First practice is in the books and it's Lando Norris who tops the session with a time of 1:16.052 on the soft tyres.
McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri is second, Charles Leclerc is third for Ferrari, Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar is an excellent fourth place and Lewis Hamilton puts the other Scuderia in fifth.

Where are Mercedes today? George Russell is eighth, while his rookie team-mate Kimi Antonelli is one place higher in seventh. The Italian teenager, who'll turn 19 during the summer break, has been through the mill recently. He looked quite upset during the Belgian weekend; a difficult qualifying capped off by no points scored. To try and turn his season around, the Silver Arrows have opted to revert to the suspension previously used on the car. But will it make a difference?

Would Isack Hadjar be your vote for rookie of the season so far? He's currently the Racing Bulls filling between two slices of Italian bread, splitting Charles Leclerc and his idol, Lewis Hamilton.
It's be a quiet session over at Red Bull. Max Verstappen is out on mediums and is ninth on the leaderboard, while Yuki Tsunoda has just bolted on the hards and is down in 17th place. The Japanese driver has failed to score points in the past six races, so a souvenir or two from Budapest would be most welcome.

Isack Hadjar made it through to the top 10 shootout last week but issues with his Racing Bulls, and a later pit stop than team-mate Liam Lawson, scuppered his chances of any Spa points. Back-to-back race weekends gives the Frenchman a chance to put right any wrongs and he's just improved on his latest soft lap to go fourth above Lewis Hamilton, who has just had a mighty lock-up at Turn One in the Ferrari.
Lawson has just been on the team radio to say he nearly crashed into Hadjar. Oh dear.

Lewis Hamilton has climbed up the order on his soft compound run. The 40-year-old is over six tenths away from Lando Norris' McLaren - Charles Leclerc has just improved to move within two tenths of Norris and is still third - and is sitting on a time of 1:16.734.
Rookies Isack Hadjar in the Racing Bulls and Haas' Ollie Bearman are just behind the seven-time world champion in fifth and sixth respectively.

While Carlos Sainz highlights some troubles with his Williams, championship leader Oscar Piastri has clocked his first time on the soft rubber. It's not quite good enough to beat team-mate Lando Norris, 0.142 seconds is the gap, but it is just enough to push Charles Leclerc down into third place.

That is a decent amount of pace Lando Norris has found on those C5 soft tyres. The McLaren rockets to the top spot with a time over seven tenths better than the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Lance Stroll for Aston Martin is third, Alex Albon puts his Williams fourth and George Russell is in the top five in fifth.

Lando Norris was in the media pen yesterday chatting about the title race. Oscar Piastri was cool as a cucumber last week to take victory from second place over his polesitter team-mate but Norris conceded that little mistakes may cost a contender glory this season.
First to cross the line on the softs of the big guns is Charles Leclerc, who pops up with a 1:16.791 in the Ferrari to go top of the timesheets.

Lando Norris puts his McLaren above the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc - who has now emerged on the soft tyre - by over half a second. The Briton's time to beat, on the mediums, is 1:16.837. And now Norris' side of the garage gear up to send him out on the red rubber.

The marshals have come to Paul Aron's aid. The Estonian managed to get his Sauber to a safe place and now he'll head back to the shiny new pit building complex at the Hungaroring circuit.

Lewis Hamilton went from pit lane to points in Belgium last weekend, finishing another difficult turn in the Ferrari in seventh place. But driving in recovery mode is not something befitting of a seven-time world champion, and he'll surely want to end this first part of his Italian journey on a high in Hungary.
Meanwhile, Paul Aron has stopped down at Turn 13. He's in the gravel and telling his Sauber engineer he can't get going again.

The phone os ringing at the Scuderia and it's not positive news. Lewis Hamilton informs his engineer the car "doesn't feel good", as he now sits 10th on the timesheets on this medium tyre stint.

Alex Albon quialified fifth at Spa and finished the delayed race in sixth - an excellent result for the 29-year-old. He's only nine points behind Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli in the drivers' championship, so could he make a jump above the Italian in the next part of the season?
Albon is fourth on the board, with team-mate Carlos Sainz edging him out to sit third. The Williams pair are both on the hard tyre.

Is this set to be another challenging weekend for Ferrari? Charles Leclerc spoke in the news conference yesterday about how the Hungaroring is one of his worst circuits. He doesn't know why, it should be a good one, given its likeness to his favoured Monaco. But no, the Monegasque driver is stumped on that question.
Things may be on the up, though, as he's just gone quickest by 0.211 seconds on the medium compound.

Lewis Hamilton is down in seventh place, which has now turned to eighth because Isack Hadjar slips into the top five, and he's on the radio asking why is the gap to leader Lando Norris, which is over a second, so large? And on the same medium tyres. Where is he losing time on a track he's aced more times than any other driver? Back to the drawing board for Ferrari.

There's a mixture of mediums and hards out on track at the moment, with the top five spots occupied by the yellow rubber. Lando Norris is quickest so far with a 1:17.631, which is over four tenths faster than the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, who has just moved up the timesheets to go second.
Next comes Belgium winner Oscar Piastri, Brit Oliver Bearman and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen.
