Lando Norris will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole position after topping qualifying at the Hungaroring on Saturday.
Formula 1’s official qualifying report recorded Norris at the front of the field with a lap of 1 minute 17.207 seconds. The session set the grid for Sunday’s race and gave Norris the leading starting place after a close contest for pole.
The result puts the British driver in the strongest position for the grand prix, with the Hungaroring qualifying order now fixed ahead of the race. Formula 1 confirmed the lap time and the date of the session in its official account of qualifying.
Pole position is a significant sporting marker at the Hungaroring because it determines who controls the start from the front row. In this case, Norris secured that advantage through the fastest lap recorded in the decisive session.
The qualifying outcome means attention now turns to Sunday’s race, where Norris is due to line up first on the grid. The official report did not add race results, with the session serving only to establish the starting order for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
