Ever wondered what it feels like to drive a Formula 1 car?

You are strapped into a multi-million dollar machine, flying at speeds over 200 mph (320 km/h), while your body fights massive G-forces through every single twist and turn. It is the ultimate mix of extreme engineering and pure human reflex.

If you don't follow Formula 1, think of it as 20 drivers racing multi-million dollar spaceships on wheels. Today they kicked off practice at the Hungaroring a track so tight and twisty that drivers call it an "overgrown go-kart track"

Because it is almost impossible to pass other cars here, whoever goes fastest today and tomorrow will likely win the whole race on Sunday.

Here is who topped the leaderboard for the first session:

P1: Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) 🔴 – The Monaco speedster took the top spot.

P2: Max Verstappen (Red Bull) 🔵 – The reigning champ is breathing right down his neck.

P3: Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 🇬🇧 – The 7-time world champion is looking dangerous.

P4: Isack Hadjar (Red Bull Junior) 🤯 – The rookie shocker! A young backup driver completely crashed the party to take 4th.

P5: George Russell (Mercedes) 🏎️ – Keeping Mercedes right in the fight.
