The Formula 1 season continues this weekend in Budapest. It is sure to be a tough weekend for everyone in F1 following the death of Jules Bianchi, but the racing must go on in his honour, and McLaren's Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso are excited by the challenges of the Hungaroring.
Speaking of the weekend ahead, Jenson said “I really enjoy racing at the Hungaroring. It’s a tight and twisty racetrack – a bit like a kart circuit – and the heat can make it tough physically, which is a challenge that I enjoy. I won my first race here; I’ll forever associate the place with getting me on the winners’ map.”
His teammate Fernando Alonso said “The car ran reliably at Silverstone, which was encouraging, and we go to Hungary hoping to add more performance. We will continue to chip away at our package until we achieve our goals. As for the Hungaroring, it holds good memories for me; it’s also a good challenge.”
It has been a tough season so far for the resurrected McLaren-Honda partnership, but things are hopefully on the up for the Woking-based outfit.
