The Ferrari driver considers Hungary his worst track so far. Fortunately, it has become his best track of the season in 2025.

At one points, four different teams were trying to get to the front row.

His final time was 1:15.372. The Tifosi have a big reason to celebrate today.<\/p><p>Almost every prediction ended with one name on pole, a McLaren. However, today the Papaya drivers lost out to Ferrari in the final moments of the qualifying session. Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri could not improve enough to strike down the Ferrari from provisional pole. Oscar Piastri was the better McLaren starting on front row.

Fernando Alonso is the living example for the same. The two Aston Martins will be extremely happy today. A P5 and P6 finish for Alonso and Stroll is one of their best finishes in qualifying in 2025. The best part of today&rsquo;s qualifying was Alonso&rsquo;s driving.

I got into online journalism a couple of years ago. I used to be an intern for a website managing their Formula 1 content and then I served an entire year as a contractual writer. For me, online journalism was not something I expected. I am a Mechanical Engineer aiming to join Formula 1. At the same time, I am a poet, writer and my university\\'s Literary Club Lead. One day the dots connected together and I realised I could use my writing skills to convey my passion for Motorsports. The biggest aspects I love about my role are- Scuderia Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel. When I am not fawning over them I like to convey my opinions to the public, in a manner which helps them gain a new point of view. I love helping people explore new ideas about Motorsports and obviously get recognised as a writer all over the world. Message to Readers: I promise you one day you\\'ll see me managing operations on track with a Formula 1 team ; ) \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rohan-singh-9830ba261"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rohan\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78033"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78033"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78036,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78033\/revisions\/78036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
