F1 Hungarian Grand Prix: When and where to watch qualifying and the final race of Round 13

12 races done, 12 to go – the 2024 F1 season is interestingly poised at mid-way stage. Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen is still leading the Drivers’ Championship with 7 wins and 2 2nd place podium finishes, but it is no match to his dominance from only a year ago, when he won all but three of the 22 races in the calendar. Right now, Verstappen is at 255 points, with his nearest competitor, Lando Norris trailing at 171 points.

With 12 more races to go, this is, by no means, an insurmountable lead and Verstappen will have to go in all guns blaring in the next few races if he wants to defend his Drivers’ Championship title for a fourth consecutive time. Up next he’s got the Hungarian Grand Prix, a race he has won a couple of times in the past. In India, F1 fans get to catch all the action of the Grand Prix on FanCode.

The Hungarian Grand Prix, held annually in Mogyoród at the Hungaroring, is 306.630 km race, wherein drivers do the 4.381 km track for 70 laps. Lewis Hamilton, who pipped Max Verstappen to victory at the British Grand Prix a couple of weeks ago, holds the record for the most wins at the track, having taken the checkered flag 8 times so far.

In the Constructors' Championship, the gap between Red Bull Racing (373) and Ferrari (302) is rapidly reducing what with both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz making top 10 finishes in most of the races so far. Ferrari has McLaren Mercedes hot in pursuit, only 7 points behind at 295.  

After Hungary, the teams move to Belgium for Round 14 between July 26 and 28, following which there’s a nearly month-long break before racing resumes in the Netherlands at the end of August.
