own performance: “I don’t enjoy that. In 200 years no one is going to care. We’ll all be dead.”
- At the Hungaroring, Norris demonstrated strong form by securing an impressive practice double, outperforming Piastri in both sessions.
- Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari and Max Verstappen of Red Bull experienced challenging practice sessions, with both drivers reporting issues with their cars and finishing well down the order.
