So Mercedes' season of torment took a turn for the better, ho Max Verstappen suffered mechanical issues in the third qualifying session and will start from a lowly tenth place following a disastrous qualifying for Red Bull
What a difference a day makes. Mercedes were struggling to cling on to the coattails of the leading cars in practice on Friday, so the team toiled late in their trucks. I can vouch for this because I bumped into Russell as I left the Hungaroring deep into that evening. He was cross-eyed from staring at data and was taking himself off to cycle the track to clear his mind.
How it worked, as he qualified 0.044sec ahead Ferrari's Carlos Sainz with Charles Leclerc third best in the other red car, while Red Bull's defending champion Max Verstappen was only 10th as he suffered power failure.
Lewis Hamilton also suffered mechanical gremlins during the session with a DRS issue meaning he will only start the race from seventh place
Hamilton will be hoping to improve on race day at a track he has won at eight times
Russell picks up the story of his accomplishment on the twisty circuit. ‘I went round Turn One and I was a tenth-and-a-half up on my previous time,' he said. ‘I went round Turn Two and I was three-tenths up. Everything was in the window. When you are on one of those laps, and in the groove, it just keeps on coming, keeps on coming.
‘For us as a team it is massive. Yesterday was probably our toughest Friday of the whole season. We were all here until 11pm, morale was pretty down. We felt pretty lost and had to come back. To get pole position 24 hours later is such a feeling because I know what we went through.'
Russell has already earned the moniker ‘Mr Saturday' for his extraordinary record at Williams in out-qualifying his teammates practically every time.
His best one-lap performance prior to yesterday's came at Spa last year where he put himself second on the grid in treacherous conditions. He also finished runner-up in the grand prix next day, but that was a farcical non-race comprising two laps behind the safety car.
There was support from British fans at the Hungaroring near Budapest on Saturday
The Ferraris will be tough to withstand during the 70-lap test that comes this afternoon, though Mercedes' long pace has been intermittently encouraging in recent weeks.
‘I'm already thinking about tomorrow, the run off the line, Turn One, how can I keep the lead and what am I going to have to do to win,' said Russell.

‘Getting pole is great, but I have learnt that Saturdays don't mean a huge amount. Sunday is when points and prizes are won, but I'm just so happy about the progress we have made. Going into the summer break this is huge.'
Over at the Mercedes hospitality area, team principal Toto Wolff led the chorus of acclaim for the British driver in his first season with the Silver Arrows, even if he seemed a little sore about Hamilton's predicament.
‘George is a champion in the making,' said the Austrian, hardly needing Poirot-like powers of detection to come to that finding. ‘He was a champion in all of the junior categories, in F2 and F3 as a rookie, and we would never have put him in a Mercedes if he didn't believe what he could be a future world champion.
‘Today is another milestone of the many he is going to achieve.'

website McEVOY AT THE HUNGARORING, BUDAPEST: George Russell claimed his first pole position with a brilliant flying lap in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

His Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton was seventh. 'No points for Saturday,' said Russell moments later, as he composed himself for the 70 laps in front of him on Sunday.","headline":"George Russell secures the FIRST pole position of his career after sensational lap... as world champion Max...","liveBlogUpdate":[{"@type":"BlogPosting","articleBody":"Where did this come from?!

GEORGE RUSSELL IS ON POLE POSITION FOR MERCEDES



Where did this come from?! George Russell has claimed his first pole position of his career after pipping both Ferraris.


What a session that was too! Verstappen could not get that problem fixed and will start tenth, and even Lewis Hamilton had DRS issues. Here are your top 10:


1. George Russell


2. Carlos Sainz


3. Charles Leclerc


4. Lando Norris
5. Esteban Ocon
6. Fernando Alonso
7. George Russell
8. Valtteri Bottas
9. Daniel Ricciardo
10. Max Verstappen













15:58


It's not getting better for Verstappen



He comes out of the garage and is already reporting a loss of power - his afternoon good get a lot worse here...













15:55


Meanwhile, Verstappen is way down in seventh!



A poor lock up forced him to run wide early in the lap and it costs him dear. It's a cracking top five after the first runs, with Carlos Sainz ahead of George Russell, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.















15:53


The Ferraris are out first among the lead teams



Leclerc goes quickest with a steady lap and his conservatism costs him as Carlos Sainz goes nearly half a second a lap faster













15:49


Qualifying three is underway



Looks like being a dry session with those dark clouds veering away from the circuit, as the cars make their way out onto the track.













15:44


Big shock for Red Bull as Perez is dumped out



Admittedly, Perez appeared to be blocked by Kevin Magnussen but considering his team-mate is fastest, the Mexican really should at least ha













15:41


END OF QUALIFYING TWO



Eliminated from Q2: Sergio Perez, Guanyu Zhou, Kevin Magnussen, Lance Stroll, Mick Schumacher.













15:39


Just a tenth between the title rivals...



Not even that really as Leclerc tucks into second place just behind Verstappen. Alonso remains third. ahead of Sainz and Hamilton.













15:37


Who is in trouble with just under five minutes to run?



Esteban Ocon, Valtteri Bottas, Kevin Magnussen, Lance Stroll, Mick Schumacher are all on in trouble as Carlos Sainz reports 'spots of rain'.













15:33


Fernando Alonso may be 41 years old...



And it was his birthday coming into the weekend - he's still quick though at the circuit where he took his first grand prix win 19 years ago going second and just two tenths behind Max Verstappen.













15:31


Red Bull soon hit back though



Max Verstappen and Red Bull are also on the new tyre so it's no surprise to see the world champion go quickest by nearly half-a-second.













15:30


There seems to be a bit of pace in the McLaren this weekend



British star Lando Norris goes fastest ahead of the Ferrari and Mercedes duo, but it must be noted he too is running a new set of tyres.













15:26


Away we go in Qualifying Two



The two Haas drivers lead us out, while Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are also among the early birds emerging from the garage.

15:22


Mercedes lead the way after Q1...

15:19


END OF QUALIFYING ONE



Eliminated from Q1: Yuki Tsunoda, Alex Albon, Sebastian Vettel, Pierre Gasly, Nicholas Latifi.













15:17


And that's quickly all changed...



The track is heating up the times are coming down and now in trouble are Alex Albon, Bottas, Esteban Ocon, Daniel Ricciardo and Tsunoda.













15:14


Who is in trouble heading into the final five minutes



Q1 is all about getting rid of the slowest five drivers and right now in the elimination zone are Zhou, Nicholas Latifi, Sebastian Vettel, Yuki Tsunoda and Mick Schumacher.














15:12


Max Verstappen sets the early pace in qualifying

















15:10


Hmmm, wasn't expecting that from the Ferrari boys



Carlos Sainz goes fifth fastest and half a second down on Verstappen while Charles Leclerc's time is only good enough for tenth. A couple of dodgy laps maybe. I certainly expected more from the Maranello outfit but we are still just in Q1.













15:08


Still no sign of Ferrari



And they have looked very quick this weekend. They are only cars not on the track as Lando Norris goes second for McLaren while Valtteri Bottas goes third for Alfa Romeo.













15:06


Mercedes are among those who have gone out early



On these cooler days, Mercedes can struggle for one-lap pace so it's no surprise to see Lewis Hamilton and George Russell already out on the track looking to get up to speed. They go second and third but are seven tenths of a second down on Max Verstappen. Expect the Silver Arrows to improve though.













15:02


QUALIFYING ONE IS UNDERWAY



There really are some dark clouds looming over the track. Apparently there is a good chance it will remain dry. I struggle to believe that but having said that, another glance in the opposite direction is bright sunshine. Away we go - teams are not that keen to get a banker lap as only a few run out early on.














14:50








Although their racing has been close and wheel-to-wheel on many occasions, the relationship between this season's title challengers


Verstappen and Leclerc have had many head-to-head charges this term that have excited fans and leave the current world champion 63 points in front heading into














14:42


However, the track is currently dry near Budapest



So as it stands then we could perhaps see another battle between Verstappen and Leclerc. But dark clouds still loom over the track and the threat of rain is there.


Could a sudden downpour hand out a rare opportunity to grab a surprise pole position? Maybe one for Lewis Hamilton perhaps?

14:15


How will qualifying go today?



Usually we have a fair idea of who will be challenging for the pole position battle but today it appears it could be anyone's if final practice is anything to go by.


The rain track at the Hungaroring saw Nicholas Latifi go fastest for Williams















14:06


A pivotal weekend in the Formula One title battle?



They all feel pivotal don't they? But this feels like a fork in the road for this season's championship battle.


Another win for Verstappen and he really will be in the pound seats to retain his world title, but if Charles Leclerc can get back to winning ways can it spearhead a Ferrari comeback after the summer break?
