Hello and a very warm welcome to the Late-Breaking F1 Podcast presented by me, Ben Hocking.
Reviewing today,
qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix with Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari on pole position ahead of the two McLaren drivers.
Oscar Piastri will start alongside Charles Leclerc on the front row of the grid.
Lando Norris starting from third.
And then the second row occupied by George Russell as well.
Very close qualifying in the end, particularly... in Q3,
just over one tenth of a second separating the top six drivers,
half a tenth of a second separating the top four.
Plenty to get into on today's episode because early on this was looking
like it was going to be something of a formulaic qualifying session.
It looked like, going into qualifying at least,
this was going to be a comfortable one-two for McLaren, maybe Ferrari.
Best position to challenge as the second best team.
That didn't go according to plan.
But both in a positive and a negative fashion with Leclerc in first and Lewis Hamilton in 12th.
Yeah, let's start out front.
That feels like the most natural way to kick off this episode.
