Hungarian Grand Prix circuit
The 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix takes place over 70 laps of the 4.381-kilometre Hungaroring in Budapest on Sunday, July 21.
The Hungaroring opened for (F1) business in 1986, a memorable Grand Prix in which Nelson Piquet sneaked around the of Ayrton Senna’s Lotus to take the lead.
After a run of 'power circuits' such as Silverstone, the Hungaroring presents drivers with a fresh challenge thanks to 13 tight, often bumpy corners that reward consistency, exceptional chassis performance and high downforce.
Often compared to a go-kart track, the Hungaroring tends to suit the Red Bulls best – but with the weather often swelteringly hot, high track temps and heavy tyre degradation can give the engineers all manner of headaches.
Average speeds at the Hungaroring with the cars in qualifying trim are just over 200kph, compared to well over 250kph at Monza.
The Hungarian Grand Prix starts at 3 p.m. local time. Overtaking is tricky but keep an eye on Turns 1 and 15 – these corners tend to see the most action.
