George Russell incredibly outpaces both Ferraris to snatch pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix
George Russell stunned Ferrari duo Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to take the first pole position of his Formula One career at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Sainz looked to have beaten Ferrari team-mate Leclerc to pole, but Russell – behind them on track – came through to snatch a pole position that had looked hugely unlikely as Mercedes struggled through all three of the weekend’s practice sessions.
World Championship leader Max Verstappen was 10th after a power issue caused him to abort his final attempt at a flying lap, while Red Bull’s misery was compounded by a Q2 exit for Sergio Perez, who will start 11th.
Lando Norris secured a place on the second row for McLaren ahead of the Alpines of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso, while Lewis Hamilton could only manage seventh as a DRS problem saw him also abort his final flying lap.
The surprise grid sets up a potentially thrilling race on Sunday, with Russell seeking his first F1 victory and Ferrari looking to make ground on Verstappen, who will no doubt have designs on working his way back through the field.
