The Hungarian Grand Prix's circuit, the Hungaroring, is often compared to an overgrown go-kart track, due to its lack of straights. In fact, it's dubbed "Monaco without the buildings". As a result, races can be processional but it's also true that since 1986 this circuit has hosted some truly remarkable outcomes and a few breathtaking moves too.
Cars look spectacular here, bouncing off the kerbs and with low camera angles giving an impression of speed at what is really quite a low-speed circuit.
The constantly changing gradient makes the track interesting to race on, and precision is of key importance, with each corner leading into the next. And it can be hard on tyres. Cars require mechanical grip and a torquey engine. Most of all, the emphasis is on downforce and teams will run maximum wing.
The track runs along one side of a valley, drops down into the sweeping Turns 1 and 2, and then rises up again. It's at this first corner that the only real chance of a passing move lies. The final section of spoon curves allows cars to bunch up tightly behind each other.
Jenson Button won his first race here in 2006, Fernando Alonso in 2003 and Damon Hill back in 1993, while Felipe Massa was set for the win last year until his Ferrari engine let go, gifting a debut victory to Heikki Kovalainen.
