F1 Hungarian Grand Prix LIVE! Race result and latest updates - Verstappen wins ahead of Hamilton and Russell

F1 Hungarian Grand Prix LIVE!

We’re in Budapest this weekend for the last race ahead of the mid-season break as we could be in store for another shock winner after George Russell secured the first pole position of his career. The Mercedes man edged out Ferrari's Carlos Sainz by just 0.044 seconds - to become only the fifth British driver this century to take top spot in qualifying.

Charles Leclerc — who lead with seven poles this F1 season, and is in third today — last week crashed while leading the French GP to give Max Verstappen a huge win and a 63-point lead over his title rival in the standings. But today Leclerc has a strong chance to close the gap on one of F1's hardest tracks for overtaking after Verstappen suffered a power failure in qualifying to start in P3.
