The Hungaroring, hosting its first Grand Prix in 1986, is often called “Monaco without walls” due to its technical layout and high-downforce demands. For this reason, teams like McLaren, which excelled at the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix with Oscar Piastri’s victory, are considered favorites.

Moreover, Budapest’s hot August weather can impact tire wear and engine performance. Therefore, teams with strong chassis setups, such as McLaren, hold a competitive edge.
