After the huge crowds at Silverstone attracting more than 480,000 spectators over the weekend, Formula 1 travels to Eastern Europe for the Hungaroring event. According to Brembo engineers, it is a track with a medium level of difficulty for brakes. On a scale of 1 to 5, it is rated 3 on the difficulty index.
The twisting circuit and rare opportunities for overtaking, not to mention switchback corners more like a huge go-kart track, recall the Monte Carlo GP without the walls. Getting a good place on the starting grid is absolutely vital. The lack of long straight sections is a major limit as regards brake cooling.
