Formula 1 returns to the Hungaroring this weekend, as the Budapest track hosts the 11th round of the 2023 season.

Max Verstappen enters the race weekend as the runaway championship leader, while team-mate Sergio Perez will be hoping for a strong event amid a difficult run of form.

Last year in Hungary, George Russell shocked the paddock to take his first career pole position, but it was Verstappen that prevailed on race day.

Red Bull is set to unveil upgrades at the event, which it hopes will provide it with more speed amid its dominant start to the year.

New tyre regulations will also be in play this weekend – only 11 sets have been allocated to each driver (down from 13), while Hards are mandated in Q1, Mediums in Q2 and Softs in Q3.

Below, see all the session times for the weekend.
