2026 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix - Friday Practice Results

Lewis Hamilton topped second practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix, leading Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc to a one-two result. 

Ferrari proved to be the fastest team on Friday in Hungary, managing to navigate the tricky conditions to lead the way on Friday. 

Lando Norris was third for McLaren, with fourth-placed Max Verstappen over half a second off the pace. 

It was a tough day for championship leaders Mercedes, with George Russell in fifth place, but Kimi Antonelli in 13th place after failing to set a meaningful time on soft tyres, suffering with a brake issue while also being caught out by gusts of wind. 

Aston Martin closed back onto the rear of the field with its upgrade package, but had only Fernando Alonso running in FP2, as Lance Stroll's car proved impossible to fix in time following a crash in FP1.

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.
