Riders will face a 4.08 km layout that is both short and narrow, requiring teams to adjust their approach and adapt their strategies for the weekend.
Marc Marquez arrives in Hungary leading the championship following a double win at the Red Bull Ring that extended his streak to six consecutive victories.

Francesco Bagnaia enters this round needing to recover points after a difficult race in Austria, with a 197-point gap to the leader.
