The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held 40 years ago in 1986

The final Formula 1 race before the summer break is the Hungarian Grand Prix, from 24-26 July.

McLaren's Lando Norris took pole in Saturday's qualifying, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and the Briton's team-mate Oscar Piastri set to start behind him.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton round out the top five.

While Hamilton qualified second, the stewards deemed him to have impeded Piastri during the session, resulting in a three-place grid penalty for the seven-time world champion.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who originally qualified fourth, has also dropped down three places for not slowing sufficiently under single yellow flags.

He will start in seventh, behind team-mate George Russell in sixth spot.

Hamilton is 45 points behind title leader Antonelli in the drivers' standings, with Russell third, 50 points off his Mercedes team-mate, following his first-lap retirement in Belgium last week.

Sunday's 70-lap race around the Hungaroring starts at 14:00 BST.
