Stormy Qualifiers: Hungarian Grand Prix Faces Delays Amid Torrential Downpour

Heavy rain disrupts Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying

Severe rainfall has interrupted the qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix as storms move through the Hungaroring.

Just two hours ahead of the qualifying session, the temperature had climbed to a sweltering 35 degrees during FP3. However, a storm soon developed, bringing heavy rain with only about an hour left before qualifying.

Due to heavy rainfall, the start was delayed by 20 minutes. Although Q1 began under wet conditions that seemed to be getting better, the rain soon intensified again, leading to another halt with 13 minutes left in the session.

UPDATE 1: The session resumed at 2:40 PM but was soon halted again due to Marcus Ericsson's crash at Turn 8. Fortunately, he was not injured.

UPDATE 2: The session resumes at 14:55 but is halted with a red flag following a crash involving Felipe Massa. He is also unharmed. There are still 5 minutes and 20 seconds left in Q1.
