No Formula 1 race in Hungary in 2025? Hungaroring in ruins – PHOTOS
Change language:
The official Facebook page of the Hungaroring has shared some startling photos showing the current state of the race track and its facilities. Here’s what’s happening.
Hungaroring in “ruins”
It’s been a month since the Hungarian Grand Prix, which was won by McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. However, for some, viewing the Hungaroring now might be disheartening, as nearly all its buildings, along with the race track, appear devastated. The scene resembles something more akin to the aftermath of a bombing. The iconic main building, long a symbol of racing in Hungary, and the paddock have all but vanished. Pits now gape open where drivers and their teams were working on their cars just weeks ago.
The reason for this drastic change is that the Hungaroring is undergoing major renovation. Since it first hosted Formula 1 in 1986, the circuit has remained largely unchanged. The original structures were built in just eight months – far quicker than any other modern Formula 1 circuit, according to F1 Technical. Yet despite the passage of time, most of the buildings and grandstands have seen little improvement over the years.
New main buildings, pits, grandstand, and larger garages
The renovation is taking place in two phases. The first phase was completed on 22 May and involved reconstructing the retaining walls in the event area, widening the paddock, and adding two tunnels under the finish straight.
Spending tax payers money on the important things like this for example. But, Hungarians loves their Viktator….the best Viktator in the world!
Mebbe you should be writing yer comment in Romani. Would be more appropriate. Don’t ya think?
