The Hungarian Grand Prix according to social media
A juicy breakfast, a mischievous pen and another podium: Hungary’s best tweets
The last time we scored back-to-back podiums, Sebastian Vettel was Formula 1 World Champion, Olly Murs and Flo Rida were top of the UK music charts with Troublemaker, and Lando and Oscar were in the early stages of their karting careers.
Even on social media, a lot has changed since then… McLaren had only been on Twitter for three years, whilst Instagram had released its incredibly popular Android app in April of that year.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the Hungarian Grand Prix, a beloved staple of the Formula 1 calendar at the Hungaroring since 1986. As the circuit’s most successful constructor, we’re not short of memories in Budapest, but Lando’s podium on Sunday was a welcome addition. Here’s what you made of it on social media…
We started off the weekend with some juicy content. Oscar’s breakfast is bacon us hungry.
This is a really solid breakfast 😁💪🏽 + an intriguing combination of two different juices.

The notorious uncapped pen strikes again…
They're so dangerous, you should have taken precautions

You know it’s hot when Lando isn’t wearing a hoodie.
OMG how hot must it be there? @LandoNorris isn’t wrapped up in a hoodie, gilet and beanie hat.

New fear unlocked: The electricity going down just before an F1 session.
Electricity off for some upgrade work, but fully prepared with laptop and mobile hotspot so I miss nothing. @McLarenF1 @LandoNorris #HungarianGP #FansLikeNoOther pic.twitter.com/Mj04AzKU3K

Our drivers delivered a qualifying to be proud of, as Lando and Oscar locked-out the second row, securing the duo successive top-five starts.

Lando - "No, summer of Mclaren"
Total team player. This team means more than one driver and Lando knows that. Huge respect.#FansLikeNoOther
Hmmm, we wonder why…
A lot of papaya starting on the second row 😉 🧡 LFG team!!!! Let’s make it the best race of the year 🏁🏎️💪 #FansLikeNoOther #BelieveInMcLaren #HungarianGP pic.twitter.com/H5k1xeECvm

A super start saw Oscar and Lando scamper off into second and third, respectively.
the amazing papayas VAMOS!!

Oscar lost net-second to Lando after a pit-stop before taking damage to his floor. This cost him third and fourth, but he battled on to retain fifth in spite of the issue. The dogged performance earned him consecutive top five finishes in F1 for the first time.
sweet, sweet Oscar... please just know that we love you and we are SO DAMN PROUD of you.. your time is coming, lil bro.. soon.. real soon 🙏🧡

For a rookie to be pulling P4-5, absolute scenes 👏

On the other side of the garage, Lando brushed off a late attempt from Sergio Pérez to finish second. It was the first time in Lando's career that he'd scored back-to-back podiums and our first for nearly 11 years.
P2!!! Another podium. Papaya is back 🍊 pic.twitter.com/lwRf065Srt

All the vibes. 🧡#HungarianGP 🇭🇺 pic.twitter.com/ak6KpxygOd
The universe works in mysterious ways. A certain song by Olly Murs and Flo Rida springs to mind.
A McLaren driver breaking Red Bull’s trophy for its 12 consecutive win is about as poetic as the real world gets. 😂

Budapest, it was a pleasure.
I’m still smiling from ear to ear, ripper of a race team. 😃🏆🏁
