Friday’s practice sessions at Hungarian Grand Prix wrote a whole new script over the ongoing dominance of Red Bull F1 against Mercedes. Unlike the past, the Milton Keynes outfit doesn’t seem to be holding the edge over their rivals.
What’s more, with Max Verstappen struggling a lot with the balance, there are possibilities that either Valtteri Bottas or Lewis Hamilton could grab onto the crucial pole position for Sunday’s race. Also, with the weather keen on playing a role on Saturday afternoon, this certainly isn’t a session to miss for the fans.
Hence, with a potential excitement-filled qualifying session around the corner, let’s take a look at when and where the viewers could catch a glimpse of the on-track action.
