The Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying turned out to be an exciting and surprising session as the Aston Martins put up a great fight against McLaren, as the Ferraris struggled greatly.

During Q1, both the Ferrari's were at risk until late in the session. Yuki Tsunoda went out in Q1 as Max Verstappen progessed. Franco Colapinto out qualified Pierre Gasly.

The same happened in Q2 as both of the Ferrari's were at risk until the last second. Unfortanely, Lewis Hamilton was caught out and did not make it into Q2, qualfying 12th.
