F1 Qualifying Results from the Hungarian Grand Prix
The 13th round of the F1 2025 season, held at the Hungaroring, saw some dramatic moments during qualifying. Charles Leclerc delivered a standout performance, securing pole position in a session that surprised many. Lewis Hamilton's elimination at the end of qualifying was a key highlight, as he failed to advance beyond the second segment.
Leclerc’s impressive lap proved to be the deciding factor, allowing him to take the top spot despite strong competition from McLaren. The team had appeared to be on track for a front-row lockout throughout the practice sessions. However, Leclerc’s final run pushed him ahead of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who ended up in second and third positions respectively.
Aston Martin also showed promise, with both Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso making it through to the final qualifying session. Stroll briefly held third place before Alonso managed to split the two McLaren drivers, securing fifth place behind George Russell. Stroll finished in sixth, while Gabriel Bortoleto, representing Sauber, came in seventh. Max Verstappen, on the other hand, ended up in eighth place, which was a disappointing result for the Red Bull driver.
The fifth row of the grid is dominated by Racing Bulls, with Liam Lawson leading the way, followed by Isack Hadjar. This shows the team's strong performance in the session.
Weather Conditions and Qualifying Progression
As Qualifying 2 commenced, the 15 remaining drivers returned to the track with reports of rain at certain corners. This followed a drop in temperatures during the opening segment, which led to improved times in the final moments of Qualifying 1.
In Q2, there were no clear signs of deteriorating conditions, either on the track or on the stopwatch. Teams received mixed reports about the weather, but it eventually disappeared quickly. Despite this, several drivers found themselves eliminated, including Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Max Verstappen, and Gabriel Bortoleto.
Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Carlos Sainz, and Franco Colapinto also failed to make it through to the next stage. Antonelli initially qualified in 11th place but had his final lap deleted, dropping him to 15th. Yuki Tsunoda, one of the highest-profile casualties, was eliminated after a late lap by Liam Lawson in Racing Bulls. He was joined by Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg, and Alex Albon.
