Bulgarian sports channel Gong covered the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend in its Formula 1 Extra programme on 28 July 2026, with two main stories: Lando Norris taking his first win of the season and Formula 2 driver Nikola Tsolov enduring a difficult weekend at the Hungaroring.
Norris takes victory at the Hungaroring
According to Gong's Formula 1 Extra, Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli completing the podium. The race featured strategic complexity and multiple incidents. The Hungaroring, just outside Budapest, is one of the more technically demanding circuits on the calendar, where overtaking is difficult and strategy often decides the result. Gong's programme examined the strategy calls and incidents that shaped the final order.
Nikola Tsolov's tough F2 weekend in Budapest
Gong reports that Bulgarian Formula 2 driver Nikola Tsolov had a weekend of intense battles, capped by an incident during the sprint race. Details of the incident were not specified in the available summary, though the programme's framing indicated pace was evident despite the results. Formula 2 is the direct feeder series to Formula 1 and is widely considered the final step before a driver can realistically seek an F1 seat, making each race weekend a live audition in front of team principals and sponsors.
Tsolov's F2 campaign has drawn attention from Bulgarian fans at home and abroad, who follow his progress through channels such as Gong. Formula 1 Extra covers both the headline F1 results and Bulgarian drivers in the support categories, giving context beyond the race highlights. The sprint race incident aside, Tsolov has three more rounds remaining in the 2026 season.
