Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying: Formula One – live
Giles Richards' qualifying report
Right, that’s it for today. While we await confirmation of Hamilton’s penalty, here’s Giles Richards’ verdict:
double quotation markNorris, the defending world champion, produced a supreme run to claim pole. Given that the team had opened the season off the pace of Mercedes and Ferrari, their upgrades at Miami and with further developments added in Canada have proved impressive and they are the first team to deny Mercedes the top spot this season.
It is Norris’s second pole at the Hungarian GP and the 17th of his career, while for McLaren it is another strong result at the circuit. With Norris taking the win here last year and Piastri in 2024, they may well be in position to make it three in a row at a meeting where McLaren have a record 13 victories.
Join John Brewin tomorrow for the race, which starts at 2pm BST.
