F1 LIVE | Follow FP1 for the Hungarian Grand Prix

The Formula 1 circus has arrived at the Hungaroring for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. This Sunday's race in Budapest will be the first of two back-to-back Grand Prix before the summer break. Last time out, Lewis Hamilton ended his winless drought after triumphing at home in Silverstone. Will the Mercedes W15 continue to be competitive at the tight and twisty Hungaroring? Follow all the live action from the weekend's first session in Hungary here! Who will set the early pace in FP1?

In Bahrain, it looked like Max Verstappen and Red Bull might once again be untouchable. However, their domination is now long gone. six different winners from four different teams in 12 rounds have proven this. Carlos Sainz and Ferrari took victory in Australia after Verstappen retired. In Miami, a perfectly timed safety car helped Lando Norris take his maiden win as Verstappen struggled for pace. Monaco highlighted Red Bull's biggest issues, with Verstappen finishing sixth whilst Charles Leclerc took victory around his home streets. In Austria, Verstappen and Norris collided which gifted the race victory to George Russell and Mercedes. The Silver Arrows went back-to-back, as Lewis Hamilton won his 104th Grand Prix at Silverstone.

After his confidence-boosting race win, Lewis Hamilton could well be in a position to fight for victory once again. The seven-time world champion has already won eight times in Budapest at a track he adores. Can the improved Mercedes continue to challenge the top two teams? And will Ferrari return to form after a disappointing triple header?

F1 will once again use its traditional format for the Hungarian Grand Prix. This sees two practice sessions on Friday, with the third and final practice Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon will see qualifying to set the grid for Sunday's race. FP1 will allow the drivers to learn the track and collect crucial data for their respective teams.
