way of previous knowledge about the history of the Hungarian Grand Prix, a must for the F1 in eastern Europe.
After
several attempts in the early 30's by the Hungarian government to have a Grand Prix in their country, finally took and held the first and only GP in Hungary before the Second War Mundial.El chosen circuit was built in the Park Népliget in the capital, Budapest and was held on June 21, 1936.
had a length of 4.898 km 20 curves and ran anti-clockwise.
Contrary to what we discussed last week's Hockenheimring in this circuit was not important engine power but the handling of the car.
Thus in this race broke the dominance of Mercedes and Auto-Union and its Nuvolari Alfa Romeo 8C-35 won the race. He also set the fastest lap that was 3m35.6, with an average speed of 83.49 km / h.
The estimated audience was over 100,000 personasEsta race was another remarkable fact, she enrolled in a woman, Miss Eileen Ellison with a Maserati, was ultimately unable to exit, but it was a pilot too important at the time that did manage to run in the South African GP 1936.
Then came World War II, Hungary fell behind the Iron Curtain, in the history books did not know what happened at that time in those countries ... but there was a thing called the "Warsaw Pact"
And Bernie Ecclestone appears in history ... you miss half of Europe of their plans, so that in the first 80 began to take steps to have GP "Communist." He wanted in the USSR, but first to Brezhnev (d. 1982) and its successors Andropov and Chernenko shooting, there was nothing to do, so following the advice of a Hungarian friend, began talks with the government of that country.
At first we studied the possibility of returning to Népliget and have another street circuit like Monaco, but in the end it was to the conclusion that it was better to build a new circuit and so in 1985 construction began on the Hungaroring (Mogyoród), which was finished in only 8 months ... less time the circuit has been built.
Thus the March 24, 1986 was held on Grand Prix of Hungary, 50 years after the last, and the only behind the "Iron Curtain" with 200,000 people in the stands.
still attracts a large number of spectators and that given its geographical location is very convenient for fans of the surrounding countries, Germany, Austria and Poland by Kubica recently as curiosity, there is always a large number of Finns ... we'll see this year without Kimi.
Since its birth has not greatly changed, in 2003, lengthening the home straight and adjust the curve 1 being symmetrical to the entrance to the home straight.
This change was motivated by an attempt to increase overtaking opportunities because they do not usually see a lot of overtaking and for example in 1990, Thierry Boutsen was able to retain all behind her career to slow Williams Ayton Senna and his McLaren-Honda.
During its construction plans to make it less sluggish with the addition of some fast corners were thwarted because of a spring underground prevented it.
The circuit is in a central European region characterized by hot dry summers so races are held usually dry, being the only GP in the last rain of 2006 and that gave us unforgettable moments.
Given the nature of the circuit, narrow, twisty and quite dirty races usually quite processional and therefore the best way to gain positions in the strategies she used to be stops. Let's see now that there is no refueling happens ... A good example was in 1998 when Ferrari (Ross Brawn) changed the strategy to be followed by Michael Schumacher of 2 to 3 stops mid-race, I just needed enough to open a gap in 20 laps to go first. They succeeded and won the race Schumi.
Two drivers were proclaimed World Champions in the Hugaroring in its 20 year history, the first was Nigel Mansell in 1992 and the second Michael Schumacher in 2001. Furthermore the Williams-Renault team also champion here in the year 1996.The 2 pilots "local" Zsolt Baumgartner, Hungary, and Poland's Robert Kubica made their debut at this track.
Many drivers like Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso have said they love the circuit and is one of your favorites or your favorite, while others complain it is too slow, hot and demanding.
in 2009 confirmed that the Hungaroring continue to hold the GP of Hungary until 2016.
