Lance Stroll finds himself on the end of a lap time deletion, so the Canadian tumbles to 10th after those opening Q3 runs.
George Russell lost a little bit of time in the final sector, so has the Mercedes got more to show us on the next run? The wind might have been a factor for Russell, who tells his engineer it's quite gusty now out on track.

Where has that been all weekend? We haven't really spoken about the Mercedes being really up there threatening the McLarens.
Piastri on provisional polepublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 2 August

Fernando Alonso is quickest now with a 1:16.025 but that's wiped out by the two McLarens.
Lando Norris goes top first but Oscar Piastri finds 0.096 seconds in his car to go onto provisional pole.
And George Russell is third! Excellent time by the Mercedes driver.

The track will come alive in the last few minutes and we will see the two McLarens fighting it out on the second set of tyres especially.

Lance Stroll is first to clock a time and it's a 1:16.660.
Postpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 2 August

The TV cameras have just picked up Lewis Hamilton walking down the Ferrari garage to the sanctuary of his driver's room, helmet still on. His post-qualifying interview will be interesting.
Go! Go! Go!published at 15:51 British Summer Time 2 August

The Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli was a nightmare to handle between Turns Seven and Nine. Over at Sauber, fellow rookie Gabriel Bortoleto was delighted to reach the pole fight again. Let's go! Again! Yes!" said the Brazilian on the Sauber radio.
Here we go then. Who is taking pole? You lot reckon Lando Norris.

Fernando Alonso only used one set of tyres in that session and is up in P5. That means he's got the extra set to use here in Q3.
Postpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 2 August

Kimi Antonelli's lap time was deleted for track limits at Turn Four which dropped him to 15th place. That lifts Lewis Hamilton to 12th on the grid on Sunday.

Lewis Hamilton, who has won more races around this track than anyone else in history, is out and obviously having a very difficult time.

Hamilton out in Q2published at 15:44 British Summer Time 2 August

There won't be a chance of a 10th pole position at the Hungaroring for Lewis Hamilton. His Saturday ends at the second stage of qualifying and he'll line up 12th on tomorrow's grid.
"Every time. Every time," he says on the Ferrari team radio.
Postpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 2 August

Lewis Hamilton has fallen to P12, which now becomes P13 as Gabriel Bortoleto gets himself into the Q3 fight in the Sauber.
Leclerc goes up to P5published at 15:42 British Summer Time 2 August

Charles Leclerc improves but he doesn't get to far up the order - only to fifth spot. Lewis Hamilton is into the top 10 but it'll be a nervy wait for the 40-year-old, as seventh place not becomes 10th. He's in trouble now...

To my right there is blue sky and white fluffy clouds, and it feels like the threat of rain has kind of dissipated.
Postpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 2 August

Carlos Sainz has a wheel over the white line in the pit lane but his Williams is still trying to find a gap to slot into the queue to get out. It's tense times in Q2. In danger is Lewis Hamilton, Sainz, Gabriel Bortoleto, Kimi Antoenlli and Franco Colapinto.

Charles Leclerc [on the team radio] is saying that he would rather have a clear track and not worry about traffic than get the best of the ramping track conditions.
Postpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 2 August

Charles Leclerc is 10th after those opening runs and the Monegasque man is absolutely clear on the team radio he wants Ferrari to focus on one thing and to try and get him some decent space to bank a lap. Lewis Hamilton is one placer lower than his team-mate, so work to do for the seven-time world champion.

This lap could be absolutely critical for everybody.
Norris goes quickestpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 2 August

Bank those laps in early, folks. Lando Norris is next to cross the line and he goes half a second quicker than the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso. Oscar Piastri also steps over the Spaniard, but his time is 0.051 seconds off Norris' best marker. It's a McLaren one-two again, though.
