Approach information for the Hungarian Grand Prix

Components One’s tyre provider Pirelli expects motorists to go after a a person-end system in today’s Hungarian Grand Prix provided the Hungaroring’s restricted and twisty character which places overtaking at a top quality. F1Techncical’s Balázs Szabó analyses the system selections for the Budapest race.

Next final weekend’s French Grand Prix, the Milan-primarily based tyre enterprise has introduced the C2, C3 and C4 tyres for the next race weekend in a row.

The four.3km Hungaroring is bizarre keep track of as it is reminiscent of a road system even with getting a objective-developed race circuit. Thanks to this character, excellent mechanical grip and aerodynamic equilibrium are accented about the twisty format of the keep track of. There is barely any prolonged straights on the Hungaroring, the flowing sequences of gradual and medium-velocity corners deliver a authentic exam of automobile equilibrium and driver’s psychological energy. Thanks to the significant-quantity of corners, groups use the optimum concentrations of downforce witnessed all yr.

The keep track of is not a significantly significant-strength circuit, with sleek asphalt which is from time to time bumpy in sites, and the calls for on tyres getting far more about traction than braking.

Following a baking incredibly hot observe working day on Friday, circumstances were being great all through Saturday, but warmed up a little for the duration of the qualifying hour, with the session ending in 24 levels ambient and 33 levels of keep track of temperature. For tomorrow’s race, related circumstances are predicted, indicating that groups have to have to analyse the minimal day they could acquire all through the qualifying session.

Based mostly of Friday’s prolonged operate simulations, Pirelli estimates that the a person- and two-end system are virtually identically quickly – on paper. Nevertheless, groups are predicted to try for a one end provided the challenges of overtaking at the Hungaroring.

A a person-stopper could be tender to tricky, or medium to tricky with the next solution demanding a little bit much less administration about the opening stint. Pirelli thinks that most motorists will in all probability end only at the time, in buy to safeguard keep track of place.

Nevertheless, a two-stopper is also a excellent solution, really near to a a person-stopper in conditions of over-all time. The noticeable two-stopper would be tender-medium-medium, but tender-medium-tender is one more exciting solution – with the cars and trucks significantly lighter in the direction of the conclude of the race. With Lewis Hamilton profitable the 2019 race with an intense two-end system, it could existing a authentic option for the 7-time winner or reigning winner Max Verstappen provided their beginning positions.

Pirelli’s Motorsport Director Mario Isola commented: “Congratulations to George for his initially pole: he set with each other an excellent lap at particularly the appropriate minute to protected a P1 begin tomorrow.

„Today has not been quick with the transforming circumstances: even though it was dry for qualifying, tomorrow’s climate is continue to unsure, with great circumstances predicted once more. With the keep track of ‘reset’ as a end result of the before rain, we noticed a large amount of keep track of evolution for the duration of qualifying, which intended that placing a quickly lap at the final probable minute was important to obtaining a excellent time,” the Italian claimed.
