Formula One Hungary

Hungary is one of the prestigious and unusual venues in the circuit of Formula One Championship. Located close to the city of Budapest, the 4.38 km long winding and dusty Hungaroaring presents the drivers with some of the

most unique challenges. In Hungaroaring, strategy and not mere speed rules the day. The 1990 win of Thierry Bouston over Ayrton Senna exhibited a the execution of a Hungaroaring strategy operating at its best. The narrow track is full of twists and turns. That, along with the intense heat of the central European summer, often presents a processional view of the racing cars not seen almost anywhere else in the major international circuits.

The history of Grand Prix in Hungary is old and goes back to June, 1936 when it held the first Formula One Grand Prix at Nepliget near Budapest. The Hungarian Grand Prix is also exclusive in the way that it saw the first wet race in its history only as recently as in 2006.

Hungaroaring is steeped in history. Damon Hill recorded his first championship win here in 1993. it also saw Fernando Alonso become the youngest Grand Prix winner ever in the fabulous race of 2006. it is also the venue where Michael Schumacher caught up with the records of Alain Prost with 51 wins in 2001, which he later went on to break. He is also the most successful driver at the Hungarian Grand Prix with a tally of four wins, and Williams bags the records of the best constructor with seven wins under its belt.
