2023 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix session timings and preview

Lewis Hamilton is the most successful F1 driver in history at the Hungaroring, having won the race eight times in his illustrious career - including in his rookie season back in 2007.

However, Max Verstappen's dominance in 2023 means Hamilton is unlikely to add to the tally this weekend. The Dutchman has been near-untouchable in F1 this season, with his victory at Silvestone marking his sixth successive triumph of the campaign and eighth overall. 

Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez won the other two races at Jeddah and Baku, but his recent qualifying form leaves Verstappen as the favourite for the Hungarian GP.
