F1 returns to Budapest for round 14 of the 2025 season and the Hungarian Grand Prix in the last race before the summer break.

The Hungarian GP weekend will be crucial for Lando Norris if he hopes to make gains in the championship over team-mate Oscar Piastri, with 16 points currently separating them in the standings.

Max Verstappen will also be working hard to salvage his chances of a world title at the Hungaroring, but if McLaren's pace throughout 2025 is anything to judge by, they will once again be leading the pack in Budapest.

Can Piastri emulate the achievements of his first grand prix victory in Hungary from a year ago, or will Norris stake his claim to the world title this weekend?

Firstly, all 20 drivers will have to battle it out for pole position in qualifying, with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli hoping for a better showing than last weekend at Spa.
