[Saba Sports News] In the recently concluded F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, McLaren delivered an outstanding performance, with Oscar Piastri winning the championship and Lando Norris securing the runner-up position. It is worth noting that this is the first time in 12 years that McLaren has achieved such dominance in a race, with their last front-row sweep occurring at the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix. McLaren’s impressive performance is undoubtedly a blow to the Mercedes team, which had just achieved its second consecutive victory. The team’s tire strategy played a crucial role in their success, as they strategically managed the timing for drivers to make pit stops and change tires based on track and opponent conditions. Even other drivers from rival teams expressed their admiration for McLaren’s tactics and strategies during interviews after the race. McLaren has a storied history as a powerhouse in F1, demonstrating great strength as early as the 1970s when they won their first constructors’ championship.
