McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have locked out the front row for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen lurking just behind in P3.

What’s intriguing about this circuit is that passing isn’t conditional on top speeds and downforce levels (we’ll have a bit of that next week at Spa) but much more about tyres and managing rear degradation.
