F1 Hungarian Grand Prix weather forecast - Chance of rain in Budapest?

As Formula 1 heads to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian Grand Prix, here's how the weather currently looks for the weekend's event.

F1 heads to Budapest for the 13th round of the 2024 campaign, as the championship passes the halfway mark of what has been a competitive season so far, with six different grand prix winners to date.

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?
