Just a week on from the wet, topsy-turvy German Grand Prix, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen arrives in Hungary this weekend the class of the Formula 1 field.

The Dutch driver notched up a second win in three races around the treacherous Hockenheim ring circuit, after rain shook up the established order.

Mercedes F1 AMG

The 2019-dominating Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas endured a torrid time, after both drivers spun off on slick tyres on the damp-but-drying asphalt.

Bottas was forced to retire in his spin – despite being the Silver Arrows’ best hope after Hamilton’s off – but the British Grand Prix winner was able to continue to finish.

Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari was another big scalp having crashed out on the wet surface, although team-mate Sebastian Vettel restored some of the team’s honour by storming from last on the grid (a result of a turbo issue in qualifying) to second.

A delighted Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso claimed third – the team’s first podium for 11 years.

The Hockenheim thriller marked the latest in a trio of astonishing races following Austria and Silverstone, with Verstappen having claimed an unlikely Red Bull Ring victory.

With this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, Mercedes will be looking to get back to normality at the top, while a frustrated Leclerc wants to bounce back from the ghosts of Hockenheim.

The continued ascent of Verstappen will be another key theme to watch around the Hungaroring.

Live Broadcast Information

A live online stream for F1 in 2019 is not available, so those wishing to catch all the action from Hungary will need to use more traditional methods of keeping abreast of the action – TV, radio and live text commentary.

The list below details the current broadcasters according to F1’s website, although fans will need to check locally if their region offers free-to-air or paid subscription, as well as live coverage or highlights.

Lewis Hamilton heads to this weekend’s German Grand Prix with the wind in his sails, having notched up a seventh Formula 1 win of the season at Silverstone with Mercedes.

The five-time champion claimed a record sixth win at his home circuit for the British Grand Prix, with that victory allowing him to extend his lead at the top of the standings to 39 points from team-mate Valtteri Bottas.

Ferrari No Win In 2019

Despite reaching the season’s halfway point, Ferrari duo Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc have yet to record a win in 2019.

Vettel has endured a problematic season, with the high-profile off at Canada’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve robbing him of a win, before a clumsy touch with Max Verstappen last time out ruined any chance of points there.

Leclerc meanwhile has looked the stronger of the pair, with wins at Bahrain and Austria eluding him. Vettel will no doubt wish to see his home race the start of a turnaround in fortunes.

Austrian Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen has shown strong consistency to hold third in the standings, comfortably outperforming under-pressure team-mate Pierre Gasly, although fourth for the French Red Bull driver at Silverstone marked his first finish higher than his team-mate.

Carlos Sainz Jr leads the ‘best of the rest’ as the McLaren cars demonstrate good pace, ahead of 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen in the Alfa Romeo.

The midfield tussle continues to be tightly contested between McLaren, Renault, Haas, Alfa Romeo, Toro Rosso and Racing Point.

The Mercedes annex of Formula 1 race wins in 2019 was finally broken by Max Verstappen and Red Bull in Austria – but championship leader Lewis Hamilton heads to the British Grand Prix this weekend with eyes on a seventh win of the season.

Until last weekend’s Spielberg round, Hamilton and Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas had shared the wins, with the Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc unable to convert their strong pre-season pace into a victory.

Red Bull has to date looked comfortably the third quickest team, but Verstappen was finally able to snatch a victory in the Styrian hills.

The big talking point coming out of the race was the aggressive overtake on Leclerc, who had appeared to be on for his first win of his F1 career. The Monegasque was understandably unhappy with the way in which Verstappen ran him all the way to the edge of the track to take the victory-sealing pass.

By comparison, Hamilton, Bottas and Vettel had a largely anonymous weekend, but all three will be hoping to bounce back at Silverstone this weekend.

Hamilton up for a home win?

Hamilton has notched up five wins at his home circuit, and will be looking to repay his faithful crowd with a sixth, while Bottas could do with the 25 points to get his title challenge back on track – the last win for the Finn having been in Azerbaijan.

Having lost wins in Bahrain and Austria, can Leclerc finally convert his storming pace to that debut trophy, or will Vettel open his 2019 account?

Elsewhere, an under-pressure Pierre Gasly has work to do after being lapped by team-mate Verstappen at the Red Bull home circuit in Austria – with talk already in the paddock of Toro Rosso’s Daniil Kvyat making a return.

In the midfield, the battle remains tight as McLaren, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Racing Point, Toro Rosso and Haas vie for ‘best of the rest’. McLaren has looked the strongest of those in the last two races with both Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr having recorded a pair of top-nine finishes each.

Antonio Giovinazzi at Alfa Romeo will be looking to build on his first points-paying position from Austria, which means it is just the struggling Williams pair of George Russell and Robert Kubica yet to record a point.
