The 11th and final race before the four-week 2026 Formula 1 summer break is the Hungarian Grand Prix, which is set to mark the halfway point of the 22-race season at the Hungaroring on Sunday.
While the Hungaroring has historically been the closest thing Formula 1 road course racing has to Monaco in terms of the challenging nature of overtakes, no driver has actually won the 70-lap race around the 14-turn, 2.722-mile (4.381-kilometer) road course in Mogyoród, Hungary from pole since 2020.
Over the past five seasons, only two Hungary winners have even come from the front row, with the average starting posiiton of a race winner being a modest fifth during that stretch.
In 2026, the first year under the sport's new regulations, all 10 races have been won from the front row, most recently the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, won by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. Five of the world championship leader's six wins this year have come from pole.
How much will qualifying matter this weekend, and who will be on top after it ends? Follow along with our Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying updates from the Hungaroring.
