F1 2024 Hungary GP LIVE: Race schedule, start time and updates as Lando Norris starts on pole position

“I tried, the whole weekend we have been a little bit behind. Tried to make it as close as possible, but just not enough. Bit difficult to pinpoint why that is, P3 is still very close. Just hope tomorrow the car is good in the race, we can follow them.

“I love competition but I’d like to be on top, at the moment I feel like we’re chasing. Bit of a tricky situation I guess.

“The last few races, McLaren have been really really good, today was a lot colder, tomorrow will be a different day – I just hope that that will help us.”

“Very happy, a one-two is better to see, congrats to the team.

“We’ve got confidence, we’ve come into the last weekends confident and we have a good car. Great job, improving every weekend, to end up on pole is sweet.

“We’re in the best position for whatever the conditions throw against us. As long as we stay where we are, we’re happy. It’s obvious what the aim is for tomorrow.”

The British driver executed an impressive lap at the Hungaroring to beat Piastri to top spot by just 0.022 seconds and claim only the third pole of his career – and McLaren’s first front-row lockout in nearly a dozen years.

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz finished fourth and British Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton took fifth. In the other Mercedes, George Russell crashed out of qualifying at the first hurdle and is set to start 17th.

Good morning and welcome to live coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix and round 13 of the 2024 season!

Lando Norris starts on pole position, leading a McLaren one-two on the grid with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in third.

Carlos Sainz is in fourth for Ferrari with Lewis Hamilton in fifth. George Russell, meanwhile, starts at the back of the pack with Sergio Perez after both men were knocked out in Q1 yesterday!

What will today bring? Stay here for all the build-up and updates – lights out is at 2pm (BST)!

Sergio Perez would not get a seat at Williams right now amid his Red Bull struggles, says former F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

The Mexican driver has endured a torrid few months, scoring just 15 points in his last six appearances, with team boss Christian Horner admitting that the 34-year-old’s form is currently “unsustainable.”

Amid speculation Perez – who only signed a new deal until the end of 2025 a month ago – could be dropped mid-season, the Mexican spun in Q1 and crashed out, leaving him 16^th on the grid for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

And 1997 world champion Villeneuve, who was highly critical of Daniel Ricciardo last month, insisted in a conversation about Williams’s driver choice for 2025 that Perez should not be on their list.

“I came to try and be at the front, we did an OK job. We got the car in a relatively good place but when it’s hot, we’re not fast.

“Session started, we were rapid and then we were slow as it got hot again.”
