CroatiaLewis Hamilton received a penalty after the qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix, which will drop him three positions on the starting grid. He qualified second but will start fifth due to obstructing Oscar Piastri during the final qualifying lap. The decision followed an investigation into the incident, where it was determined that Hamilton did not move off the ideal line in time as Piastri approached the first corner at full speed. Ferrari's team principal Frederic Vasseur had anticipated a penalty, which the race stewards ultimately confirmed. Additionally, there are potential penalties for Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell related to changes in their power units, which could further alter the starting order.
