Oscar Piastri won the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring last Sunday. Teammate Lando Norris finished P2 in the central European country. The return flight from Budapest did not exactly go smoothly, Piastri reported. Nevertheless, the drivers still found a way to celebrate.
"Wasn't the most glamorous of after parties. We had a flight back from Budapest that was significantly delayed and then flew into a different airport. I didn't get home until about 5am, and my girlfriend was waiting at home for me. Spent with her the few hours that we were asleep and that was about it," Piastri told Speedcafe.

During the delay at the airport, the drivers looked for an eatery, and ended up at a very well-known American fast food chain. "We had McDonald's. We were flying back with a few of the drivers, Lando (Norris) was there, Alex Albon, a couple of others. In our wait for the delay, we got a cheeky Maccas, had a Big Mac, got home at 5am and that was the celebrations."
"Just a couple of F1 drivers getting some burgers and nuggets. We didn't take any trophies or anything. We had three or four hours of delays, and there wasn't any food around, so McDonald's was the nearest and most convenient thing, so that's what we chose," the McLaren driver continued ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.
