Where is the Hungarian Grand Prix held?
The Hungarian Grand Prix joined the F1 calendar in 1986 and has stuck around at the Hungaroring every year since.
The 14-turn, 2.7-mile course involves many low/medium-speed corners, meaning getting past a car ahead usually only takes place on the main straight.
The course is located just minutes away from the center of Budapest.
What is the weekend format for the Hungarian Grand Prix?
After the sprint format in Belgium, the Hungarian Grand Prix returns to the traditional F1 weekend schedule. Which looks like this:
FRIDAY: Full Practice 1 and Full Practice 2
SATURDAY: Full Practice 3 and Quafliying
SUNDAY: Grand Prix
Are there any support races alongside the Hungarian Grand Prix?
