2022 Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix

For the last race before Formula 1 takes its summer break, the teams will battle at the Hungaroring for round 13 of the 2022 season.

Max Verstappen brings a commanding 63-point lead in the drivers standings to the final F1 race before the 2022 summer break. He and teammate Sergio Perez have also opened up an 82-point lead in the constructors standings for Red Bull.

Last time out, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc seemed to be on his way to a win in France, but ended his race early after a mistake in turn 11 landed him in the tire barrier.

His teammate Carlos Sainz was on an impressive charge from the back of the field after taking a grid penalty, but a questionable strategy call from Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits late in the race and limited him to fourth at the end of the race.

France was also the first double podium for the driver pair of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell of Mercedes. The duo have been held outside of contending for wins all season, so the 2-3 finish was an impressive finish for the Silver Arrows.

Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel will race for the final time in Hungary this weekend. The four time champion has announced that he will retire at the end of the season.

Stormy weather is possible for Saturday's sessions, as well as rain for Sunday, so the wet conditions could result in interesting qualifying and race results.

What are your picks for the Hungarian Grand Prix? Will this be another strong showing for Verstappen and Red Bull? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

F1 teams have a long story of sacking excellent drivers who are not always at the end of their career. Ricciardo is obviously stronger than half of the grid.
