Norris Leads Hungarian GP Practice While Leclerc Crashes.

Lando Norris from McLaren set the fastest time in Hungarian Grand Prix practice, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc suffered a heavy crash.

Lando Norris led practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix, outpacing Max Verstappen’s upgraded Red Bull by 0.243 seconds. Carlos Sainz from Ferrari was third, 0.397 seconds behind.

Red Bull's Sergio Perez was fourth, followed by Mercedes' George Russell in fifth. Lewis Hamilton placed seventh, just behind Haas driver Kevin Magnussen.

Charles Leclerc lost control at Turn Four, the fastest corner on the track, and spun into the barrier after hitting the exit curb. Despite the high-speed crash, the damage to his Ferrari was minimal.

Sauber’s Zhou Guanyu nearly had a similar incident shortly after the session resumed, which had been delayed by 16 minutes due to Leclerc's crash.
