It appears Max Verstappen’s hopes of a dry Hungarian Grand Prix could be realised.
After two wet races at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, there seemed to be a strong chance of a third wet race for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Leading up to the race weekend, the chance of rain on Sunday was around 50%, but heavy rain hit Budapest and Hungaroring overnight. The F3 race on Sunday morning, where Rafael Camara became champion, took place on a damp track under cloudy skies. Max Verstappen, aiming for a dry race, struggled with his car this weekend, calling it “on ice” and lacking grip. With a 20% chance of rain now forecasted, Verstappen needs a dry track to make his way from eighth on the grid. The wind is expected to blow at 10 to 20 kph in a south-easterly direction, creating a headwind along the main straight for the drivers.
