Jul.30 (GMM) A hot and probably dry weekend of racing awaits formula one teams ahead of the Hungarian grand prix.

Local weather reports predict a humid and possibly thundery Thursday on the eve of opening practice at the Hungaroring, which is located about a thirty minute drive from the centre of Budapest.

But Friday will be sunny and dry, before some cloud but temperatures in the low-thirties (C) predominate for qualifying on Saturday and then Sunday's grand prix.

The chance of rain on both latter days is very low -- between 5 and 10 per cent.
