After two wet races at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, there initially appeared to be a strong chance of three in a row for the Hungarian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

In the days leading up to the race weekend, the chance of rain on Sunday hovered around 50%, and overnight, the city of Budapest, and the Hungaroring itself were battered by heavy rain.<\/p>\n

The F3 race on Sunday morning, in which Brazilian Rafael Camara was crowned champion, was run on a damp track and under leaden skies.<\/p>\n

As for the grand prix at 1500 local time, it appears four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen may now get his wish for a dry race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Verstappen has been struggling with his RB21 this weekend, describing his car as being “on ice”, and after qualifying, declaring it had “no grip”.<\/p>\n

Appreciably, the last thing the Red Bull driver needs, therefore, is a wet track as he tries to fight his way through from eighth on the grid.<\/p>\n

The forecast now is for only a 20% chance of rain, with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

As for the wind, which was a major factor in the final part of qualifying, and which allowed Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to land pole and defeat the McLaren pair of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, it is predicted to blow at 10 to 20 kph, and in a south-easterly direction.<\/p>\n

That means the drivers will be facing a headwind along the main straight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After two wet races at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, there initially appeared to be a strong chance of three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-40685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
