Summary
Lando Norris will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole at 15:00 local time, with Charles Leclerc promoted to the front row after post-qualifying penalties reshuffled the top of the grid.
Three-place drops hit both title leaders: Lewis Hamilton fell from a front-row qualifying pace to fifth for impeding Oscar Piastri, while Kimi Antonelli dropped to seventh for not slowing under yellow flags after Max Verstappen's Q3 spin.
Oscar Piastri inherits third alongside Verstappen in fourth, with George Russell sixth; Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad and Nico Hulkenberg complete the top 10 in a tightly packed field.
Sergio Perez, who qualified 22nd for Cadillac, will start from the pit lane after set-up changes were made under parc ferme conditions.
