This weekend, Formula 1 returns to a favourite circuit as the Hungaroring Circuit in Budapest hosts the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton took his first victory in 31 months at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, holding off a late charge from Max Verstappen to take his ninth home race victory.

Despite this, Verstappen has an 84-point lead in the Formula 1 world championship halfway through the season, with Lando Norris in second place, and he is aiming for another victory after coming close to winning on a couple of occasions in recent weeks.

Mercedes, meanwhile, are aiming for a third straight victory this weekend after George Russell’s win in Austria, while Ferrari will be hoping to return to form after a nail-biting triple-header in which Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz struggled for pace. Verstappen won last year’s race in Budapest by a comfortable margin.

Below you will find all the important information ahead of this weekend’s race:
