Norris takes Hungarian GP pole from Hamilton

He was just a tiny bit faster than Lewis Hamilton from Ferrari.
This is the first time this season that Mercedes, who usually do really well, didn't get pole.
Hamilton is in a bit of trouble because he might have blocked another driver, Oscar Piastri.
Charles Leclerc from Ferrari and Kimi Antonelli from Mercedes also did well, coming in third and fourth.
Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin did better than usual, making it to the second part of qualifying.
It was an exciting race to see who would start at the front!
Lando Norris secured his first pole position of the season for McLaren at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton missed out on pole by 0.012 seconds and is under investigation for possibly impeding Oscar Piastri.
This is the first time in 11 rounds that Mercedes has not secured pole position this Formula One season.
Charles Leclerc qualified third, with championship leader Kimi Antonelli in fourth place.
Fernando Alonso made a minor breakthrough for Aston Martin, reaching the second phase of qualifying for the first time this season.
