F1 2017 live stream: Start time, TV schedule, and how to watch Hungarian Grand Prix online

Lewis Hamilton is one point behind Sebastian Vettel in the Drivers Championship going into Sunday’s Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix, but he’s two spots behind him on the grid. Ferrari secured a front-row lockout with Vettel taking pole and Kimi Raikkonen next to him in second.

Hamilton wound up qualifying in fourth, behind and next to Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas on the second row.

Sunday’s race will begin at 8 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on CNBC in the United States. As usual, a live stream of the race can be found online via NBC Sports in a web browser or the NBC Sports app on various connected devices.

Hamilton complained of poor tire balance throughout qualifying on Saturday, including during the final session in Q3. When asked about the strategy from fourth place, Hamilton wasn’t exactly brimming with confidence.

“Well you can’t overtake here so it’s going to be most likely a train unless we can do something on strategy,” Hamilton said. “I don’t know if they’ve made an upgrade or whatever it is. I think we did quite well considering, but the race is on.”

Hamilton made serious gains in the Drivers Championship when he won in Silverstone the last time out. Sunday’s race is the last one before the mid-season break, and Hamilton would love to get the lead from Vettel on Sunday and in the Drivers Championship. Mercedes already has a stranglehold on the Constructors Championship.

Behind the Mercedes drivers are, as usual, the two Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. Behind them are not the usual faces, however. Typically, the Force India cars of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon would be behind them in the top 10, but neither of those cars made it out of the second qualifying session.

Instead it’s the McLarens of Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne on the fourth row, a surprise given the team’s struggles this season. They have suffered through massive reliability issues for the Honda-powered engine all season, but they are often regarded as having one of the best-designed chassis on the grid.

Carlos Sainz Jr. or Toro Rosso and Jolyon Palmer of Renault round out the top 10 of the grid. Paul di Resta, the reserve Williams driver, was thrust into qualifying at the last minute when Felipe Massa was feeling unwell. Di Resta did the best he could, but will be starting from 19th on the grid on Sunday.

Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso was given a three-place grid penalty for holding up Lance Stroll of Wiliams during qualifying. Kvyat was also given another penalty point on his license, becoming the first driver to reach 10 points since the system was created. Reaching 12 points would incur an automatic one-race ban, so Kvyat has little room for further error at this point.
