2026 Formula 1 World Championship
Hungarian Grand Prix
Round 11
Hungaroring
Budapest, Hungary
Sunday 26 July
Kimi Antonelli will aim to extend his championship lead by delivering another great performance and winning the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Mercedes driver took a brilliant victory in the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps on 19 July.
Antonelli converted pole position into a controlled win, further strengthening his position at the top of the standings.
Formula One ambitions
Antonelli, who is the 2026 Formula One breakout star, sits first in the Drivers’ Championship with 204 points after 10 races.
The Italian leads Lewis Hamilton (159), George Russell (154) and Charles Leclerc (126), building a commanding advantage early in the season.
Why Antonelli could win at the Hungarian GP
Antonelli has shown remarkable consistency and race-winning pace throughout 2026, already securing six victories this season.
The youngster's composure under pressure and strong qualifying form make him a major threat on the technical Hungaroring, where precise driving will be key.
Quotes
"I think the momentum was always there," said Antonelli on his previous bad run of form after winning the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix.
"Was just about getting the result and today we were a bit lucky in terms of what happened with the championship but that's why you've got to take every opportunity.
"We saw that it can swing really easily, the situation, so we [have] just got to keep performing, keep bringing the result and we'll see what happens at the end of the year."
