Provisional starting position GP Hungary | Verstappen P3, Norris on pole

Max Verstappen will have to start the Hungarian Grand Prix from third place, behind the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. View the full starting grid for the Formula 1 race at the Hungaroring here.

Verstappen was just 0.046 short of pole position and just 0.024 short of second place. That does mean McLaren fully occupies the front row of the grid and the Dutchman will have to go on the attack in the F1 race. Next to him on the second row, Carlos Sainz will start.

Behind Verstappen and Sainz, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will start, ahead of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda complete the top ten. For Sergio Perez and George Russell, qualifying ended in a drama: Perez crashed in Q1 and as a result did not progress beyond 16th place, Russell failed to improve and will start 17th.
