Overview

• The Hungaroring weekend returns to its traditional format with three practice sessions beginning Friday, qualifying on Saturday at 15:00 BST, and Sunday’s 70-lap race at 14:00 BST.
• Oscar Piastri holds a 16-point championship advantage over teammate Lando Norris after his Belgian GP win and will seek to defend that margin at the site of his first career victory.
• Known as “Monaco without barriers,” the 4.38-kilometer circuit’s tight and twisty layout remains one of the season’s toughest tracks for overtaking.
• Teams face mostly sunny conditions but must plan for a 43% chance of rain during qualifying and a 15% risk of showers on race day in Budapest.
• Sky Sports F1 in the UK and ESPN’s channels in the US will provide live coverage, with select free-streaming options available before Formula One’s mandatory two-week summer shutdown.
