F1 heads to Mogyorod for the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, and here is how you can catch the action for FREE in the UK.

The Hungaroring plays host to the 11th round of the season, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton hoping for an unprecedented ninth grand prix victory at the circuit.

His last win in Hungary came back in 2020, but the track is also the site of his most recent grand prix pole position, achieved at the 2023 event.

Hamilton knows that a win at the track this year would catapult him right back into the fight for the drivers' championship just before the summer break, with the Brit currently 45 points behind Mercedes' championship leader Kimi Antonelli.

Hamilton is in second in the drivers' championship, ahead of Antonelli's team-mate George Russell, who also knows that a win would do wonders for his pursuit of a first world title.

The Hungarian Grand Prix is the final race before a four-week break from the sport, which takes us right up to the Dutch GP on August 23.
