Lando Norris set an eye-catching pace in his McLaren to beat Max Verstappen and the rest of the leading F1 pack in a Practice Two session where Charles Leclerc crashed out for Ferrari. Norris, Verstappen's nearest challenger in the championship who could have conceivably won five of the past six races instead of none, laid down an early marker for the weekend at a scorching Hungaroring with a best lap on the soft-tyre runs that put the Briton 0.243s clear of the second-placed Red Bull.
The car then scraped along the outside barrier, taking much of the advertising hoarding covering the Armco with it, before coming to rest in the run-off area at the following corner. Leclerc was on just his eighth lap of the session at the time and Ferrari will now assess the consequences of the crash in terms of car damage for the remainder of the weekend.
