The Racing Point at the Hungaroring is very fast and that was already clear from the free practice sessions, but they still had to live up to it in qualifying. Not many people expected Lance Stroll to be the fastest of the two pink cars but he impressed to take 3rd position ahead of the race tomorrow. 

"I'm very happy right now. The car was strong all weekend and it was just a matter of getting it done during qualifying. Now we just have to get a lot of points."

Stroll and teammate Sergio Perez were able to qualify for Q3 on the medium tyre. That's definitely worth mentioning. "It was definitely a gamble, but it'll give us a good position for tomorrow."
