As the chequered flag waved, Leclerc delivered an upset performance to steal pole position from McLaren, which had looked set for a front-row lockout throughout practice.

Having looked strong throughout qualifying, Aston Martin had both its cars in Qualifying 3, Lance Stroll briefly sitting provisionally on third before Fernando Alonso split the two McLaren drivers ahead of their final run.

Gabriel Bortoleto had also reached Qualifying 3 for Sauber, as had both Racing Bulls drivers.

A final lap from Charles Leclerc moved him onto pole position, bettering Oscar Piastri ahead of Lando Norris who fell to second and third respectively.

Alonso’s effort saw fifth, behind George Russell, with Lance Stroll sixth, Bortoleto seventh, and Max Verstappen a lowly eighth.

The fifth row is an all-Racing Bulls affair, with Liam Lawson ahead of Isack Hadjar.

As Qualifying 2 began, the 15 remaining drivers were welcomed back onto the Hungaroring with reports of rain at selected corners.

That followed a drop in temperatures throughout the opening segment, which saw times tumble in the dying moments of Qualifying 1.

In Q2, there was no indication either on track or on the stopwatch that conditions had deteriorated in the initial moments.

Reports were mixed among teams as to how the weather would develop, though it proved to disappear as quickly as it had appeared.

Lewis Hamilton found himself bundled out as others improved, including George Russell, Max Verstappen and Gabriel Bortoleto.

Missing the cut alongside the Ferrari pilot was Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Carlos Sainz, and Franco Colapinto.

Antonelli had initially been classified in 11th, but had his final flying lap deleted, which dropped him to 15th.

Falling by the wayside in Q1 was Yuki Tsunoda, the highest-profile victim, who was dumped out courtesy of a late lap by Liam Lawson in the Racing Bulls. The Japanese driver was joined by Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg, and Alex Albon.
