Russell during FP3 at the Hungaroring

The 2025 Formula 1 season hits the Hungaroring Circuit on Friday, August 1, for first and second practice ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

This weekend's F1 action follows on from the sprint weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix last time out, where Red Bull star Max Verstappen was victorious on Sunday, and McLaren star Oscar Piastri won the race on Saturday.

Piastri heads to Budapest leading the drivers' standings ahead of teammate Lando Norris, with the Brit trailing the Aussie by 16 points at this stage. Reigning champion Max Verstappen currently sits third, but trails Piastri by 81 points.

It will certainly be interesting to see how the championship battle looks come the end of this weekend's action, and with that said, here's how you can watch the first day and a half of it, and when, this weekend.
