Summary
Race day at the Hungaroring is set to be warm and slightly humid, with air temperatures reaching 32C and track temperatures near 50C.
A 40% chance of rain emerges after 1500, but the forecast still points to little disruption because most precipitation is expected after the Grand Prix session.
Winds should stay light to moderate at around 10 km/h, with peaks of 15-20 km/h and gusts up to 35-40 km/h.
The broader weekend forecast remains largely dry, with Friday at 26C and Saturday at 29C, making the Hungarian Grand Prix the last mostly heat-affected round before the summer break.
Will 50°C track temperatures and softest Pirelli tyres turn the Hungarian Grand Prix into a strategy race where qualifying matters more than raw speed?
If rain is likely only after the race, can anyone stop McLaren from controlling a hot, dry Hungaroring weekend?
