After the fiasco in France, Ferrari will be hoping for a better result in Hungary. Leclerc again went home with zero points, allowing Verstappen to increase his lead in the driver's championship. Carlos Sainz can get back into the fray this weekend, as the Spaniard was penalised on the grid at Paul Ricard.

Who will win in Hungary?

Nobody knows for sure which team has developed the strongest car for the Hungaroring. Ferrari are expected to do well at the track, but looking at previous races, that's not saying much. Verstappen and Sergio Perez will be looking to take home as many points as possible. Mercedes expect a tough ride in Hungary, but the team always knows how to capitalise on the mistakes of others.

The first free practice session will start at 14:00 local time. However, an hour before the session starts you will find the very latest updates from the circuit. So tune in now with the liveblog below.
