When is the F1 Hungarian GP and how can I watch it?

Still riding high after a thrilling German Grand Prix at Hockenheim last weekend, the Formula 1 paddock makes the short hop over to Budapest this weekend for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Acting as the last round before the summer break, there will be a 'school's out for summer' feel in the paddock - but every driver will want to finish the first half of the season in style before signing off for a few weeks.

Max Verstappen will be chasing a third win in four races following his wet-weather masterclass at Hockenheim, but it is Lewis Hamilton who remains the championship leader upon arrival in Budapest, sitting 41 points clear of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
