What to know about the Hungarian Grand Prix
The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held on 21 June 1936 over a 5-kilometre (3.1-mile) track laid out in Népliget, a park in the capital and largest city in Hungary, Budapest.
A major coup by Bernie Ecclestone, the 1986 Hungarian Grand Prix was the first Formula One race to take place behind the Iron Curtain as the event joined the FIA.
Most recent race
The British Grand Prix which was the 12th round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes on 7 July.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing finished second while McLaren driver Lando Norris secured a third-place finish at the Silverstone Circuit.
Standings
Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen is still placed at the top of the World Drivers' Championship standings despite failing to win the last two races.
Norris, Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc, and Carlos Sainz Jr are placed second, third, and fourth respectively as the battle for the Formula One world title continues.
Favourites
Verstappen will be eager to defend the Hungarian Grand Prix title, but he will face stiff competition from the likes of Leclerc, Sainz Jr, and Norris.
Not forgetting Hamilton who has won a record eight Hungarian Grand Prix titles and will be eyeing his ninth victory at the Hungaroring.
Quotes
"It was a very solid performance today and I think we maximised the result with P5 and fastest lap," Sainz Jr said after finishing fifth at the British Grand Prix.
"We executed a difficult race well under mixed conditions I was able to close the gap to the cars ahead. Unfortunately, when the track dried we were lacking a bit of pace and had to settle for fifth.
"Clearly, we still need to take a step forward to close the gap to our rivals. We now have some time off to regroup and come back stronger in Hungary."
