Lewis Hamilton will have the opportunity to extend his Formula One drivers' championship lead at a track where he holds the record for race wins.
After a dramatic German Grand Prix that saw a late twist in the tale, the field move on to Hungary where results have been equally unpredictable in recent years.
As Hamilton looks to build momentum in the second half of the season, Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas is enduring a tough winless run, despite repeatedly coming close.
Ferrari pair Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will look to be in the points, meanwhile, in a bid to keep a fascinating title battle going.
Using Opta data, we pick out the key statistics ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
