LIVE Race Report from the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix: After the fantastic, yet unexpected, pole position from Charles Leclerc, the day of the race has finally arrived.

Strategies and Starting Grid: Mario Isola’s Predictions
“An incredibly tight qualifying session, with the top four within a tenth and the top ten within half a second, providing the best possible preview for a race we hope will be just as uncertain and spectacular.”

Mario Isola emphasizes the unpredictability of the weekend: the risk of rain in the morning and during the race could overturn any strategy. Nevertheless, most teams have prepared their cars for a dry race, on a circuit with high aerodynamic load.

Expected Strategic Scenarios

Two pit stops with Medium + Hard: The fastest option for a dry race.

One pit stop with Medium and Hard: An option for drivers starting from the middle of the grid, focusing on managing tire degradation.

All three compounds (Soft + Medium + Hard): Useful for gaining positions at the start with the Soft tires, then exploiting the undercut in clear air.
“It only took a ten-degree drop in temperature, a few raindrops, and a 90-degree wind shift in key areas like Turn 5 and the final sector to create chaos and raise lap times,” stated Pirelli’s Motorsport Director.

What time does the Formula 1 race at the Hungarian Grand Prix start today?
The 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix will start at 15:00 local time at the Hungaroring, just outside Budapest.
