Hungarian F1 Grand Prix 2015: Start Time, Drivers, TV Schedule and More

The top duo in motorsport have sewn up one-two finishes in the last three consecutive Formula 1 races, and both drivers have taken a podium finish in every outing of the year so far.

Lewis Hamilton Seeking More of the Same

Following his triumph at the British Grand Prix earlier in July, standings leader Hamilton is looking to tie up back-to-back wins for the second time this season.

The reigning champion was in fine form on Friday, too, showing signs during the first practice that he'll be up to the challenge in Hungarian territory, per the official Formula 1 Twitter account:

It was actually at the Hungaroring that Hamilton claimed his first Formula 1 win under the Mercedes banner after joining the manufacturer for the 2013 season, bringing fond memories of this track in particular.

The official Formula 1 website conducted a Q&A session with Hamilton this week, and he was asked how he returns to the action following the funeral of fellow driver Jules Bianchi:

"

For me personally I have experienced that situation before. Or a very, very similar situation. When I was nine years old there was a kid I was talking to just before the race - and then he passed away on the track. I remember going through a funeral - so this week was very much deja vu for me.

It is something that we never want to see in the sport. The sheer magnitude of what happened makes you almost gasp. It is somewhat strange that we are all here today again - healthy - and a young, talented individual is not. It is hard to comment.

"

In the nine opening races of 2015, Hamilton has finished outside the top two on just one occasion, placing third behind Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel at the Monaco Grand Prix.

However, Hungary has been a particularly hospitable venue for the Briton during his career, as depicted by BBCF1:

Hamilton's ability to defend a flying start has been demonstrated time and again this season, with a good grid position more often than not resulting in superb Sunday performances.

Betway shows the two-time world champion is looking to claim a stellar individual record in consecutive podium finishes, but taking this season one win at a time will be his only concern:

The number of slow corners at the Hungaroring will give Mercedes' front end the opportunity to excel once more, where coming out of those turns strongly and defending any lead will decide Hamilton's fortune.

With a 17-point standings lead to his name coming into the race, Hamilton can afford a slip-up to still contend for the top spot, but it's not in his nature to contemplate such sacrifices.
