From one of the most boring races on the calendar this has become one of the highlights of the season. One of the few tracks with a bit of grass around the edges and usually an exciting race with spectacular overtakes.

Random Fact: First time in the 30 year history of the Hungarian GP that it does not follow a German race

that nice chain of events has been broken sadly
we used to have Silverstone - France - Germany - Hungary - Belgium - Italy

Corrected

yeah, wasn't sure upon typing if the first two were in correct order. Thanks.

amazing, didn't know Silverstone is a country.

Came across my mind yesterday. Same goes for Barcelona.

I like Hungary, it is often somewhat unpredictable.

great to see a track where it is easy to see what is the track and the part that is supposed to be off-track.

Yeah track limits are clearly defined

Te last few races have been pretty good here. But its one of those that can have a classic (2006) or an absolute snoozefest (2004). Always hit and miss here.

Everybody always goes to 2006 when talking about a good Hungarian GP but that's only because of the mixed conditions, the incidents throughout the race and the safety car bunching things up. It was a great and memorable race. However 1989 is the finest example of a good Hungarian GP. It was dry, the field was close and there was some great overtaking maneuvers. It didn't need mixed conditions, incidents and SCs to spice up the racing.

And as for terrible Hungarian GPs, I point you in the direction of 1993 and 1994, perhaps even 1995. Almost nothing happened. 2004 is probably the ultimate in shittiness, but it has some good competition.

what a year 1989 was. Too many cars to actually allow them all on the grid, resulting in Friday early morning pre-qualifying. Beasts are screamers of cars and a season long fight for the title, with wins not always just coming from the dominant team.

1990 was funny too here.

If the 1990 incidents of Senna and Berger bumping Nannini and Mansell at the chicane happened today, what would their penalties be?

5 sec longer pit stop

one dramatic race was 1997, the closest that an Arrows was to win

one of those heart breaking moments.

Massa was close to victory in 2008 after completely dominating from 3rd on the grid. Car gave up with 3 to give if I remember well.

Hungaroring is followed by Spa, but funny thing is that the former has lately offered much better races that the latter track. Anyway, I still don't find Hungaroring that great a track. 2004 is still probably the most dullest GP ever by all standards. Also the lack of gravel traps (there were only 2 left last year) makes the track quite tiresome.
Still, compared to Tilkedromes it has quite unique design and definitely more soul that newer tracks.
