The third set of the 2010 season's back-to-back races continues this weekend in Budapest with the Hungarian Grand Prix just one week after the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim. Taking place at the Hungaroring, located 19kms from the capital, the circuit has hosted the race since 1986 and is one of the most technically demanding on the calendar.
For the Mercedes Grand prix team, the upcoming event will be the conclusion to an extremely busy period following two of their home races taking place this month at Silverstone and Hockenheim. The last race weekend in Germany was challenging for them, particularly following the podium finish at Silverstone, and they were disappointed not to be competing further up the field.
However, they are doing a good job operationally but need to find more pace from the car, something Michael Schumacher is hoping to do this weekend after a rather disappointing home race....
“The German Grand Prix last weekend was clearly disappointing for us but we have seen a variety of performances from our team over the past few races,” he said. “With this in mind, I will still go to Hungary with a positive
feeling. It is clear that we need to understand our car better, and the track in Budapest plus more time to evaluate our upgrades should help us in that respect.”
“As I said after the last race, we have to remain calm, look into all the details and analyse our performance in order to learn as much as possible from such weekends. That is the way we have to go in order to improve our situation which may already be possible this coming weekend in Hungary." |
