After Spain, Austria and England, Formula 1’s European leg moves to Hungary. The Hungarian Grand Prix holds a significant place in the F1 2024 calendar.
However, before we start discussing its importance, let us take a look at the crucial details of the Hungarian race:
- Date: 19 to 21 July
- Venue: Mogyoród, Hungary
- Where to watch: F1 TV
The long, long wait of watching Lewis Hamilton win a race finally drew to a close at the start of this month. At his home Grand Prix, the Briton emerged victorious over Max Verstappen by around 1.5 seconds. This was Hamilton’s first win since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. In addition, he also holds the record for the most races won at the British Grand Prix with nine titles.
But the results at the Silverstone Circuit earlier this month did more than serve a scoop of nostalgia; it marked Verstappen’s second successive loss of the season. The Belgian has been thoroughly inconsistent in 2024 and this was underscored in England once again.
In such a situation, the defending world champion does not have enough room for mistakes. If he fails to secure maximum points from the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, he will only dig a deeper hole for himself. For context, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. are breathing down his neck on the 2024 Drivers’ Standings.
Can Verstappen get his title defence back on track? Or will the race for the world championship be thrown wide open? To make sure you don’t miss out on the F1 action this weekend, we bring you the schedule for the Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 (including that of the final race), its venue, details of the live stream and more.
However, let us first look at…
