Hungary for some racing?
Geography jokes aside, this weekend's tasty grand prix is heading to the Hungaroring for the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Heading into Round 13 of the 2022 Formula 1 season, Red Bull and Max Verstappen are in the driver's seats. With Charles Leclerc careening off the track and giving away another race from the lead last week, Verstappen took another race victory and extended his lead over the Ferrari driver. Verstappen now holds a commanding 233-170 edge in the driver's standings.
Not far behind and slowly coming to life, though, is Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton and George Russell took the second and third podium steps in France. While an eighth world driver's championship might be just out of the reach for Hamilton, Mercedes is showing plenty of fight heading into the second half of the season.

Formula 1 schedule 2022
There are 22 scheduled events on the F1 docket for 2022, one race shy of tying the mark for longest F1 calendar.
The season started in Bahrain on March 20 and will end with the customary Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, although a bit earlier than usual, in November. If the schedule stands, this will be the earliest end of the Formula 1 season since it ended on Nov. 4 in 2013.
Returning to the 2022 F1 slate are the Canadian and Japanese Grand Prix, both of which were canceled in 2021 amid fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
The calendar also holds the maiden voyage for the Miami Grand Prix, the first of two races in the United States in 2022, with the customary United States GP taking place in October.
The Russian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for Sept. 25, was canceled because of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
