Sunday sees the 35th edition of the Hungarian Grand Prix which normally signals the start of the summer break. But this year, just one week on and it will be time for another triple header in this unusual season, with two races in the UK followed by one in Spain.
Last week was far from perfect for Scuderia Ferrari. The team got down to analysing data from the Austrian Grand Prix and assessing the aerodynamic updates that had been rushed to the track in record time to be ready for a first run during Friday free practice for the Styrian Grand Prix, to be held at the same track.
The three hours of free practice were used to compare different configurations of the SF1000 and to gather as much data as possible to analyse carefully to see how the new components were working. With FP3 a washout, further comparison work was impossible on Saturday morning and with the race over for both cars almost immediately after the start, things were about as bad as they could get.
Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel previews the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix: “After the poor showing last weekend in Spielberg it’s good that I can get straight back on track. The Hungaroring is quite a physically demanding circuit for the driver, because it has hardly any straights. In fact there are so many corners and usually, the Grand Prix is held at a very hot time of year. It’s also a track that attracts a lot of Ferrari fans and supporters from Germany too, so it will be very strange racing without seeing them cheering in the grandstands.”
