F1 Hungarian Grand Prix: Start time, weekend schedule, how to watch & TV channel

The third race in a triple header of consecutive F1 weekends, Hungary hosts the final race before the summer break.

Kimi Antonelli returned to winning ways last time out in Belgium, followed home by Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen in second and third.

There is plenty to watch out for at the Hungaroring, as George Russell looks to get his season back on track, Aston Martin introduce an upgrades package and Lewis Hamilton could equal his own record for wins at a single circuit.
