Oscar Piastri completely lost his head on the McLaren team radio after a controversial moment may have cost him the Hungarian Grand Prix.

On Sunday afternoon, the F1 season continued at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, Hungary for the 11th race of the season.

With the summer break set to begin immediately after the race, the pressure is on for all drivers to put in strong performances with the seats available on the 2027 grid set to be a significant talking point over the break.

Following an impressive performance in qualifying on Saturday, it was reigning champion Lando Norris that started Sunday's race on pole, ahead of fellow Brit Lewis Hamilton and McLaren teammate Piastri.

As the race went on it soon became clear that the battle for first place would be between Norris and Piastri, with the Australian establishing a lead that looked like he would be able to hold onto unitl the chequered flag.

However, things soon fell apart for Piastri as, after pitting to put on a new set of hard tyres, he got stuck behind two backmarkers and eventually collided with Williams' driver Carlos Sainz.

And it's safe to say, he wasn't happy about it as he immediately took to his team radio to express his feelings.

"Get out of the f***ing way you idiot! Oh my God," Piastri said.

The struggle eventually meant that Piastri lost his place as leader of the race to Norris who, after pitting, came out ahead of his teammate and had since built a massive lead.

Commenting on the incident, Piastri's race engineer, Tom Stollard, said: "Oscar, that's Sainz that's cost us that."

Piastri replied: "Oh mate, just don't f***ing talk to me now."

Before sarcastically adding: "Nice of you guys to factor that in by the way, thanks."

Sainz was handed a five-second time penalty for the contact, but with the Spaniard fighting with his teammate for P19, it won't matter.

And things only got worse for Piastri as a gearbox issue forced him to slow down and eventually come to a stop and retire from the race on lap 56.
