Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will start from pole position in today’s (Sunday, August 3) Grand Prix after finishing fastest in qualifying on Saturday (August 2).
Leclerc will start ahead of McLaren pair Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who qualified in second and third, respectively.
The Ferrari driver will be looking to claim his first victory of the 2025 F1 season, while Piastri will be searching for win number seven and the chance to extend his championship lead over Norris.
F1 starting grid for today’s Hungarian Grand Prix
Leclerc, Piastri and Norris were the three fastest drivers after qualifying, followed by Britain’s George Russell (Mercedes), who will start from fourth on the grid in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll qualified in fifth and sixth place, a major turnaround from 19th and 20th a week earlier in Belgium.
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) will start from 12th on the grid in today’s race, while fellow Brits Ollie Bearman (Haas) and Alexander Albon (Williams) will begin in 11th and 20th, respectively.
After qualifying, Hamilton came out and said he is “absolutely useless” and claimed Ferrari needs to replace him.
The 40-year-old said: “I’m useless, absolutely useless. The team have no problem. You’ve seen the car’s on pole. So we probably need to change driver.”
