Having looked in the groove all weekend at the Hungaroring, Lando Norris converted that form to a third career pole position in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix with a lap time of 1m 15.227s.
That was just 0.022s quicker than his McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri managed, with Max Verstappen only 0.046s off Norris’s time in P3.
The result means that McLaren secured their first front row lock-out since all the way back in 2012 – Verstappen, meanwhile, is without Sergio Perez as a rear-gunner for Sunday's race, after the Mexican driver crashed out in Q1.
