After a positive test in Jerez last week, the team move onto cultural hotspot, Budapest, for the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend.

The popular Hungaroring made its debut on the Formula One calendar in 1986. Following the demise of protracted negotiations with Russia, Bernie Ecclestone was still looking for a venue in Eastern Europe to host a Formula One event and Hungary fitted the bill. After just seven months of construction work, the circuit opened for its first race in August, attracting some 200,000 spectators and which Nelson Piquet, in a Williams, won.

The Hungaroring boasts some of the best spectator viewing facilities on the calendar. Thanks to its location within the Three Springs Valley, some 20kms north east of the city centre, fans can see over 50% of the track from any vantage point round the circuit. With the majority of fans traveling from neighboring Austria and Germany, the team's two drivers, Alex and Nico, will have a large supporter contingent cheering them on on Sunday.
