![]() ![]() I enjoy Hungary as a track and let’s hope there is a little less action on the way to the grid as the mechanics worked some sort of miracle to get my car out for the race last year! The Team can take care of the official side of things and anything that needs looking into after the crash but my job is the same as always - to be the best I can and try to win on Sunday. I know what happened at Silverstone as I was in the car and obviously I feel a certain way about how my race ended but now I’m just focusing on making sure we are the best we can be on track so we can stay ahead in the championship. I’m definitely ready to go again! I don’t have much to say on all the media hype and to be honest I am not interested in getting involved in any of that. I did a 24hr sim race this week and it was a good test to see how my body would react to spending time sat in one position and behind screens for a long time, I felt absolutely fine which makes me feel positive heading into the weekend. I’m a little bruised of course but that’s normal after such a big impact but I’m training and feeling good. I’m happy to get back on track in Hungary this weekend, especially after the last race result. We very much want to finish the first half of the year before summer shutdown with a good race result for all four of our drivers and we have been working hard since Silverstone to prepare for that. We are well used to it being very hot here and combined with the fact that car runs at relatively low speeds, it’s a feature of this event that cooling is an important factor that we have to consider, when optimising our settings. It’s a very different, much slower and technical type of circuit with just one short straight and many slow corners, making overtaking difficult so that qualifying position is very important. After four races at relatively high-speed tracks in France, Austria and England, we now come to the Hungaroring. We now move on to Hungary which marks the mid-point of the season. The first ever Sprint Qualifying was an interesting experiment, but generally it was a difficult weekend for both Honda teams. ![]() The last round at Silverstone was very disappointing, especially with Max going out on the opening lap after a collision and overall, it was Honda’s worst race of the year so far from the point of view of points scored.
