F1 NATION: Mercedes to win again? Another chance for McLaren? More to come from Red Bull? It’s our Hungarian GP preview

After a brief pause following a busy triple header – which featured two wins for a resurgent Mercedes – Formula 1 returns to action this weekend for the Hungarian Grand Prix, and there are lots of topics up for discussion heading into the event.

On this week's episode of F1 Nation, host Tom Clarkson and 1996 world champion Damon Hill are joined by Mercedes Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin off the back of the squad winning back-to-back races for the first time since 2021. Will they make it three in a row in Budapest, or can Red Bull, McLaren or Ferrari take another win in this unpredictable season?

Shovlin talks about the celebrations after Lewis Hamilton’s sensational win at Silverstone and why the seven-time world champion was back to his very best.

He also reflects on how much scope the Silver Arrows have to continue getting better in 2024, whether they’ll be in the mix for victory again this weekend and why the Hungaroring represents a big test for their car.

Also on the agenda: have Red Bull reached their peak of development under the current regulations? And what have McLaren learned from missed opportunities in the last four races?
