Lando Norris Left Disappointed After Q3 Setback in Hungary
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. McLaren driver Lando Norris ended up qualifying in third for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Norris comes into Hungary trailing his teammate, Oscar Piastri, by 16 points in the Drivers' Championship. During Q2, the British driver set the fastest time of the entire qualifying session, but when it came down to delivering the time in Q3, Norris failed to perform. Not only did he struggle to get the top spot, but he starts behind Piastri as well, putting him on the backfoot for Sunday.

"From how our form is, then of course [it's disappointing], but I think Charles did a good job on the last lap," Norris said. "He probably risked a little bit more in these conditions. The wind changed a lot and it really seemed to punish us in a bigger way it seems. "Not too many complaints. We thought we both did some good laps at the end, and we were just slow. So, nothing to complain of, but Charles did a good job. "It's a long lap with many corners. It's tricky, but in Q2, we showed how quick we can go, and our advantage. But as soon as the wind changed, everything went away and the last sector became even trickier again." Norris's season has been a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs, but he is still in the hunt for the ever-elusive championship. After the session, he was asked about his goals for the race, whether it was to get ahead of his championship rival or fight for the win, but Norris appears focused on getting the best possible result. "Both. I want to go forwards, I want to win. And if I can do that, then I'll get points. "I think it's going to be an exciting race. I would expect us to have a bit more pace than Charles, so I'm looking forward to it." Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying Results

Lewis Hamilton says he's ‘useless' and suggests a driver change at Ferrari after teammate takes pole
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Lewis Hamilton called himself 'absolutely useless' and suggested Ferrari should change drivers after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix and teammate Charles Leclerc took pole position. It was a new low in a difficult first season with Ferrari for seven-time Formula 1 champion Hamilton, who qualified outside the top 10 for the second race in a row. 'I'm useless, absolutely useless,' Hamilton told British broadcaster Sky Sports. 'The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole. So they probably need to change driver.' Hamilton had said 'every time, every time' over the radio after he was eliminated in the second part of qualifying. That signified that 'it's me every time,' he clarified to Sky later. Hamilton has yet to finish on the podium in a Grand Prix race with Ferrari, with a best finish of fourth, though he did win a sprint race in China in March. Leclerc is fifth in the standings, only one position ahead of Hamilton, but has five podium finishes in 2005. In Sunday's race, he'll aim to give Ferrari its first F1 win since October. Last week, Hamilton said it was 'crunch time' and revealed he's been holding a series of meetings with Ferrari executives to discuss improvements and ensure he has more of a say in how the team develops its car for the sweeping regulation changes coming in 2026. ___ AP auto racing:
