On Sunday the Hungarian Grand Prix is on the programme. After a wet Saturday morning, it remains to be seen if it will stay dry during the race. The first rain showers have already fallen on the circuit, but the chance of precipitation during the race is small.

The Sunday morning in Hungary is wet. The first rain showers have already fallen on the Hungaroring. The Formula 3 race is running in dry conditions, but on rain tyres due to a track that is still wet.

Wet track during Formula 1 race?

According to Weather.com, it will start raining again at 11:00 local time and there is a chance of light rain from 12:00 local time. That chance remains until 15:00 local time, after which it is expected to remain dry. It is therefore possible that we will see light rain at the start of the race, as this starts at 15:00 local time as well. There is also a good chance that the race will start in dry conditions, but on a wet track. A drying track can make for exciting strategies.

However, the weather in Budapest can change very quickly, so who knows, we might see some raindrops during the race. Max Verstappen will try to move up from P10 as quickly as possible. The Dutchman suffered from engine problems in Q3 of qualifying. George Russell will try to keep the Ferrari drivers behind him from pole position.
