After hours of rain chaos at Spa on Sunday, F1 will head to the Hungaroring for the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend.

An impressively controlled drive from Oscar Piastri meant that barring a disaster this weekend, the Australian will go into the summer break next week as the championship leader.

The Australian driver now has a 16-point advantage at the top of the standings, as he returns to the scene of his first grand prix win at the Hungaroring. Following a fourth place finish at Spa, Max Verstappen has slipped further behind in the championship and is now 81 points away from title leader Piastri.

The Belgian GP was delayed by over an hour on Sunday due to wet weather and poor visibility on track; but will we see similar conditions in Budapest this weekend?

F1 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix weather forecast

The first practice session of the day gets underway at 1:30pm local time (7:30am ET) under pleasant conditions with sunshine and a gentle breeze from the west.

There is zero per cent chance of rain and temperatures sit at 79 degrees, ideal conditions for rookie drivers such as Paul Aron to get to grips with F1 machinery in FP1.

The on track action will return at 5pm local time (11am ET) for FP2, where conditions remain favourable for the drivers.

Sunshine and a gentle breeze will continue to tickle the circuit, with temperatures reaching 80 degrees.

The likelihood of rain increases slightly, but it still remains low with a 15 per cent chance of precipitation.

Saturday, August 2 - FP3 & Qualifying

The threat of rain increases on Saturday at the Hungaroring, particularly for the all-important qualifying session.

F1's final practice session of the weekend starts at 12:30pm local time (7:30am ET), where there is only a low 17 per cent chance of rain.

Sunshine is expected as light winds reach the track from the south west, and temperatures will reach 79 degrees.

Rain clouds will assemble in the sky for qualifying at 4pm, with light rain showers expected and a 43 per cent chance of precipitation forecast.

Temperatures remain high at 80 degrees, as wind speeds increase slightly with a gentle breeze entering the circuit from the west.

Sunday, August 3 - Race

Sunday and race day at the Hungarian GP is forecast to be the brightest of them all, with lights out at 3pm local time (CEST).

Sunshine will bake the track all morning as the clouds dissipate and make way for the heat, with temperatures of 77 degrees forecast for the race start.

A hot track with little cloud cover or rain to cool it down could cause extra wear on the tyres, in what will be a consistently warm F1 weekend.

The chance of rain hovers at 15 per cent throughout the entire grand prix distance, and wind speeds once again remain low.
