The characteristics of the Hungaroring track should highlight the qualities of the Ferrari SF-26, but both team principal Frederic Vasseur and Charles Leclerc have tried to lower expectations by pointing out that on paper Ferrari was also supposed to be the favorite in Monaco, a weekend later dominated by Antonelli.

The event will be broadcast live in full on Sky Sport F1, while on TV8 the Qualifying and the Grand Prix will be aired in clear with a delay (respectively at 18:30 and 18:00).
