Qualifying Highlights | 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

Hamilton fastest of anyone sector one sector two putting all of that experience to good use and off the back of what was a confidence inspiring Championship drive in silverston and uh he's able to find the grip for that opening lap I don't think we can improve like this what's your concern the temperatures or the the ring the r Paris okay calm down Max then if you're concerned about the rain we can box you can come back to the garage it's not a problem you were talking to me about tit one Red Bull driver being calmed down on the radio the other one in the middle part of the track finds the barrier and a driver under pressure coming into the weekend finds the wall once again in Formula 1 qualifying Sergio Perez is okay that's the most important thing but Sergio Perez is out in the first part of qualifying that's down at turn eight in the middle sector and it's another moment for Perez when the rain started to fall that he's found the barriers checker flag out V staffin done an identical time to Lewis Hamilton massive Improvement in the middle sector for Daniel Ricardo there's time to be found out there Ricardo goes fastest of anyone so far currently looking over their shoulders dropping down it's Pierre gazley who's stuck in the pit Lane Russell could yet be in trouble everyone behind him is improving and by a huge amount he's now 13th and shuffling down Albin goes to fifth hulkenberg from the back to sixth position gazley in the Drop Zone okon in the Drop Zone Coda improves to eighth position it's changed right at the end now can the salvas get through Joe just misses out Russell is at risk though can botas knock out Russell he can botas gets himself through into the next part of qualifying and George Russell for the second year in a row will be eliminated in q1 at the hungar ring Magnus finds a time that gets him to 15th he will continue to play a part in Formula 1 qualifying and it changed right at the last Perez hit the wall he's out Russell improved but then the track dried up even further Joe improv but not by enough and Alpine weren't on the circuit at the right time Aon and gazley on the back row Fernando Alonzo trying to beat his teammate trying to take his place in the top 10 here he's always been in the points here in recent times trying to continue that run improves his lap time not his position Hamilton's not safe in ninth position one Mercedes has gone out cod's improving hulkenberg is on a lap as well as is botas Hamilton is not safe in ninth currently he is not improving Hamilton is done in terms of his lap time on the racetrack risky moments for Alex Alan Logan Sergeant down to 11th and now it's suuki sonoda in the VAB gets himself up to eighth position Ricardo is currently in ninth the driver at risk is Lewis Hamilton and vry botas and hulkenberg are on Personal Best hulkenberg's quicker than Hamilton through two sectors Hamilton's in big trouble Hamilton is done he has crossed the line the checkered flag is waving botas hulkenberg Magnuson all aiming for that top 10 it's 11th for botas what about hulkenberg can he find a time that's good enough no he's in 11th place Magnuson trying to find his way to Q3 for the first time this year and he can't get there oh what a reprieve at the end for Lewis Hilton who's made it through by 100th of a second 100th is a tiny margin but it sees Hamilton through for a refresh and a go at getting higher up the order he's got two corners to go before he puts his time on the board looking for his ninth pole position of the season and 41st all time time to beat a 115 555 and look at the way that he jumps immediately off the racing line to not give Norris a toe fasri has not done the job in the first two sectors he's good in the final sector but there's a 310th gap between the first Red Bull and the first McLaren Norris only now starts a flyer he will hope it stays dry third place for Carlo sign doesn't have an answer to pastry or Max vapen what about Lewis Hamilton nine times on pole position at this circuit in the past but he can't get onto the provisional front row as it stands he's ahead of Carlos signs third place for him fighting the car soaring away at the steering wheel charl lir one of four pole sitters so far this year he's up to third this is the penultimate corner of the racetrack for a driver who is chasing Pole Position number three in Formula 1 he'll want to get it done on the first run in case the rain is arriving Lando Norris to the line and to the front of the field by 3/10 of a second that's provisional poll and then some this one is not settled yet 3 minutes to go improving times on the racetrack let's see what Oscar piastri can do chasing his Maiden pole position in Formula 1 he's missed out by 200s of a second it's a provisional front row for McLaren signs in the mix though for stappen in the mix who can get to the front row who can get to pole SS fighting the car the Ferrari is not so good as the lap continues and the time eving away for Carlos SS but what can vapen do about Norris's Benchmark this looks good for Max vapen he goes past Lando Norris Norris will get the right of reply he will hope the rain stays light but ven gun to the line ven just misses out he's behind Norris he's behind piastri and he finds himself in third place as Yuki sonoda finds the barrier and the red flag comes out with an all McLaren front row with a VC carb in the wall and V stappen got close he was 400s of a second away Yuki Coda is okay but the red flag is flying to interrupt the push laps of Alonzo of Ricardo and the man who dropped it pushing on there Norris didn't get a ride of reply not at this stage it's a very unusual place for him to end up is is on the outside of turn five which is newly uh cross oh my word launched off it up high into the barrier okay something happened sorry very very unusual you know he was definitely running wide but you would have expected Julian just to see the rear step out on him but it actually looked like the whole car just was like a magnet to the arm Kario Max EST stappen won't be heading back out there with two minutes to go as Lando Norris comes in to celebrate a third career pole position and he did it on the first run he had to do it on the first run what a lap it was pastri and vapa both had challenges but couldn't quite get there it ends up being one of those famously close Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying sessions Lando Norris at the front of the field for the second time this season for the third time in his career Oscar piastri equals his best result in Formula 1 qualifying
