How to follow Hungarian GP on the BBC

Lewis Hamilton was on pole position for last year's Hungarian Grand Prix but was passed by eventual race winner Max Verstappen at the first corner

It's the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend as round 13 of the 2024 Formula 1 season takes place at the Hungaroring near Budapest.

Last time out, Lewis Hamilton won his first grand prix since 2021, holding off championship leader Max Verstappen in a thrilling wet-dry British Grand Prix.

Hamilton's victory - his 104th in F1 - made it two wins in a row for Mercedes after George Russell triumphed in Austria.

McLaren's Lando Norris was third at Silverstone, while Russell had to retire because of a water system problem.

Verstappen leads the drivers' championship by 84 points from Norris.
