George Russell managed to pull off a surprise at the
Hungarian Grand Prix. The Briton secured pole position in qualifying, beating
Max Verstappen and
Charles Leclerc.
It means the Mercedes driver can try to take victory in Hungary from the front on Sunday afternoon. He won't have an easy time of it though, as with
Carlos Sainz and Leclerc right behind him, the task from the start is to keep the competition behind him.
Sergio Perez again disappointed in qualifying. The Mexican finished 11th on the grid and faces a tough task.
Sebastian Vettel, who announced this week that he is retiring from
Formula 1, will start from P19.
