Lando Norris lost two positions on the opening lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix, as Fernando Alonso surged into a stunning start, moving up to fourth.
Alonso’s impressive performance in qualifying saw him in fifth initially, quickly overtaking Norris and moving ahead.
Norris was also overtaken by George Russell, slipping to fifth, while championship rival Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc led the way from the front row.
Leclerc’s strong early pace enabled him to break away from Piastri, denying the latter the DRS advantage.
Despite a slow start, Norris recovered on lap three, passing Alonso to claim fourth place in a crucial move.
Aston Martin has faced challenges this season, but Alonso’s resurgence in Hungary is a positive sign for the team’s future prospects.
