Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix 2019 What to Watch
This weekend, Formula 1 travels to the Hungaroring for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the last race before the summer vacation.
Following the thrilling race at the Hockenheimring, where Max Verstappen secured his second victory of the season as both Mercedes drivers suffered, the season's 12th round takes place.
The seven drivers hoping to make a comeback after retiring last time out include Valtteri Bottas, Pierre Gasly, and both Renault drivers.
With teammate Bottas falling down the order as Ferrari discovered a better tire strategy, Lewis Hamilton began the race in pole position and never faced any threats.
After pitting ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel, Bottas maintained his lead, but both drivers were able to easily pass the Mercedes before the race was over thanks to new tires.
When Daniel Ricciardo, who started the race in 12th place, caught up to the Finn, he fell even more. The Mercedes driver was given a 10-second time penalty after the two collided as the Australian attempted to pass Bottas for fourth.
Haas achieved just their second double points finish of the season, while Toro Rosso had one of their better finishes of the year as Pierre Gasly finished sixth.
After former chairman Sergio Marchionne passed away before the race, the Ferrari team wore block armbands all weekend.
The 14-turn, 4.381-kilometer Hungaroring was built in under eight months in 1985.
Since 2003, the track has been used in Formula One, and in 2004, Michael Schumacher established the race lap record of 1:19.071.
However, a few minor adjustments have been made in advance of this year's race, such as the installation of a domed kerb behind the current kerb at turn five's exit.
Lewis Hamilton and the two Red Bull drivers will have the most medium compound tires of any driver.
Given that Renault and Toro Rosso each have ten sets of the C4 Pirelli rubber, Ferrari will have an extra set of softs in comparison to the other front-runners.
The majority of drivers last year were able to finish the race distance with only one pit stop, while Raikkonen used a two-stop strategy to earn a podium position. Few drivers chose to wear the mediums, the strongest tires available in Hungary in 2018, and instead favored the two softest compounds.
In Hungary, it's hard to discern form. Four previous winners are on the grid this year, while there have been six different winners in the previous eleven years. Mercedes has won three of the last six visits to the track, while McLaren has won 11 of them, making them the most successful team here.
With one car in the top six for the previous four races and Carlos Sainz's fifth-place finish last time out providing the team with their best performance of the season thus far, McLaren does enter this race on a high note.
Daniil Kvyat earned his first podium in Hungary in 2015, and four drivers have won their debut Formula One races here.
Max Verstappen enters this race in excellent form, having finished in the top five at every race this season and winning two of the previous three Grands Prix. The Dutchman retired early last year due to an engine failure, although he has never placed on the podium in Hungary.
In contrast, Kimi Raikkonen has a stellar record at the Hungaroring, having finished on the podium nine times in 16 appearances, although only winning one race.
