Hungaroring, Saturday, 20 July

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as well as Team Principal Andrea Stella, after Qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

“I’m very happy with that! It wasn’t an easy qualifying session with the constant changing conditions, but we’ve been improving steadily and have come into this weekend confident that we can do a good job. Congratulations to the team – having a 1-2 here is brilliant and a great reward for everyone’s hard work.

“Looking ahead to tomorrow, the conditions may be different again, but we’re in the best position to cope with whatever the weather delivers. The car is going fine, I feel like I’m driving well and we’re looking forward to putting in another strong performance on track.”

“Very cool to be on the front row and a great result for the team. My final lap was a good one, though to miss out on pole by a couple of hundredths, you’re always thinking of the small things you could have done a little better.

“We had a bit of a tricky day on my side of the garage yesterday, but everyone worked hard, and it was nice to bounce back well this morning. We then built on that this afternoon with a positive Quali in challenging conditions. Let’s start strong tomorrow and secure a mega result for the team!”

“This is a great qualifying result for the team both at track and back in Woking and a testament to the consistent effort and resilience they have shown this season. To have both drivers on the front row says so much about our driver line-up and the pace of the car of which the whole team can be proud.  

“Of course, now our attention turns to the race, which is the result that really matters. We have put ourselves in the best possible starting position, but there are many factors both inside and outside our control to now navigate and for that we now prepare.”
