The 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying session was filled with dramatic twists and turns. Here are the top moments:
Rain just before the qualifying created a slippery track, making the competition even more thrilling. Drivers had to navigate the wet and unpredictable conditions, adding an extra layer of excitement.
In Q3, Max Verstappen set an early benchmark with a time of 1:15.555. But Lando Norris shattered that with a 1:15.227, leading to a wave of applause from his McLaren team.
Oscar Piastri managed to edge past Verstappen and secure second place, just 0.022 seconds behind Norris. Meanwhile, a crash by Yuki Tsunoda at Turn 5 brought out the red flags, stalling the session temporarily.
Despite a late scare from potential rain, most drivers managed a final run. Norris, Piastri, and Ricciardo held their positions, with Ricciardo moving up to ninth, while Tsunoda and Verstappen skipped the last flying lap.
Q2 was more straightforward with Lando Norris again topping the charts. Max Verstappen was close behind, with Piastri in third. The Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc rounded out the top five. Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargeant were among those eliminated from Q2.
