F1 Hungarian Grand Prix: practice, qualifying, schedule, UK start time - and how to watch Formula 1 race on TV

The tussle at the top of the driver standings continues as F1 heads to Hungary.

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are in competition for supremacy in the 2021 Formula 1 season, with the latter holding an eight point lead ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen has made no secret of his disapproval of Hamilton's victory at Silverstone when the two drivers' cars collided early on in the British GP in front of a packed crowd.

The battle is finely poised as the Formula One campaign gets ready for another high octane weekend in Hungary for the Rolex Magyar Nagydíj race.
