Here's what the weather forecast looks like during the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix weekend at Hungaroring.

F1 heads to Budapest for the 13th round of the 2024 campaign, as the championship passes the halfway mark of what has been a truly unpredictable season with six different drivers emerging victorious so far.

Lewis Hamilton's emotional win at Silverstone ended a victory drought spanning two and a half years, while his Mercedes team-mate, George Russell, claimed a surprise win in Austria just a week earlier.

Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, and Charles Leclerc have also been on the top step, with Max Verstappen taking the remaining seven victories.

As the grid descends on the Hungaroring - a track historically kind to Hamilton with a record eight victories and nine pole positions, the stage is set for another chapter in this dramatic season.

Can the seven-time champion string together back-to-back wins? Will Verstappen regain his on-track dominance and extend his championship lead? Or will we witness a surprise driver emerge victorious?
