The 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Rolex Magyar Nagydíj 2019) was a Formula One motor race which was held on 4 August 2019 at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, Hungary.^[1] The race was the 12th round of 21 of the 2019 Formula One World Championship and the 35th running of the Hungarian Grand Prix and the 34th time the race had been run as a World Championship event since the inaugural season in 1950.

The 70-lap race was won by Lewis Hamilton after opting for a two-stop strategy which allowed him to overtake Max Verstappen with four laps to go, despite Verstappen led the majority of the race and took pole position for the first time in his career. The podium was rounded up by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third, just ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc. All cars apart from the top four drivers and retiree Romain Grosjean were lapped by Hamilton at least once.

This was also Pierre Gasly's final race for Red Bull Racing before being demoted to its sister team Toro Rosso following a driver swap with rookie Alexander Albon prior to the next round in Belgium.
