Free Practice 1 (FP1) of the Hungarian Grand Prix started on dry tarmac, but Red Bull’s Sergio Perez found himself crashing only three minutes into the session, leading to a red flag before significant lap times were posted.
The session was barely resumed when the rain started to pour, leading to a spin-out by Valtteri Bottas in his Alfa Romeo at Turn 12.
With weather conditions restricting the drivers’ running time and all cars shifting to intermediate tyres, Carlos Sainz, in his Ferrari, caused a second red flag after spinning out on Turn 3.
