Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix – RedBull Racing
With the Hungarian Grand Prix approaching and back-to-back races with the German Grand Prix, we’re taking a look round the track the drivers will be racing on with an ‘insider track report’ from Daniel Ricciardo ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
What to look out for, where the best places to overtake are and lots more…. 🙂
Daniel Ricciardo – Hungarian Grand Prix – RedBull Racing
“I think the track in Hungary is very fun and busy. The second sector is great because it’s corner after corner and there is not much time to rest and think so you can just get into a good rhythm and once you find that rhythm it feels really nice.“
“I won pretty much every category there so I’ve always enjoyed it.“
“It’s also always around the summertime so it’s normally nice and hot and you get a good summer feeling when you go there.“
“Also you know that the holidays are around the corner. Apart from that, Budapest is a fun city. It has really good restaurants on offer and the people are always very friendly.“
Max Verstappen – Hungarian Grand Prix – RedBull Racing
“Hungaroring is a great track and Budapest is a really cool city. Normally when we arrive it’s pretty warm which is nice.“
“I always enjoy driving there because it’s a small track with a big car so it gives a bit of a go kart feeling, it’s also pretty tough due to all the turns, so you don’t really get a chance to rest and usually end up pretty sweaty in the heat.“
“Sector 2 is my favourite part of the track, it’s all about hitting the apex of one corner right so you are in the right position for the next one. If you get it wrong it’s a big time penalty, so you need to be really focused.”
“There are some really good restaurants in Budapest, I have had some amazing meals there. The good food and the good atmosphere means I always really enjoy going there.“
“I have been there a few times testing with 2.0 litre, with Formula 3 and once with F1 so I’m really looking forward to it again.“
There’s lots more coming soon ahead of the back-to-back races before the summer break and lots more coming from other teams too so make sure you keep checking back for the latest….
