The Hungarian Grand Prix is scheduled to take place from 29-31 July at the Hungaroring circuit – how is the weather there?
The Hungarian GP is set for mixed conditions throughout the race weekend. It should be warm and sunny on Friday, but heavy showers are predicted on Saturday and Sunday. Highs of 28 degrees Celsius with a 40% chance of rain are predicted on Sunday for the start of the race. The conditions are set to be quite contrasting to what we had at the previous race in France.
Friday is expected to be warm and sunny with no chance of rain during the two practice sessions. Temperatures are expected to peak at 33 degrees Celsius, although winds will bring this down to a moderate level as the day progresses.
Saturday will see heavy showers – 80% chance of rain with temperatures around 23 degrees Celsius. F1 teams will have to be ready with their wet tires for qualifying. The threat of rain playing spoilsport during the qualifying session is pretty much there.
The only thing that is certain about Sunday is that it will rain at some point during the day. The threat varies from 20-50 percent across the day but in good news for teams, the higher chance of rain is in the morning. Wind remains around the 8mph mark and temperatures will hit the 27 degrees Celsius mark. The chances of rain during the race hours are pretty minimal
