Grid Penalties and Driver Frustration: The Hungarian GP's Unintended Drama The Hungarian Grand Prix has always been an unpredictable affair, but this year's qualifying session threw up its fair share of drama off track as much as on it.
Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen were the two drivers who emerged from qualifying at the top of the pile, only to find themselves handed penalties that shuffled the grid and left them grumbling about Ferrari's strategy.
Hamilton was given a three place demotion for impeding Oscar Piastri during the final moments of Q3. Initially qualified in second place behind Lando Norris, Hamilton will now start fifth after the penalty.
