The formerly dominant seven-time world champion is on pole position today for the first time since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, having stunned reigning title-holder Max Verstappen with an incredible final qualifying lap at the Hungaroring on Saturday.
He ended up beating his one-time Formula 1 championship rival by just 0.003 seconds, with Verstappen having to make do with P2 followed by the resurgent McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri and Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu.
Verstappen will no doubt still fancy his chances of securing a seventh consecutive victory despite Hamilton’s superb record in Hungary, though we could be in for an intriguing series of battles throughout the grid on Sunday.
