MOGYOROD (Hungary): Lando Norris took pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday with team-mate Oscar Piastri qualifying alongside to secure McLaren’s first front row lockout since 2012.

Red Bull’s Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen qualified third in a session that was red-flagged and then re-started with two minutes remaining when RB’s Yuki Tsunoda crashed.

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz joined triple champion Verstappen, who leads Norris by 84 points in the standings after 12 of 24 races, on the second row at a circuit where overtaking can be tricky.
