From August 1 to August 3, the winner of the Hungarian stage of Formula-1 will be determined at the Hungaroging Mountain near Budapest. The champion decided to deal with the main intrigues and interests on the eve of the race before the vacation.
Historical reference The Grand Prix of Hungary can rightly be called historical, and the Hungaroring highway is legendary. And it is not just a pathos for the sake of pathos, the first race in Budapest took place in 1936, although then there was a break between the arrivals at 50 years.
For the time the head of the Bernie Ekklstoun Championship was a great success to carry out the stage behind the iron curtain, 50 years after the first race in Hungary. In 1986, 200,000 spectators came at the Grand Prix.
Today, the stage is also extremely popular, although most fans are not locals, but visiting fans, especially from Germany.
Since then, since 1986, the Hungarian Grand Prix has been included in the formula-1 calendar every year and the stages are performed on the Hungarone.
During his 40-year history, the route under Budapestawawaned two riders: Nigel Mansel in 1992 and Michael Schumacher in 2001 were able to win the titles of World Cup here.
In addition, the teams of Williams and Ferrari also won the Hungaroring Champions title: British in 1996, and the Italians in 2001, 2002 and 2004.
The first change in the configuration of the route was made in 1989, when the chican after the third turn (the temporary measure used during construction due to the detection of a source at the place where the direct route was to pass) was removed by overlapping the stream.
In 2003, the main line was extended by about 200 meters, and the stud at the end of the straight line was narrowed to create more opportunities for overtaking. In addition, the number 12 was narrowed. These changes extended the length of the route from 3.975 to 4.381 km.
And this year, Hungaroring was a little updated and updated for the convenience of fans and teams.
Records of the stage in Hungary The absolute record holder for the victories is the Ferrari Hamis Hamilton racer, who rises 8 times to the highest stage of the pedestal of honor.
Nevertheless, the 7-time world champion has not won in Hungary for 5 years, and the last Sir Lewis has won in 2020.
The closest to Hamilton are two legends of Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna, who have 4 and 3 victories on the Hungaroging, respectively.
As for the teams, McLaren is a clear dominant in races near Budapest, which can add another one to their 12 wins this weekend.
Williams and Ferrari have 7 victories, as well as 5 and 4 in Mercedes and Red Bull.
The configuration of the track Hungaroring is considered one of the most technical and most demanding formula-1. This track is one of the most slow ones in the championship – one circle is 4.381 km long, and the race lasts 70 circles, which is a total arrival distance of 306.63 km.
In the 2020s, Hungaroring was partially updated: some areas of the route were overacted to improve the clutch, and the security areas were expanded in accordance with new FIA standards. At the same time, the configuration remained almost unchanged since the debut on Formula-1 in 1986, which makes it one of the most stable in history.
The route has 14 twists and two DRS zones. Key areas – the first turn after a long starting line, where the chances are most likely to overtake, as well as the middle sector with a sequence of technical connections that require high accuracy in control.
F1 Due to the combination of complex, narrow configuration and hot summer, which often complicates the conditions for riders, Hungaroring is a real test for skill and endurance – for both pilots and engineers.
The record circle of the race at the Grand Prix of Hungary was demonstrated by Ferrari Lewis Hamilton pilot, which in 2020 at the wheel of Mercedes drove 1: 16,627.
Tires, strategies and weather in Hungary For this race, the rubber manufacturer for formula-1 Pirelli decided not to experiment and repeated the configuration last year, which used one of the most softest tires of the available: C3 rigid, C4 medium and C5 soft.
Pirelli Another important component that accompanies the Hungarian Grand Prix is the high temperature, in fact, this year’s race showed the highest fixed temperature of the highway per season-58.6 ° C.
Given that the rubber configuration has not changed, it may well be repeated in 2024, when the pilots made two stops, passing at Midium-Hardi-Midium or two rigid sets.
As for the weather, the situation is extremely interesting here. Some meteorological services predict small precipitation on Saturday and Sunday, although it is more likely that we will get a race to dry, though not on the Hungaroging Sun.
Favorites and intrigues of the Grand Prix of Hungary The Hungarian Grand Prix will be the last before a large break in the formula in Formula-1 and it will determine which separation will be between the leaders of the championship for 10 stages before the season is completed.
Lando Norris is extremely necessary to win this race to reduce the lag from Oscar Pastri at least 9 points. If the Australian wins and the second will be the British, then the difference will be already 23 assets.
If the weather is dry, then Max Ferstapppen or Charles Lecler will usually be able to impose some fight, but the advantage of Mclarene is now enormous, so I would like to see a really battle for winning the pilots of “Papaya”.
Currently, the team bridge is able to breed riders so that this year’s Canada does not repeat, but whether it will last for a long time – we may find out on Sunday.
Also, we have another successful stage in the career of Lewis Hamilton, but after the Grand Prix of the United Kingdom, the belief that 7-time all surprises and sensationally wins a race.
Champion forecast We made the last arrivals quite custom forecasts, and here we will return to what the season started.
Let’s try to guess which of the riders McLaren is better captivating the car in Hungary and won its ninth victory in the formula (now in Piastre and Norris on 8).
In our opinion, Oscar Pastri, who demonstrated much more stable in Belgium, will repeat his success and at the Hungaroric, where he won the formula-1 race for the first time in his career last year.
