It looks like Friday’s first practice session at the Hungarian Grand Prix might be in jeopardy.
Severe weather conditions have cast doubt on whether the session, scheduled for just after midday, will be able to proceed as planned.
In a surprising turn of events, recent images have shown the Hungarian Grand Prix pit lane submerged under water, just under 48 hours before the initial qualifying session.
The flooding has raised concerns about the feasibility of holding the practice session on time.
Despite the gloomy start, there’s hope on the horizon as the weather is expected to clear up, with warm temperatures forecasted for the weekend.
Looking ahead to the race day, temperatures are predicted to hover around 33°C to 34°C, which should bring some relief to F1 fans.
While the weekend’s forecast suggests a return to more pleasant weather, the sight of pit lane staff navigating through ankle-deep water certainly raises some alarm bells.
