Watch the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix live on TV or stream it: all the timings for this weekend's practice, qualifying and race sessions from the Hungaroring

Just the Hungarian Grand Prix to go until the summer break and Ferrari is looking to bounce straight back from last weekend, when Charles Leclerc crashed out of the lead at Paul Ricard, leaving him trailing Max Verstappen by 63 points.

Heading into Hungary, Leclerc could win every race for the rest of the season and still not become world champion, putting his team very much on the back foot.

But anything can happen at the Hungaroring, as Esteban Ocon’s victory last year showed. And with rain forecast, the weekend could be even more unpredictable.

This weekend also sees the sixth round of the W Series. Here are the UK TV and streaming times in order to watch it all unfold.

Who will win the Hungarian Grand Prix?

The tide is in favour of Verstappen and Red Bull but as has been the case all season, Ferrari is quicker on a Saturday. Despite the team’s sizeable lead, Red Bull has only achieved pole four times this year compared to Ferrari’s eight.

The Hungaroring’s 14 turns place huge importance on high downforce, which should suit the F1-75, so anything but a Ferrari pole will be a disappointment for the team.

Passing is tricky on track, the pole-sitter typically has the advantage — as long as they follow the right strategy and have a reliable car. Neither of which Ferrari’s drivers can take for granted

However, with rain forecast on Saturday, will the Hungaroring throw up another surprise?

 

How many laps is the Hungarian Grand Prix?

There will be 70 laps around the Hungaroring, resulting in a total race distance of 190.4 miles (306.6km) on a circuit that is 2.72 miles (4.38km) in length.

The layout will feature two DRS zones with the first being on the start-finish straight, while the second is between the hairpins at Turns 1 and 2.

In the case of delays, there will be a maximum race distance of 120 minutes.
