Lewis Hamilton and title leader Kimi Antonelli hit by grid penalties after Norris takes pole in Hungary

Lando Norris claimed pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix, beating Lewis Hamilton by just 0.012 seconds. Hamilton was subsequently handed a three-place grid penalty for blocking Oscar Piastri during qualifying, dropping him to fifth on the grid; Ferrari were blamed for failing to warn Hamilton about the approaching Piastri. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who holds a 45-point advantage over Hamilton, also received a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow sufficiently under yellow flags following Max Verstappen's spin.
