Select flag for Mark's preview
28 Jul 2013 Budapest, Hungaroring
The last corner’s very good; it goes on for a long time and the drivers have to get the power down well before the exit. The top chicane is also good. It’s narrow, so you have to be precise with your line.
Turn 5: a long uphill right-hander. Very tricky from apex to exit due to a couple of significant bumps and the track falls away at the exit, which induces oversteer.
Turn 8: a really important corner, which sets you up for the section that brings you back towards the pits and the paddock. It’s narrow and fourth gear, so accuracy is vital.
Turn 14 (last corner): a very challenging corner from apex-to-exit because it’s bumpy.

AS A MATTER OF FACT…
- Mark finished eighth in Hungary last year, meaning he entered the summer break lying second in the world championship.
- Mark’s first points’ finish at the Hungaroring came in 2003, when he finished sixth for Jaguar.
- In 2009 he finished third; in 2010 he won the race ahead of Fernando Alonso and in 2011 he came fifth after a mid-race pitstop for intermediate tyres hampered his strategy.
- The Hungaroring is the only racetrack in the world to have a water park within its confines. Many GP2 drivers have been spotted on the slides, but Mark has yet to don his swimming trunks. Perhaps this year?
- Zsolt Baumgartner, a former rival of Mark’s in Formula 3000, is the only Hungarian to have raced in Formula One. He drove for Jordan in 2003 and Minardi in ’04.

Hi Mark. Since I know f1 drivers had to be under 6′ tall, you are my favorite. Keep mind cold, push them as hard as you can, find you chance and let them behind. I know you can. Lets get it.

Unlucky Mark, i don’t know but you seem to be the teams test pig. It wouldn’t surprise me if they forced you to go on inters just to see if it’s worth Vettel to do the same.
I’m really sick and tired of the politics in RB and especially F1 itself. Something has to be done about it, drivers really need to stand up for themselves and their rights as drivers. F1 has rules, drivers are scared to speak because of team orders. Teams have 2 drivers, if potentially both drivers have the skill to win the championship why wouldn’t they back both drivers up? they then have double the chance of winning. They need to stop the politics and stupidity and go back to the good old days of what “car racing” actually means. I hope you don’t sign another contract with these clowns, go somewhere you will be treated better. Montoya spoke his mind, the team hated it. So he went to Nascar racing were driving in circles is apparently amusing, such a wasted talent. F1 will be losing more talents if they don’t pick up the game.
They have lost Kimi, Montoya, Ralf and Mika (retired my a$$) and I could see more going.
A lot has changed in F1, and the majority of it isn’t really for the better. The sooner they realise it the better.
Oh and excuses for reducing engine capacity… they are getting to fast so we have to make them slower. get f%#@ed, bring back the turbo cars with 1500HP+!!

Hi Mark, I wish you a perfect race weekend (as you said above), a good downforce level, even with the changed engine mapping, an odd start number, preferred number one, an podium finish, preferred the highest, and a fantastic swim, preferred na****
