Last season’s Hungarian Grand Prix was easily one of the wildest races of the season. A maiden winner, big crashes, battles for the victory, disqualifications, rain… it had it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend, racing returns to the Hungaroring for a weekend of action. The new era of Formula 1 cars has seen greater overtaking on all circuits. The Hungaroring is renowned as a tricky track to make a pass at, so this weekend will be a good indicator of the cars’ capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One driver who will hope his car is working at maximum potential is Max Verstappen. With a victory here, Max could theoretically win the title without taking another victory this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also pivotal races in the support series: Formula 2, Formula 3 and W Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure you’re on top of all the action, including circuit maps<\/a>, session times<\/a>, support series<\/a>, weather forecast<\/a> and the latest news<\/a> from the weekend, check out this guide with all the information you’ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
