Norris Takes Hungaroring Pole Amidst Chaos
26 Jul
Summary
- Lando Norris secured pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
- His upgraded car helped him beat Ferraris and break Mercedes' streak.
- Late spins and stops disrupted the qualifying session significantly.
Lando Norris will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole position, marking his first front-row start since the Las Vegas Grand Prix last season. This significant achievement was powered by an upgraded car, allowing Norris to edge out the Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton came exceptionally close to securing a record-extending tenth pole at the Hungaroring, missing out by a mere 0.012 seconds. The qualifying session experienced considerable turmoil in its final moments. Late yellow flags were triggered by Max Verstappen spinning at the final corner, and George Russell's Mercedes came to a halt, disrupting the flow for other drivers.
Title leader Kimi Antonelli, originally fourth, is also set to move up the grid alongside Norris, adding further intrigue to the race.
