F1 Qualifying Today: Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 start times, schedule and TV

Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix today (Saturday, July 20), with the teams battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown at Hungaroring.

After securing back-to-back race wins with George Russell at the Red Bull Ring and Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone, Mercedes are now looking to capitalise on their momentum and secure their third victory this season.

The Silver Arrows have a strong track record at the Hungaroring with nine pole positions and have clinched the top grid slot in the past four years.

However, they will face stiff competition from McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull this weekend, with the latter looking to reclaim their on-track dominance following Max Verstappen's two consecutive winless races.
