Live Updates: Hungarian Grand Prix F1 Qualifying

Practice is over at the Hungaroring in Hungary for round 13 of the season.

Sunday’s race kicks off a doubleheader with Spa before the summer break. Mercedes has been on fire, winning the last two weekends. But yesterday, Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris were fastest in FP1 and FP2. Now, it’s time to see who will shine in qualifying on this crucial track.

What Has Happened So Far in 2024?

At the start of the season in Bahrain, it seemed Max Verstappen and Red Bull would dominate again. But that didn’t last long! We’ve seen six different winners from four teams over 12 rounds. Carlos Sainz snagged a win for Ferrari in Australia after Verstappen retired. In Miami, Lando Norris got his first win thanks to a well-timed safety car while Verstappen struggled. Monaco was tough for Red Bull; Verstappen finished sixth as Charles Leclerc won his home race. Austria saw a collision between Verstappen and Norris, allowing George Russell to take victory for Mercedes. Then Lewis Hamilton made it back-to-back wins for Mercedes by clinching his 104th Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Fans might be thinking this season is full of surprises!

What Can We Expect from the Hungarian Grand Prix Weekend?

Friday had two practice sessions, with another one earlier today on Saturday morning before qualifying. Sunday’s race starts at 2pm UK time and today’s qualifying will set up the grid for it. The top four teams—Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes—are expected to battle hard again this weekend.

Mercedes has secured pole position here for four straight seasons, with Hamilton winning eight times at this track! Yet Max Verstappen has taken home victories here the past two years .
