Yahoo News Hungarian Grand Prix 2021: Race start time UK, practice, qualifying and how can I watch F1 on TV today?
Lewis Hamilton blew the Formula One title door wide open by putting his Mercedes on pole for today’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion, so often the master here at the Hungaroring, delivered a spellbinding lap to silence the thousands of Max Verstappen supporters.
Verstappen could finish only third, with Valtteri Bottas joining team-mate Hamilton to form an all-Mercedes front row.
Hamilton, just eight points behind Verstappen following his controversial British Grand Prix win a fortnight ago, will head into the concluding round before the summer break with the chance to take the championship lead after racing to his first pole in almost three months.
Hamilton has now recorded eight poles in Hungary and will on Sunday bid to become the first driver to win at the same venue on nine occasions - and in the process claim his landmark 100th win.
