F1 | Ferrari, Vettel on the Hungaroring: “Fast-paced track”

Formula One returns to the track again this weekend for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the last event before the summer break. Sebastian Vettel he arrives with the wind in his sails at the Hungarian round, after the excellent race in Hockenheim which saw him finish in second place at the end of a great comeback from twentieth place.

The German, describing the Hungaroring track, said: “If there is a track that tests the driver in modern Formula 1, it is the Hungaroring. On this fast-paced track there are no long straights so you basically always find yourself having to work with the steering wheel. The climate then, given the period in which we come to compete here, is often torrid, which certainly doesn't help".

"If the asphalt is dry it is always very dusty and it doesn't necessarily improve over the weekend because wind and off-track trips bring back the sand which the cars naturally tend to eliminate when turning. – underlined Seb -. Precisely for this reason, grip outside the ideal trajectory is minimal and any error risks being paid dearly in terms of time".

Then speaking about the most insidious curves he added: “The most significant are 1 and 14. At the first corner, taking a few risks, it is possible to attempt an overtaking, even if the straight from which you arrive is certainly not long. Even at turn 14 it is not at all easy to complete the maneuver successfully".
