F1 Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

Ferrari led the way in Friday practice ahead of Saturday's qualifying, with Charles Leclerc topping the more representative FP2 session by over two tenths of a second.

Lando Norris was a surprise second for McLaren, while Daniel Ricciardo showed Norris' pace wasn't a fluke by setting the fifth-fastest lap behind Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) and the top Red Bull of championship leader Max Verstappen.
