Hungarian Grand Prix Pit Lane Flooded Just Hours Before First Qualifying Session, Raising Concerns About Friday’s Practice in Budapest

There’s growing worry that Friday’s first practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix might be called off.

With severe weather on the horizon, many are concerned about whether the event can proceed as planned.

Less than two days before the initial qualifying session, startling images have surfaced showing the Hungarian Grand Prix pit lane submerged in water.

Staff are seen wading through water that is above their ankles, raising serious concerns about the session’s feasibility.

On a brighter note, the weather is expected to improve over the weekend.

Hungary will see temperatures rising to around 33°C and 34°C on race day.

This should provide some relief for F1 fans, who can look forward to warmer conditions as the weekend progresses.

Controversial Comments Resurface

In other news, recent social media activity has sparked controversy.

Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher’s past remarks criticizing Lewis Hamilton’s activism have come back into the spotlight.

Schumacher had previously described Hamilton’s on-track activism as ‘dangerous’ and ‘polarizing’ after Hamilton publicly came out as gay on social media.

Hamilton has long used his platform to advocate for various causes, including the Black Lives Matter movement and LGBTQ+ rights.

He’s even worn a Progress Pride helmet with a rainbow design at several races in the Middle East.

Interestingly, Schumacher recently made headlines for a different reason.

He posted a photo on Instagram of himself with his French business manager, Etienne, and announced that he is gay.

The post was accompanied by a heartfelt message about the importance of having the right partner.

Despite Schumacher’s recent personal announcement, some critics have dug up his old comments from 2021, reigniting the debate over his stance on Hamilton’s activism.
