It starts at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET / 1300 GMT). Hungarian Grand Prix venue Twisty, bumpy and dusty, the Hungaroring is one of the hardest tracks to overtake on all year. It's even been likened to the Monaco street circuit for the importance of qualifying and grid position. Hungary first hosted an F1 race under communist rule in 1986. Lewis Hamilton is the record holder there with eight wins from 2007-2020. Oscar Piastri took his first career win last year after an awkward stand-off with teammate Lando Norris over team orders.
