F1 Race Today: Hungarian Grand Prix 2025 start time, TV channel and FREE live stream

Here's how you can watch the 14th round of the 2025 F1 season for FREE as the Hungarian Grand Prix takes place today (Sunday, August 3) at 3pm local time (CEST).

Charles Leclerc shocked the field to steal pole position from the two McLarens during qualifying on Saturday, heralding Ferrari's best result over one lap in 2025 thus far.

However, his team-mate Lewis Hamilton had a less impressive qualifying session, and instead made an early exit in Q2 alongside Kimi Antonelli, having both struggled the previous week at Spa.

Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri will share the front row of the grid with Leclerc, while Lando Norris will start in third alongside George Russell on the second row.

Max Verstappen was not only leap-frogged by McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes in qualifying, but also both Aston Martins — who enjoyed a major resurgence at the Hungaroring — and Gabriel Bortoleto in the Sauber.

Here is what time and where you can watch the Hungarian GP for FREE wherever you are in the world.
