by Stefano Zambroni

After a one-week break, here is the WEATHER and SCHEDULE for the Hungary GP: watch out for the unstable forecasts typical of Budapest…

Returning to where Sir Lewis Hamilton first signaled a comeback to his fans with a stunning pole position. We head back to Hungary, fresh from a historic British Grand Prix where the seven-time champion secured his 104th career victory. This is a magnificent Formula 1 season, “blemished” only by a Ferrari that seems to be struggling more than ever, underscored by the recent departure of Enrico Cardile.

The History of the Hungaroring Circuit

Construction of the Hungaroring, located near Budapest, began in 1985 with the aim of creating the first Formula 1 Grand Prix in a country beyond the Iron Curtain. The project was completed in record time, and in 1986, the Hungaroring hosted its first Formula 1 race, becoming the first Grand Prix in Eastern Europe. The track, known for its tight corners and lack of long straights, often features unusual races due to both its unique characteristics and the often unpredictable weather.

Over the years, the Hungaroring has undergone several modifications and updates to improve safety and racing conditions. Despite these changes, the circuit has retained its unique character, becoming a traditional stop on the Formula 1 calendar. Memorable was the 2021 edition, where Esteban Ocon secured his first and so far only career victory, driving for Alpine.
