Lando Norris shocks the grid with his first pole of 2026 at the Hungarian GP, edging out Lewis Hamilton by a hair—0.012 seconds—in a white-knuckle final lap under scorching heat. It’s his first pole since Las Vegas and the first time Mercedes has been dethroned in qualifying this season. Norris found the magic in the tricky final sector, while Mercedes struggled with car balance on the bumpy Hungaroring. Rookie Kimi Antonelli stunned with fourth, ahead of Piastri and Verstappen—who spun and dropped to sixth.
