Charles Leclerc will be chasing Ferrari’s first win in Formula 1 this year after taking a surprise pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix ahead of title contenders Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Charles Leclerc put Ferrari on pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday with McLaren’s Formula One leader Oscar Piastri alongside on the front row.

The bemusement initially hidden by Leclerc’s helmet remained etched on his face after he hopped out of his car and celebrated with his Ferrari teammates. “Today, I don’t understand anything in Formula One!” he said in parc ferme, explaining how it’d been a struggle to advance through qualifying, let alone be in the mix at the front.
