The Hungaroring always has a surprise up its sleeve. None of the past five Hungarian Grand Prix pole-sitters went on to win the race, while the karting-style track was also the site of Oscar Piastri, Esteban Ocon, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso's maiden F1 victories. Could Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad or Oliver Bearman be next?

Hungarian Grand Prix 2026 Preview
Lewis Hamilton was the last driver to convert pole to victory in Mogyorod, all the way back in 2020. Since then, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, George Russell and Hamilton – twice – have tried and failed to lead the Hungarian GP from gun to tape.
Last year's edition of the race was a thriller, which ended with Piastri crossing the line 0.698 seconds behind his teammate Norris. Despite heading up the grid, Leclerc didn't even make the podium. This weekend could pan out very differently, however.
Due to the high-speed nature of the tracks, Ferrari hadn't expected much from the past two races at Silverstone and Spa, only for Leclerc to come away with 43 points and Hamilton to leapfrog Russell in the standings. The high-downforce Hungaroring, however, should be much more their speed.
McLaren, Racing Bulls and Aston Martin, meanwhile, are each set to unleash a raft of major upgrades.
Below we'll show you how to watch Hungarian Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world.
