The raised F1 paddock enables the teams to see much of the track action from the back of the motorhomes which is a refreshing change from watching the race on televisions in the motorhomes and garage. Hungaroring hosted its first Grand Prix in 1986 and its twisty configuration with slow corners makes this circuit one of the slowest on the calendar. Maximum downforce is required for fast cornering and with few overtaking opportunities, a good qualifying position is crucial. This race is a pleasure for the teams as they stay in the heart of the stunning and historic city of Budapest.

Jean Alesi on the Hungarian Grand Prix
'Hungary is not my favourite race on the calendar because the track is quite slow so you can't really feel the excitement of F1 there. Overtaking is almost impossible and with the heat and twisty nature of the circuit it can be a very physically demanding race. At least I now feel I have a car that is capable of being on the podium and that's a real boost for my motivation. l'll still have to find my feet in the team and get to know my new surroundings as well as a new car which will be a lot to do over a Grand Prix weekend, but I'm looking forward to it. Mind you, Jordan is not totally unknown to me as when I visited the factory a few days ago, I found several of the mechanics from my F3000 days were still there. On the canteen wall, there's a montage of photos of my 1989 car. It made me laugh because I'd written 'Goodbye' on it when I left the team but I thought of taking it down and adding, 'Hi guys, I'm back!'

Jarno Trulli on the Hungarian Grand Prix
'Hungary is always described as a ‘mickey mouse' track but I must say I like it. My driving style is well suited to it and I have usually been quite competitive here, even if I have not always had much luck during the races.'
