Message Board

Despite the fact that Hungary didn't appear on the Formula 1 calendar until 1986, the country has a unique link to the first ever race to be recognized as a Grand Prix. That inaugural event was the 1906 French GP, held on roads outside of Le Mans and the winner at the end of the marathon two days was the Hungarian Ferenc Szisz. It was to be his only Grand Prix success but Szisz will forever be enshrined in motor racing folklore.

Hungary first staged a Grand Prix in 1936. The event ran around the Népliget Park in Budapest and the Italian legend Tazio Nuvolari triumphed on the street circuit. However, the event promptly disappeared and it didn't return for five decades due to the region's political situation.

Bernie Ecclestone had ambitions to take Formula 1 to the Soviet Union, but it became apparent a race in Moscow was not forthcoming and so a deal was brokered to hold an event in Hungary. When the Hungarian GP became a fixture on the 1986 calendar, it was to be the first time Formula 1 would take place behind the Iron Curtain.

The Hungaroring hosted the ground-breaking 1986 event and it's remained as the race's venue ever since. Overtaking is at a premium on the twisty and dusty track, but Nigel Mansell won from 12th on the grid in 1989 and Jenson Button secured his maiden victory in mixed conditions in 2006 having begun in 14th.

With the summer break approaching, the 2014 Formula 1 season hits the twisty Hungaroring near Budapest for round 11 on Sunday, July 27th. Nico Rosberg is in a good position to lead the championship heading into the break after a comfortable win in Germany. His closest rival Lewis Hamilton had to battle through the field after a disatrous qualifying session, eventually coming home third behind the in-form Valtteri Bottas.

Twelve months ago, Lewis Hamilton grabbed pole position and he led the race ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Romain Grosjean until the first round of stops. As he exited the pits, Hamilton swiftly overtook Jenson Button, a move which would prove crucial. Vettel wasn't so efficient after his first stop and he got stuck behind Button for several laps. This gave Hamilton the advantage and he consolidated it by pulling off a great overtake on Mark Webber after his final stop. The Mercedes driver took the checkered flag ahead of Kimi Räikkönen and a frustrated Vettel.

Remember to make your game picks in the 2014 Fantasy Formula 1 thread before the deadline of Saturday, July 26th at 8 AM ET, when qualifying begins. Here we run down some Hungarian GP facts and season stats.
