Francorchamps last weekend, the Aston Martins qualified in the top 10 in Hungary – just one-tenth of a second off pole position

Lando Norris lost two positions on the opening lap of the Hungarian Grand Prix, with two-time world champion Fernando Alonso getting off to a stunning start. Alonso put in a brilliant performance on Saturday to qualify up in fifth for Sunday's race around the Hungaroring, and quickly got himself past Norris and up into fourth.

Aston Martin says Fernando Alonso has been “medically cleared” to drive ahead of Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix after he missed the first practice session because of a back injury.
