Formula 1 teams are bracing for a straightforward weekend at the Hungaroring, with weather forecasts pointing to mostly dry conditions for the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix.
After the downpours that disrupted last weekend’s Belgian race at Spa, Budapest looks set for clearer skies. Friday’s practice sessions should see highs of 28°C under sunny spells, with a slight 10% chance of showers in the afternoon that could add a twist to setup tweaks for drivers like Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
Saturday brings qualifying under similar warmth, peaking at 29°C, but expect a breeze picking up to 15km/h from the north-west, potentially affecting aero balance for teams like McLaren and Ferrari, where Lewis Hamilton is settling into his new role alongside Charles Leclerc.
Race day on Sunday promises the hottest slot at 30°C, with low humidity and no rain in sight according to the latest from local meteorologists. This dry outlook favors consistent tire strategies, giving an edge to Red Bull’s defending champion Verstappen, who’s chasing points after a mixed start to the season.
While a stray cloud might drift in, the overall picture is calm— a relief for engineers after Spa’s chaos. Teams will monitor updates closely, but for now, it’s all systems go for a classic battle on track.
