From a new name on pole position to a big chance for Ferrari, and from the Red Bulls far back to a threat of wet weather, we’ve picked out some of the key areas to keep an eye on when the lights go out at the Hungaroring

As Red Bull hit trouble, all eyes were on Ferrari but Russell delivered a lap that it hadn’t looked like Mercedes was capable of as he jumped Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to give the team their first pole position of 2022.

But as Russell himself said, there are no points handed out on Saturday and he is targeting his first victory given the starting position and performance over one lap, with Mercedes generally even more competitive in race trim.

The start will be crucial as track position is critical in Hungary, but so too will Russell’s handling of the pressure from P1 on the grid as he chases his first ever win.
