Grand Prix 4 Championship Time's History
FORMULA 1 Magyar Nagydij 2006
The stunning city of Budapest has played host of the Hungarian Grand Prix since 1986 when the country was still behind the Iron Courtain. The race is a pleasure for the teams as they go to stay in a vibrant city and the weather is usually beatiful.
The Hungaroring is one of the slowest on the clendar with a very twisty configuration of slow corners which can make for a rater processional flag-to-f;ag racing. It usually takes until Saturday for a racing line to clear on the notoriously dusty track and even then maximun downforce is required for corner power. Overtaking is sucha problem here that a good qualifying position is vital, although it is just posible to get past the man in front underbreaking for the first corner but very risky!
The circuit is situated in a natural anphitheatre so viewing is spectacular. The F1 Paddock is in a prime spot as the team members can see most of the track from the back of the motorhomes which makes a refreshing change from watching the race on the televisions in the garage!
