The 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring serves as the final race before the summer break, with AppleTV the exclusive (and free for a trial) home for the event. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli arrives with a 45-point advantage after his Spa win, but starts seventh in Budapest following a qualifying penalty for not slowing under yellow flags. McLaren’s Lando Norris secured his first pole of the season, edging Lewis Hamilton by a razor-thin margin, while Hamilton could face an additional penalty for impeding Piastri in Q3. Mercedes hold a dominant position in the Constructors’ standings, leading by 73 points after eight of ten races, as Red Bull and Ferrari jockey for position behind them. The weekend has been defined by penalties, spins, and grid uncertainties, with Verstappen spinning in Q3 and Norris topping FP3, all shaping the race day strategies. Broad pre-race coverage underscores the anticipation of a dramatic finish before the four-week break, including live blogs and in-depth previews.
