After the end of an action-packed race weekend at the British Grand Prix, the Formula 1 paddock will head towards Hungaroring for the Hungarian Grand Prix in two weeks’ time.

Hungaroring is a 4.381 kilometer or 2.722 mile-long circuit and there will be a total of 70 laps. Since 1986, Hungary has regularly hosted the Grand Prix.

It is worth mentioning that the entire weekend will be partly cloudy; while there’s a 24% probability of rain on Friday, the percentage falls down to 16% and 18% on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. However, it is likely fans will hope for rain to spice up the whole race weekend.

Red Bull will look to bounce back at Hungary GP

However, it would be an uphill task for Red Bull to win at Hungaroring; Lewis Hamilton has won in Hungary a record eight times. In addition, Silver Arrows have decreased Red Bull’s lead in the constructors’ championship to just four points.
