Charles Leclerc: Grabs Belgian Grand Prix Pole

Leclerc grabbed pole position in dramatic circumstances at the end of Saturday's Qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix, pulling a lap out of the bag to beat McLaren pair Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, Formula1.com reports.

Analysis:

Leclerc would get through Q1 easy enough, but rain drops in Q2 would affect track conditions and make things a bit tricky. The Ferrari star would advance into Q3 and post a shocking lap of 1:15.372 to beat out the McLaren duo by mere thousandths to claim pole position. It was Leclerc's first pole of the season and 27th-career pole position. He'll challenge the McLaren's for the win Sunday in Budapest.
