Verstappen, Hungarian GP, 2025, generic

F1 drivers have just a couple of days left before a lengthy summer break, but first they have to deal with the rigors of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

This weekend could be a crucial one in the title battle, with Oscar Piastri's 16-point lead over team-mate Lando Norris meaning that even a narrow win would put him nearly a full race clear 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.

With that said, let's get into the important details you need to know ahead of today's action!
