Could we be set for another wet race at Hungarian Grand Prix?

The Hungarian Grand Prix will be the final race before Formula 1’s summer break, with much to decide this weekend.

After wet races at Silverstone and Spa, too, there appears to be a chance of a third rainy raceday in a row at the Hungaroring.

Hungarian GP weather forecast: What will the weather be like in Budapest?

A dry start to the weekend is currently forecast to make way for overnight rain from Saturday into Sunday, with a chance of rain still present for the race itself in the afternoon.

The Hungaroring has been no stranger to wet-weather classics in the past, with Jenson Button taking his first Formula 1 victory in changeable conditions in 2006.

Esteban Ocon triumphed on a drying track in 2021, too, with the twisting nature of the layout difficult to navigate for the drivers.
