Watch live streams of the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix to find out how many points Kimi Antonelli, 19, will get in the summer holidays at the top of the Drivers’ Championship. He has already won six races this year and leads Lewis Hamilton by 45 points. To put it in context, last year’s champion, Lando Norris, won a total of seven races in the entire 2025 season.
Second in the Drivers’ Championship, Hamilton is now five points ahead of George Russell after the latter’s unfortunate incident on the opening lap in Belgium. Russell hit Hamilton’s left front, resulting in his own DNF and a five-second penalty for Hamilton. The Ferrari driver finally finished in fourth position. He has won a record eight times at the Hungaroring, one of his favorite circuits, and with Ferrari’s current pace and his own form, a Hamilton victory could be on the cards.
Meanwhile, Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc avoided a potential penalty in Belgium for causing a collision with Oscar Piastri before finishing P2, backing up his victory at Silverstone. Elsewhere, Red Bull is back in front, with Max Verstappen securing a podium and teammate Isack Hadjar attacking from the back of the grid to finish P6.
McLaren have not enjoyed the best campaign so far, but they will be hopeful heading into this weekend given their excellent record at the Hungaroring. They have finished on the podium here every year since 2023, and even managed a one-two finish last time. They are also expected to bring improvements, which should boost their chances even further.
