F1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2024: Starting grid with penalties applied

The FIA have confirmed the official starting grid for the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix at Hungaroring.

Lando Norris kept up his strong performance this season, snatching his third-ever career pole position by a mere 0.022 seconds ahead of his team-mate Oscar Piastri. Max Verstappen fell just short in the McLaren duo's wake, settling for third on the grid - 0.046 seconds off Norris' pace.

Starting in fourth will be Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, with Lewis Hamilton, fresh off his first win in 945 days, rounding out the top five.

Further down the order, Charles Leclerc secured sixth place in the other Ferrari, followed by Aston Martin duo of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in seventh and eighth place respectively. Daniel Ricciardo in the RB slotted into P9, with his team-mate Yuki Tsunoda rounding out the top ten.

The qualifying wasn't without drama, however, as Sergio Perez brought out the red flag in Q1 after slamming his Red Bull into the barriers. The under-pressure Mexican driver ended the day in P16 and suffered his fourth Q1 exit in the last six races.

George Russell also failed to progress beyond Q1 and will start the race in 17th place.
