F1 Hungary, a (very) wet eve
The Hungaroring weekend is expected to be very hot, according to the most reliable sources: there should be no precipitation, and temperatures should consistently exceed 30 degrees. Today, however, a flood hit the Hungarian track, and the consequences are making the rounds on social media.

In the afternoon, hail also fell on the track: damage was recorded to McLaren’s hospitality, which apparently has an ongoing issue with fate, having already been a victim of a fire at Montmeló.

Currently, the sun has returned to the Hungaroring track. There should be no problems when the engines start, but this is a factor that disrupts the lead-up to the weekend.
