THE CORNERS DO NOT GIVE YOU A BREAK.
HUNGARORINGHungaroring
A good lap here is a rhythm, not a collection of heroic moments. The next corner always seems to arrive before the last is finished.

Where the lap is won. And lost.
THE OPENING STRAIGHT
Take the opportunity.
There are few long straights to rely on. The opening part of the lap offers a rare change of tempo.
THE LINKED CORNERS
Keep it flowing.
The repeated direction changes reward a well-sorted chassis. Losing the rhythm costs more than one corner.
THE FINAL SECTION
Set up the next lap.
The corners keep coming right to the end. A tidy finish matters before the main straight begins again.
Budapest, on your clock.
