About the Hungarian GP
The Hungarian Grand Prix was another event to come under fire from tobacco laws over the
preseason, but organisers were able to get an exemption, which will no doubt cheer the
local fans. The circuit still retains its quirky, slow, technical nature, and drivers,
despite finding it an overall uninspiring experience, are still met with a significant
challenge thanks to the hot conditions. Last year Mika Hakkinen drove a solid race to take
victory ahead of Michael Schumacher.
Set up
Maximum downforce levels. Hungaroring demands the car to have optimal mechanical grip for
its dirty surface and technical layout.
