F1 Hungarian GP – Start time, how to watch, starting grid & more

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton took a surprise pole position after beating Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 0.003s in a tight qualifying session at the Hungaroring. 

Hamilton is the most successful driver in Hungary in F1's history, with eight grand prix wins to his name - including three in a row between 2018-20.

Lando Norris and Osca Piastri will share the second row of the grid as McLaren was able to continue the strong form it first displayed at Silverstone earlier this month.
