(Reuters) – Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton took a record-extending 104th pole position of his Formula One career at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday.
The 38-year-old Briton pipped Red Bull’s championship leader Max Verstappen by just 0.003 of a second for what was also a record ninth pole at the same circuit.
It was Hamilton’s first pole position since Saudi Arabia in December 2021.
