2026 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix - Friday Practice Results
Full results from Friday practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Round 11 of the 2026 F1 world championship.
Charles Leclerc set the fastest time in first practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, despite ending the session in the garage with a reliability problem.
The Ferrari driver was immediately on the pace at the Hungaroring, and topped the order with fastest times in each sector.
Max Verstappen, as ever, complained about problems with gearshifts, but showed strong pace in second place.
The pace of both Ferrari and Red Bull was backed up by Lewis Hamilton and Isack Hadjar, who both also featured in the top four places.
George Russell was the fastest Mercedes in fifth place, although team-mate Kimi Antonelli was replaced by rookie driver Fred Vesti for the session - the Italian one of five drivers to be switched out.
Aston Martin showed improved pace with a significant upgrade package, but the session was marred by an apparent suspension failure for Lance Stroll, which pitched the Canadian into a session-ending spin.
The full results can be found below.
