Hungarian F1 GP Swamped by Sudden Floods

18/07/2024

Sudden floods have swamped the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix, leaving the pit lane and paddock submerged.

A Cloud – or a Deluge – of Uncertainty Suddenly Surrounds This Weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

Photos and videos are emerging from the Hungaroring paddock and pit lane, struck by an intense storm on Wednesday, with forecasts of scorching heat set to continue.

Floodwaters in the pit lane reached up to 20 cm, a large spectator display screen was overturned by violent winds, while severe hail damaged the roof of the McLaren motorhome… which had only just been repaired and returned to service after recently suffering a fire in Barcelona.

Preparations are expected to resume today for media day, but there is still much water that has not yet drained at this time.
