Formula One has taken place at the Hungaroring near Budapest since 1986, when it was run the first Gran Prix in a country of est Europa. It was a huge success and almost 200,000 fans showed up. So far 25 editions on this track: Schumacher 4 wins (1994 -1998 - 2001 and 2004) Hamilton 2 wins (2007 and 2009) Barrichello Button Kovalainen Alonso Webber: one win.
The Hungaroring is one of the most technical and demanding circuits of the championship, despite being one of the slowest of the season. A pilot once described it as "a street circuit without the houses". The track is made up of tight and complicated corners which require precise driving. Unfortunately, there is little opportunity for the drivers to overtake and the race is often processional. So will be important the qualifying and the strategy. The Hungaroring is little used outside of the Grand Prix weekend and therefore the track can be quite dusty and low on grip at the beginning of the weekend. Usually the atmospheric temperature is very high and only in 2006 there was a wet race.
Tomorrow 29 july, Alonso will celebrate his 30° birthday and on this circuit he won his first GP in 2003.
the soft(yellow) and the supersoft(red) tyre will be used as “prime” and “option” respectively: just as was the case of Monaco Grand Prix. The FIA decided for a single zone DRS in this race, of course on the start finish straight, the only one on this circuit. It will be the 850° GP in the hystory of Formula One
The podium after 10 races:
1° place: Vettel 6 – Hamilton 2 –Alonso 1– Button 1
2° place; Vettel 3 – Alonso 3 – Hamilton 2 – Button 1 – Webber 1
3° place; Webber 5 – Button 2 – Alonso 1 – Heidfeld 1 – Petrov 1
Fastest lap on race: Webber 4 – Hamilton 2 – Vettel 1 – Alonso 1– Button 1 – Massa 1
After this race there will be a break of four weeks. The next Grand Prix will be raced on the track most spectacular: Spa-Francorchamps with its fast corners, first of all, the legendary Eau Rouge-Raidillon.

This weekend will the be last Grand Prix before the vacation/holiday starts for the Teams and Drivers ..with other words for the complete F1 ..they will have a 3 week off !
So let's enjoy this Hungarian GP before there break .
When the races are in Europe the times are ( normaly ) always the same ,so here are they :

Friday :
1st practice session : 10.00u - 11.30u
2nd practice session : 14.00u - 15.30u

Saturday :
3rd practice session : 11.00u
