FIA announce major changes to Hungarian GP ahead of F1 race
The FIA has announced multiple changes to the F1 circuit in Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, as the 2025 campaign marks the 40th anniversary of F1 at the Hungaroring.
The fight for the drivers’ title continues with two different winners in the previous race at Spa, Max Verstappen in the sprint and Oscar Piastri in the grand prix. Piastri returns to the track where he claimed his debut win last year.
Changes to the Budapest circuit include resurfacing the main straight and pit lane, converting the grass strip at Turn 5 to gravel, and adding new barriers at Turn 14.
Last year’s race saw a heated moment between Verstappen and Hamilton at Turn 1, leading to colliding. Will history repeat itself this year?
McLaren is hoping for a fair fight to the front in Hungary, as Piastri looks to extend his lead over Norris in the drivers’ standings and secure another victory at the Hungaroring.
