NBC Sports Group's presentation of the 2016 Formula One Championship continues this week with live coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN

In addition to this weekend's F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, NBCSN's motorsports coverage includes the LUCAS OIL PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP Washougal National event on Saturday on NBCSN, Mecum Auctions coverage this afternoon and Monday from Harrisburg, and NASCAR Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series racing from Indianapolis on Saturday and Sunday.

The Formula One season rolls on this weekend with live coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix on NBCSN, as Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) looks for his third consecutive win this season, following race victories in Austria and Silverstone in his native England. Hamilton has now essentially drawn even with teammate Nico Rosberg atop the driver standings; his 167 points are just one behind Rosberg (168 points).

Hamilton has four career wins at Hungaroring, but has not won at the circuit since 2013. Hamilton finished sixth in Hungary last year, while Rosberg finished eighth, as Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) captured his first victory at Hungaroring.

NBCSN will air delayed coverage of Practice 2 on Friday night at 11 p.m. ET.

NBCSN presents Round 9 of the 2016 LUCAS OIL PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP this weekend with the Washuougal National in Washougal, Wash., on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. Ken Roczen continues to dominate the 450 Class standings this season, coming off his sixth sweep of the 2016 campaign in Millville, Minn., last weekend. The 2014 450 Class champion holds a 55-point lead over Eli Tomac with four rounds remaining. Jeremy Martin won in the 250 Class last weekend, but trails Cooper Webb by 44 points with four rounds to go.

Veteran play-by-play voice Jason Weigandt, analyst and two-time AMA Pro MOTOCROSS Champion Grant Langston, and pit reporter Georgia Lindsay will call this weekend's action.
