Betting Predictions for the Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 

The Formula 1 season charges on, with the Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 set to light up the Hungaroring at the end of July. This year’s competition has already seen 6 drivers take the top spot. With Europe hosting its 4th consecutive race, the question is: will we witness yet another new winner on the podium? Bet on Formula 1 and other sports events at online gambling sites in Hungary.

F1 teams’ experience at Hungaroring in previous years

The Hungaroring was built in the mid-1980s, in times of communist Hungary, and held its first Grand Prix in 1986. The track was a success and, ever since, never left the F1 calendar. It is a track where drivers take their first wins; the list includes Fernando Alonso in 2003, Jenson Button in a dramatic race of 2006 starting from a record-breaking 14th, Heikki Kovalainen in 2008, and Esteban Ocon in a race full of drama in 2021 when Ocon won thanks to Alonso’s defense against Hamilton.

Traditionally, the track requires a lot of downforce, and judging from the 2024 experience, Red Bull and McLaren must be in front of the pack. The track has mainly low and medium-speed corners where those two teams have proven their stance, so it will be a fight for the podium places between the two. It might be another attempt to win a race in 2024 for Lando Norris, who had missed a chance in Austria but produced a good race at Silverstone a week later.

Mercedes’ upgrades have put them far above Ferrari and Aston Martin. The Silver Arrows might also get a shot at a win if their rivals struggle with settings. Lewis Hamilton has shown his ability to perform at the top level when the car is capable of fighting, as proved by his stellar performance in the last race. He has not been performing as consistently as his teammate George Russell, although online sportsbooks in Hungary would still expect them to take places in the range of 3rd to 5th.

That is unless Ferrari comes back. However, ever since Monaco, their form only has been declining. They expected their new upgrades to bring them closer to the front of the pack, but they did not. 

In fact, Ferrari has been dreadful so far, and their mistake when they should not have put dry tires only proves it. It seems that Ferrari only wants to contain their status as a laughing stock. If Ferrari cannot get their things together by the Dutch Grand Prix, they should focus on 2024 from there on. There might be a surprise at Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 coming from Aston Martin who had a good race at Silverstone after a failed Qualifying. If the race is full of events and drama, the team might get to 5th or 6th place.
