The coronavirus pandemic may have brought the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix forward by two weeks compared to its original date, but it is still the high summer, and Formula 1 cars are lapping at the Hungaroring.
In fact, Friday's opening practice sessions for what is now the championship's third round (and not its 12th) took place in very similar conditions to last year's event, with a wet FP2 session meaning most of the long running took place in FP1 and, as a result, the pecking order is more masked than usual.
Nevertheless, with the usual caveats about fuel loads and engine modes applying, there were still trends to spot and data to analyse. But it seems the fortunes of this year's race winner may rest on a famously fluctuating prediction.
