Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungarian GP Preview

Message Board

Hungary's link to grand prix motor racing can be traced back to the very first event to be designated grand prix status. The 1906 French GP held at Le Mans was won by Hungarian Ferenc Szisz, driving a Renault. It was to be his sole grand prix success but Szisz will forever be ingrained in grand prix motor racing folklore.

The first grand prix to be held in Hungary was organized in 1936. The event ran around the Népliget park in Budapest and attracted the likes of Auto Union (now Audi), Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz. Legendary Italian driver Tazio Nuvolari triumphed that day but grand prix motor racing disappeared from Hungary for the next five decades due to the political situation in the region.

The Hungarian GP made its first appearance on the Formula 1 calendar in 1986 when it became clear a race in Moscow wasn't going to happen. This was the first occasion Formula 1 held an event behind the Iron Curtain. The Hungaroring circuit 11 mi (18 km) from Budapest has hosted every edition of the Hungarian GP since the inaugural race in 1986.

Round 11 of the 2012 Formula 1 season takes place at the Hungaroring on Sunday, July 29th before the compulsory shutdown in August. Fernando Alonso is almost certain to lead the drivers' championship going into the summer break after increasing his advantage at the top of the standings with victory at the German GP last time out. The Ferrari driver now leads Mark Webber, who could only finish eighth at Hockenheim, by 24 points, with 25 points up for grabs for a win this weekend in Hungary.

Remember to make your game picks in the 2012 Fantasy Formula 1 thread before the deadline of Saturday, July 28th at 7:55 AM ET, five minutes before qualifying begins. Here we run down some Hungarian GP facts and season stats.
