Norris set a fastest time of one minute 15.227 to secure the provisional pole, with Verstappen second and 0.328 slower.
The front row lockout was McLaren's first since Lewis Hamilton qualified ahead of Jenson Button in Brazil 2012, the seven times world champion's last race for the team before moving to Mercedes.Verstappen, winner of the last two races in Hungary, had an upgraded car but said it felt"like we are chasing and have a few more difficult weekends."
