Saturday will be rainy throughout the day in the Mogyoród region, where the Hungaroring track is located. Even with no rain forecast for qualifying, the track is expected to be wet
Formula 1 is preparing for a wet track day at the Hungarian Grand Prix. On Saturday (30), qualifying for the last race before the summer break in Europe, the category has to get used to the idea of riding in the rain throughout the day. Although the situation is uncertain when it comes time to set the grid, the track is likely to be wet.
The expectation for the day is that the chance of rain will be lower in the mid-afternoon period than in the morning - when it rained - and in the evening. Although a 20% chance of rain is expected for 4pm local time [11am Brasília], the beginning of the day is water on the track. Formula 3, for example, started with a wet track at the beginning of the day's activities.
The temperature is expected to be 26°C with a sensation of 27°C under a cloudy sky. The relative humidity is high at 72%, while winds average 24 km/h and gust up to 26 km/h. The information is from the weather service Accuweather.
Earlier, in the third and final free practice, the situation is quite different. Scheduled for 1pm local time, the initial session is expected to have rain - up to 66% - and some lightning.
In terms of temperature, it will be like qualifying: 26°C and a sensation of 28°C. Humidity reaches 80%, while winds reach gusts of 19 km/h and average of 15 km/h.
