Children are in the driving seat, sort of, for this year's Hungarian Grand Prix, as they will be making a special show about the competition for children.
Their broadcast will be played throughout the competition and will feature animated characters and their cars to show viewers where the competitors are in the race.
It will also explain some of the sport's technical terms for people that are new to racing and who want to learn more.

When is the Hungarian Grand Prix?
The Hungarian Grand Prix is an F1 competition that kicked off on Sunday 23 July in 2023 in Mogyoród in Hungary.
The race in Central Europe involved completing 70 laps of the big Hungaroring racing track.
There's not many straight lines on the track and a lot of corners, which makes it quite challenging.
Last year's Hungarian Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen.

First children's Grand Prix broadcast
This is the first time that broadcasting of the competition has been specifically aimed at children.
It features avatars of the drivers and their cars, alongside bright graphics to explain what's going on.
The show was also presented by Braydon and Scarlett, Sky's young presenters, and a young go-karter called Zac. They worked with a 2018 Formula 1 World Champion, Nico Rosberg and a former NASCAR racer Danica Patrick.
