Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix – How to watch, start time & more

The Hungaroring plays host to the 11th round of the 2021 Formula 1 season before the series heads into its now-traditional summer break. Here's how you can watch the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Mercedes heads to the race as the firm favourite after Lewis Hamilton led a front-row lockout for the German manufacturer in Saturday's qualifying.

Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will share the second row of the grid, with Pierre Gasly an excellent fifth for AlphaTauri.

Mercedes and Red Bull have opted for two very different strategies going into the grand prix. While Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were able to progress into Q3 on medium tyres and hence will have a tyre advantage in the first stint, both Verstappen and Perez will have to start on the more degradation-prone soft compound.
