Heavy Rain Causes Pit Lane Flooding Just Hours Before First Practice Session at the Hungarian Grand Prix

It looks like Friday’s first practice session at the Hungarian Grand Prix might be in jeopardy.

Severe weather conditions have cast doubt on whether the session, scheduled for just after midday, will be able to proceed as planned.

In a surprising turn of events, recent images have shown the Hungarian Grand Prix pit lane submerged under water, just under 48 hours before the initial qualifying session.

The flooding has raised concerns about the feasibility of holding the practice session on time.

Despite the gloomy start, there’s hope on the horizon as the weather is expected to clear up, with warm temperatures forecasted for the weekend.

Looking ahead to the race day, temperatures are predicted to hover around 33°C to 34°C, which should bring some relief to F1 fans.

While the weekend’s forecast suggests a return to more pleasant weather, the sight of pit lane staff navigating through ankle-deep water certainly raises some alarm bells.

Ralf Schumacher’s Controversial Comments

In unrelated news, former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has found himself in the spotlight for past comments he made about Lewis Hamilton.

Schumacher had previously criticized Hamilton’s activism on the track, calling it “dangerous” following Hamilton’s announcement about his sexual orientation on social media.

Hamilton, known for using his platform to advocate for various causes, including the Black Lives Matter movement and LGBTQ+ rights, has been vocal about social issues.

He’s even sported a Progress Pride helmet featuring a rainbow design at races in the Middle East.

Schumacher’s Recent Revelation

Adding to the intrigue, Schumacher recently announced on social media that he is gay.

He shared a photo on Instagram with his French business manager, Etienne, captioned: “The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything.”

This revelation has sparked a fresh wave of criticism online.

Some users have dug up old remarks from Schumacher, reportedly made in 2021, where he criticized Hamilton’s track activism as “polarizing.”
