## Resource

Lando Norris stormed to pole position in final practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix with a blistering 1:17.939, narrowly edging out Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli in a battle of mere hundredths. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri led early with a 1:22 lap, but a red flag halted proceedings after Sergio Perez’s car smoked ominously. When racing resumed, Ferrari and Mercedes pushed hard, with Hamilton briefly taking the lead before Norris reclaimed it. Antonelli impressed despite a kerb moment, while Red Bull’s Verstappen and Hadjar struggled with handling on the bumpy track. Audi showed promise mid-field. With qualifying looming, the top four are locked in a three-tenths battle — Norris, Hamilton, and Antonelli all vying for pole. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown.
