Lando Norris set the fastest time in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix to score the third pole position of his Formula 1 career, with team-mate Oscar Piastri completing a front-row lock-out for McLaren.

Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz complete the second row, but Sergio Perez’s “blip” that began at the Miami Grand Prix continued, as he crashed out of qualifying for the second weekend in succession. 

Red flags were shown as his car was recovered in Q1 and flew again in Q3 when Yuki Tsunoda, who finished 10th fastest, crashed heavily at Turn 5.
