But alas as last year proved, nothing can be taken for granted in Hungary. Lewis Hamilton took pole, his eighth at the Hungaroring, but couldn't possibly have predicted the sequence of events that led to him taking the restart after a red flag solo on the grid, switching to slicks a lap later than the rest of the field and being frustrated for lap after lap by Fernando Alonso as the Alpine driver's team-mate Esteban Ocon took a shock win.

A look over Forix tells us that there hasn't been a Ferrari on pole here since 2017, when Sebastian Vettel did the honours. Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc topped yesterday's FP1 and FP2 sessions in dry conditions, so are hot favourites to end that barren run in Hungary. Should they do so, who knows - perhaps they could emulate Vettel in 2017 by converting it to victory...

We mentioned the W Series race a few minutes ago. If you fancy reading the report, as Powell ended champion Jamie Chadwick's run of wins, then look no further: https://www.autosport.com/w-series/news/w-series-hungary-powell-takes-victory-to-end-chadwicks-winning-streak/10345846/

We're reliably informed that it was the first time since FP3 at the 2017 Italian GP that a Williams topped an F1 session. All told, for somebody who started watching F1 when a Williams 1-3 was nothing to write home about in its BMW-powered phase, it was a welcome dose of nostalgia. But unfortunately it will mean little come qualifying.

The conditions are far removed from those seen in FP3, which began in soaking wet conditions before a few braved the switch to intermediates late on. That explains how Williams ended up first and third, with Nicholas Latifi stunning Charles Leclerc by taking the top spot, with Alex Albon third.

We've just had the W Series race, won by Alice Powell, which began behind the safety car and ended in pretty much full dry conditions. There are still a few menacing-looking clouds lurking around though.
