The midway point of the 2024 F1 Season, the Hungaroring offers a change in pace, with a focus on technical driving over pure horsepower. Sometimes compared with a go kart track, the Hungaroring doesn’t feature many straights and Team Principals should be ready to direct battles as their drivers negotiate the corners.

Tips & Tricks

Consistency is the key to victory at Hungaroring, with aggressive pushing limited by the lack of straights.

  1. Two pit strategies are essential in Hungary, but with a higher chance of a safety car or virtual saftey car appearing this might even be stretched to three pits.
  2. Hungaroring strongly favours cars that are primed for downforce and handle corners well, making it a good opportunity for teams with less powerful cars to earn some points.
  3. There are few clean opportunities for overtakes, despite the main corners and two DRS zones, so it’ll be down to Team Principals to judge when exactly to push an opportunity.
