F1 - Hungary Grand Prix race LIVE: Start time, leaderboard and lap-by-lap updates as Lando Norris starts on pole with Oscar Piastri second and Max Verstappen starts third

I mean, it's not really been a drought, but Max Verstappen will be desperate to get back onto that top step.

He has failed to claim victory in his last two grand prix, last reigning supreme at the Spanish Grand Prix in June.

I know it's only been a month, but with the form that Verstappen has been in over the last few years, it's too many GP's for him.

He will be desperate to stop the British three-peat.

Today is massive for Lando Norris, and that is an understatement.

He has done the first job of securing pole position, but he knows better than anyone that it doesn't always guarantee race success.

Prior to this weekend, Norris had two poles to his name from Russi in 2021, and the Spanish Grand Prix in June.

Both times he failed to translate them into race victories.

The Russian Grand Prix was particularly brutal as he suffered late heartbreak due to rain after being laps from victory.

He won't want history to repeat itself today.

I feel like I'm back at Euro 2024 all over again.

We saw Dutch football fans in Germany bounce around in their masses prior to all of their matches.

Well, it seems Formula One fans from the Netherlands do the same thing, they are having a whale of a time.

Seeing this always puts a smile on my face.

Lando Norris, McLaren, after claiming pole yesterday:

I think we should remind ourselves of what positions each driver will be starting in today.

Lando Norris will be leading the pack after claiming only his third pole position in his Formula One career.

Oscar Piastri starts just behind him in a McLaren front-row lockout, while Max Verstappen will be poised to attack early from third place.

There are some big hitters at the back as Sergio Perez starts in a lowly 16th with Geroge Russell a place below him.

Here is the grid in full:

I'm sorry, I just had to...

It's been a fabulous weekend in Hungary so far and now the time for the show-stopping event is nearly here.

After storming to pole in qualifying yesterday, Lando Norris will lead the pack out at the Hungaroring at 2pm, with his teammate Oscar Piastri just behind him.

Can Norris convert this pole into a victory? We know he has had trouble in the past...

Well, we will find out what Norris has turned up in 90 minutes.
