Overview

  • Lando Norris took pole at Hungaroring with a 1:17.219 lap in Saturday qualifying, beating Lewis Hamilton by 0.012 seconds.
  • The FIA applied three‑place grid penalties after qualifying to Lewis Hamilton for impeding Oscar Piastri and to Andrea Kimi Antonelli for not respecting yellow flags and losing a lap time, and those drops altered the starting order.
  • A late Max Verstappen spin produced a yellow flag that disrupted final flying laps and a separate Mercedes stoppage by George Russell was reported to have contributed to the session's closing yellow.
  • Franco Colapinto will start 13th after limited running following an FP2 crash and problems preparing his tyres left him short of Q3, leaving Alpine to rely on a strong launch and race strategy to reach the points.
  • The Hungarian Grand Prix runs Sunday 26 July as the final race before F1's summer break and will be broadcast regionally on outlets including F1 TV Pro, Disney+ Premium, FOX Sports, Sky, Apple TV and DAZN F1.
