Home / Motor Racing / Hungarian Grand Prix
The Hungarian Grand Prix is staged at Hungaroring on a track which was built in 1986 and is one of the best attended race sin the calendar with it being the only race in eastern Europe.
The race which is held outside of Budapest was won in 2009 by Lewis Hamilton and he and the McLaren team will be looking forward to heading back to Hungary as it is a race that they have traditionally enjoyed. Hamilton's team mate and World Champion Jenson Button will also be in with a good shout here as he looks to defend his crown.
In the 1980s there was a desire for a Grand Prix to be held behind the Iron Curtain and negotiations took place with the Soviet Union with a view to a race being held in Moscow.
In the summer of 1983 however, the attention of the Formula 1 decision makers turned away from Moscow and towards Budapest in Hungary, whose national sporting authority was keen to put the country back on the map of global motor sport.
As the track is tight it might be worthwhile considering a wager on the Hungarian Grand Prix betting outright winner for the driver who heads the top pole position. The track is tight, there are 70 laps with a circuit length of 4.381km and a race distance of 306.663km.
The circuit has been known to throw up some great races and superb sports betting, the most memorable being Thierry Boutsen's win in 1990, beating Ayrton Senna by 0.3 seconds, and the 1997 race where Damon Hill in the Arrows sensationally passed Michael Schumacher's Ferrari only to be denied the win by mechanical failure on the very last lap.
