F1 Qualifying Results: Red Bull suffer DISASTER session as rivals lock out front row
All the times from the Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying session
Change your timezone:
Max Verstappen's Formula 1 dominance was dented once again in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, with both McLarens qualifying ahead of the championship leader.
The session ended in dramatic fashion with a huge crash for Yuki Tsunoda bringing out a red flag with just over two minutes remaining, leaving teams scrambling to get back out for one final shootout - all but Verstappen, who stayed in the pits and accepted his fate, without a set of fresh tyres to play with.
Sergio Perez crashed out of qualifying in spectacular fashion at the Hungaroring, wrecking his Red Bull in slightly slippery conditions, hitting the wall with a huge thump in Q1.
The Mexican driver didn't set a time fast enough to make it through to Q2, and will start in 16th after doing significant damage to the left-hand side of his car - one position ahead of George Russell, who couldn't find the time to haul himself out of the drop zone in a dramatic end to the session.

Unusually, Daniel Ricciardo was actually fastest in Q1, taking advantage of the improving conditions to make headlines briefly.
A much more sedate Q2 followed, with the track drying rapidly and no further crashes, although Lewis Hamilton came within a hundredth of a second of elimination.

How does F1 Qualifying work?
