With only four races remaining in the season, Tsolov and Boya will aim to maximize their chances at the Hungarian venue. Inthraphuvasak, in strong form in recent rounds, will also be one to watch in the battle for victories. The title fights are heating up as the championship enters its final phase
The 2025 season is drawing to a close, and all eyes are on the penultimate round set to take place this weekend at the Hungaroring, near the Hungarian capital of Budapest. With 78 points still up for grabs between the races in Hungary and the final two in Monza this September, anything can happen and nothing is decided yet. Campos Racing heads into this crucial round with all three of its drivers eager to make their mark on the Hungarian asphalt.
After Spa-Francorchamps, Tsolov has emerged as the top contender to dethrone Rafael Câmara from the championship lead. The “Bulgarian Lion” currently sits second in the standings with 98 points, trailing Câmara by 28. Following a difficult weekend at Silverstone, Tsolov was in podium contention during Saturday’s race in Belgium, and only the cancellation of Sunday’s race due to rain prevented him from fighting at the front once more. The promising Red Bull Junior driver already has two wins to his name, one of which came in Monaco, where he dominated after securing pole position and setting the fastest lap.
One of the standout names of the second half of the season has undoubtedly been Mari Boya. After delivering remarkable comeback drives in the early races, Boya climbed the podium for the first time this year in the streets of Monaco. Following his addition to the Aston Martin Driver Development Programme, the Les-born driver scored three consecutive podium finishes at the Red Bull Ring and Silverstone—the latter being the scene of his first win of the season in particularly treacherous wet conditions. In Belgium, Boya again fought his way up the order with outstanding race pace, but a track limits penalty denied him more points. He currently sits fourth in the standings with 85 points.
Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak is also finishing the season in strong form. The Thai driver secured his maiden FIA Formula 3 victory at Silverstone and has scored points in five additional races, most recently at Spa-Francorchamps. Inthraphuvasak is another strong candidate for success in Hungary—especially considering this was the track where he claimed his first podium in the category back in 2024.
In the Teams’ Championship, the battle is even tighter. Campos Racing holds second place with 221 points, just eleven behind leaders Trident.
Over the decades, the Hungaroring has established itself as a staple venue on the calendars of top-level motorsport series, including Formula 1 as the host of the Hungarian Grand Prix. Located in Mogyoród, the circuit was inaugurated in 1986 and has remained a fixture on the F1 calendar ever since. The layout has seen minimal changes over the years and has remained unchanged since 2002. It measures 4.381 km in length and features 14 corners—six left-handers and eight right-handers. Summer conditions in Hungary are typically scorching, but sudden downpours are not uncommon, and rain is currently forecast for Sunday.
Free practice and qualifying will both take place on Friday at 09:55 and 15:00 respectively. The Sprint Race will get underway on Saturday at 10:05, while Sunday’s Feature Race is scheduled for 08:30. All times are in Central European Summer Time (CEST).
Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “We are heading into two crucial races in the outcome of the championships. After Hungary, we’ll only have Monza left, so our aim is to score as many points as possible to arrive in Italy after the August break in the best position to fight for both the Teams’ and Drivers’ titles. We’ve shown strong performance all year across every type of circuit, and I’m confident we’ll have an extremely competitive package at the Hungaroring too.”
