A rainy weekend is set to welcome the drivers at the Hungary GP after scorching hot racing at the French GP last time out.
F1 drivers will return to the track this weekend at the Hungary GP. They will experience wet weather before going into a month-long summer break.
The drivers saw consecutive wet weather in Canada, Great Britain and Austria before experiencing scorching hot weather last time out in France.
Going into the Hungaroring, rain is set to fall throughout Saturday, potentially creating a jumbled-up grid.
Given the narrow twisty layout of the Hungaroring, few of the usual top-of-the-grid drivers will be pleased by the weather knowing that one mistake will put them in the chaotic midfield.
Last year, Alpine’s Esteban Ocon mastered the mixed conditions and scored a shock win.
