The work of studying the data continues for Scuderia Ferrari, as the team has worked on a programme for Hungary that will allow for a greater understanding of the SF1000 on a slow track, with very different characteristics to the one in Austria.
The Hungarian Grand Prix has always been held at the Hungaroring, on the outskirts of Budapest, but has never been the third round in any season since it was first inked into the calendar over three decades ago.
The track has undergone a few modifications and Scuderia Ferrari has won here seven times, the first courtesy of Nigel Mansell in 1989, when the Englishman came back from 12th on the grid, overtaking Ayrton Senna when the Brazilian hesitated before lapping Stefan Johansson in the Onyx.
Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc previews the race in Hungary: “I’m really looking forward to being back in the car. I like the Hungaroring, which is a very technical circuit, featuring several tricky areas where you pay for the slightest mistake with lap time. That’s why, especially in qualifying, you have to put together the perfect lap. Budapest is one of my favourite stops on the calendar, because the city is so beautiful and we usually meet lots of enthusiastic fans there. It will be a bit different this time and we will do our best to put on a good show for them.” – Charles explained.
