Charles Leclerc took pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix for Ferrari, beating the McLarens of Oscar Piastri into second and third in a closely fought contest at the Hungaroring. It is Leclerc’s first pole in Hungary, on the occasion of his 163rd grand prix, at a race he has still yet to win.
George Russell was fourth for Mercedes and Fernando Alonso in fifth for Aston Martin. There was huge disappointment for Lewis Hamilton, however, with the seven-times champion knocked out in 13th place during Q2, despite showing good pace in practice.
