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.

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.

Charles Leclerc was left distinctly flabbergasted by his own run to a "most surprising" Formula 1 pole at the Hungarian Grand Prix, having claimed that qualifying had felt "horrible" until he'd managed to reach Q3.
