It’s the last race before the summer break, can you believe how far we’re into the 2018 season already!?! This time the F1 circus travels to Hungary. How do you see this race going? Let us know in the comments! For all the start times and sessions, see the timetable below.

The weekend starts with the two Free Practice sessions on Friday at the Hungaroring. The first one, FP1, starts in the morning as the action gets underway at ten.

Between FP1 and FP2, the executives' press conference will take place. The line-up for this hasn't been announced yet.

FP2 then starts at two o'clock BST. For an hour and a half, the drivers should be doing better times. FP2 is usually a good indicator of where the teams are in terms of race pace, as most teams attempt some long runs in this sessions.

Saturday is not only for qualifying but also for the third practice, which will take place in the morning again. Usually, the pace does improve, but teams tend to take it easier, as potential crashes in FP3 could mean that your car can't be fixed in time for qualifying which we have seen examples of already this season.

The qualifying itself starts at two o'clock BST on Saturday. It should be another exciting battle between Ferrari and Mercedes. Any of the top 3 teams will be hoping to avoid what happened to Hamilton in Q1 last weekend!

Sunday's race will start at ten past two BST as usual. The Hungarian Grand Prix started in 1986 and there is a contract in place to run the race until at least 2021.
