Piastri's teammate Lando Norris is in third, George Russell put his Mercedes fourth, while Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll were fifth and sixth respectively.
Piastri holds a 16-point lead over Norris heading into Sunday night's race.

What do I need to know about the track?
The Hungaroring is a track that rewards the very best drivers because it is a tricky and technical circuit.
Much like Monaco, qualifying is very important around the Hungaroring as overtaking opportunities are scarce.
The two best opportunities for a driver to overtake are at turns 1 and 2, both at the end of DRS zones.
After the second turn, the track is very technical and requires a driver to be inch-perfect at every corner.
The sequence of corners that come in rapid succession leads to teams often electing for high-downforce packages on their cars.
