Iconic F1 Grand Prix Marks Big Anniversary with Exciting Renovations

This grandstand is a prime spot for fans, providing a close-up view of the action at the start and finish. Some of the work on this grandstand is extensive and, while much will be ready for the 2024 event, completion is scheduled for April 2026.

The changes are part of a long-term effort to keep the Hungaroring up to modern F1 standards and enhance the experience for both teams and spectators. Since joining the series, the Hungarian Grand Prix has become a regular part of the F1 season.

The event has produced memorable racing and historic moments. Over the decades, drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher have excelled on this circuit’s tight, twisty layout.

With the new improvements, there is a strong push to make the venue even more attractive for the sport’s future.

This season’s Hungarian stop is one highlight among several in a packed F1 schedule that includes major events in Austria, Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The race at the Hungaroring follows Spa-Francorchamps and takes place just before the summer break.

In 2025, the Hungarian Grand Prix will again be held in early August, keeping its traditional spot in the sequence of races. Fans are keen to see how these renovations help teams work and how the changes affect the overall spectacle.

There has been intense discussion off-track in recent weeks as well. Red Bull’s protest against George Russell’s win in Canada attracted attention, while McLaren’s handling of the Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collision raised further debate.

Ferrari also addressed rumors about Charles Leclerc possibly leaving, while Christian Horner commented on Yuki Tsunoda’s form. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff discussed the current competitive landscape, describing it as “a different ball game.”

The drivers’ and constructors’ standings will be shaped not just by events on track but also by these stories. Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull remain in close pursuit. As repairs continue at the Hungaroring, teams and fans are already looking forward to the anniversary celebrations and a refreshed racing atmosphere.

The coming race will offer a mix of nostalgia and new beginnings on one of the sport’s most established stages.
