Lando Norris never doubted himself, or McLaren, as he spoke of his team's confidence after clinching pole position to lead a one-two for the Hungarian Grand Prix on July 20.
Teammate Oscar Piastri will start alongside the Briton in a front-row lockout for the race on July 21, as McLaren sent out a warning to Red Bull that they are ready for battle.
Red Bull's Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen qualified third after the third qualifying session that was red-flagged when RB's Yuki Tsunoda crashed in rainy conditions and then restarted with two minutes remaining.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz will start alongside Verstappen on the second row.
"Very, very happy. Not an easy qualifying with different conditions like that, but ending up on top is the best part of it all. Especially for the team, a one-two is even better, so congrats to the team," said Norris.
"We have already got confidence, so it's not like we need a lot more of it or we are searching for it.
"We have come into this weekend confident we can do a good job and we have a good car to fight for pole, which is what we did today.
