The 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix returns to the tight, twisty Hungaroring from 1–3 August, round 14 of the championship.This 4.381 km circuit demands high downforce—akin to Monaco—making qualifying performance crucial due to notoriously tricky overtaking. Hot mid‑summer conditions in Hungary often generate tyre degradation and even surprise thunderstorms, adding strategic complexity . Pirelli brings the soft C3, medium C4, and hard C5 compounds—teams will juggle these to balance pace and longevity.

The natural‑bowl layout offers excellent spectator views, and off‑track, Budapest’s vibrant city and nearby Aquarena water‑park provide appealing distractions.

Key storylines include whether Red Bull maintains dominance on compound‑sapping tracks, how Ferrari and Mercedes adapt aero packages here, and Alpine’s Ocon hoping to repeat his 2021 surprise win. With qualifying likely to decide the podium, expect tight margins, fierce strategy calls, and the usual Hungarian heat to test both machines and drivers.

The circuit is only 20km from Budapest, putting you close to one of Europe’s most fascinating, storied and lively city centres.
