The Formula 1 summer break is on the horizon, but first, it’s time for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
With an impressive run late in yesterday’s third qualifying session, last year’s Hungarian GP champion, Lando Norris, snuck past both Ferraris to capture pole position in today’s race. Charles Leclerc will start second, while Norris’ teammate, Oscar Piastri, will start in third.
Due to a grid penalty, Lewis Hamilton was demoted to P5, and while Kimi Antonelli, who has won six of this season’s 10 races so far, will be in P7.
