...And this is what our drivers have to say about Hungary (or possibly Hungry):
Jaime Alguersuari
"Last year's Hungarian GP was my debut in Formula 1 and what I
remember best is actually finishing the race, because it was the toughest
thing I had done. It was good fun in a way, because I did not care about
the lap times or my position, I was just driving the car. It was a great
weekend and I had not expected to finish the race, as physically the
Hungaroring is a very demanding track with no straights and lots of
corners so there is no time to catch your breath and a year ago I was not
at the right level of fitness required to be a Grand Prix driver. I am
looking forward to going back there this time as, I was so inexperienced
last year that it will be really interesting to see the track again with
one year of racing in F1 under my belt."
Sebastien Buemi
"It is an unusual and very tight circuit which is a bit like Monaco,
except not in a town, as you run with a lot of downforce. Maximum speed
is not so important as you want the downforce for the corners. There is a
real buzz at the track, as there is always a big crowd and we like that.
On top of that, the city of Budapest is fantastic. I really enjoy driving
here even if the track surface is very bumpy, which makes it tough
physically. It's a fun race though, as we only encounter this type of
circuit once a year, although for actual racing it can be a bit difficult
because with no long straight and constant left, right, left, right
series of corners there are no opportunities for slipstreaming another
car to get past it."
