A big cheer and then Lewis Hamilton was left shaking his head. From a likely pole one moment to demotion down the grid a couple of hours later, his world championship hopes rocked in Hungary.
The first jab was Lando Norris snatching the front spot with a late and skilled ambush. The second punch was administered in the stewards’ room, where Hamilton was inevitably penalised for inadvertently impeding McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.
Hamilton was relegated from second on the grid to fifth. Mercifully, Championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who qualified fourth, and was then elevated to third, will now start from seventh after his own penalty. Hamilton is 45 points off the Italian after 10 rounds.
Poor Lewis, he was let down by his Ferrari team not warning him that Piastri was coming up fast behind him, and now he has it all to do having looked to be favourite for victory, conceivably even from second on the grid.
'Sometimes you can’t catch a break,’ said Hamilton, a record eight-time winner at the Hungaroring. 'I have been feeling great all weekend but then it all falls apart.
'It will be tough. But we will work overnight to give ourselves the best chance.'
Before his setbacks, Hamilton seemed to think he had qualified first, judging by how he pulled into parc ferme next to the marker with No 1 on it.
Norris was still out on track and piecing together his smooth assault on the top, a chance he was gifted by Hamilton being unable to improve on his first run that had temporarily put him in command.

Reigning champion Lando Norris roared through to claim his first pole of the year by 0.012s
Barely any driver was conjuring extra speed in the final stages, bar Norris, who pipped Hamilton by 0.012sec to secure the first pole of his title defence. The No 1 marker was moved by officialdom in front of the world champion’s McLaren. No 2 was placed by the red car.
Then, Hamilton’ summons to the stewards at 6pm local time, an appointment all the more galling because his car is fastest, a point he believes he could have underlined today in normal circumstances.
‘We have been doing a great job all weekend,’ he said, slow to raise much cheer in the immediate aftermath, distracted by the prospect of his incoming penalty. ‘I felt solid throughout qualifying and, for some reason, we went out first, which I don’t think was the right call.
‘And for some reason the grip wasn’t there then.
‘We’re obviously competitive but I think tomorrow is going to be a hard day. We’ll fine-tune things tonight to give ourselves the best chance.’
One positive to hang on to is that the Silver Arrows looked a shadow of their formerly dominant selves.
Indeed, this was the first time this campaign that neither of their cars set the qualifying pace. Instead, Hamilton’s team-mate Charles Leclerc was third fastest, later promoted to second.
George Russell, in the second Mercedes, was only seventh quickest, his championship dream increasingly bleak. Fifty points off the summit, he had to abandon his car on his way into the pits, a water leak having sprung his latest dose of bad luck. He will be fitted with a new engine for the race, saying good riddance to his last one.
