This weeks press conference

[tifosied]

"As the only Black driver in the history of Formula 1, Sir Lewis Hamilton was always aware of the lack of diversity across the motorsport industry. But this underrepresentation is not just limited to the driver pool, and also includes those who work in the garage and the engineers in the factories too." [...]

[...] "Following a ten month research period, which included initial data analysis, stakeholder mapping, a literature review in sport, education and employment, as well as primary quantitative and qualitative research with young people and in depth interviews with key stakeholders, The Hamilton Commission has published its report, Accelerating Change: Improving Representation of Black People in UK Motorsport."

2021 Season Grand Prix Circuits: Hungaroring in  Mogyoród, Hungary

Type: Closed Circuit

Event: Hungarian Grand Prix

Used Since: 1986

Number of Laps: 70

Circuit Length: 4.381 km

Race Distance: 306.63 km

Lap Record: 1:16.627 by Lewis Hamilton in 2020

Fun fact: In 1986 it became the location of the first Formula One Grand Prix behind the Iron Curtain.

Full track: we start tight right after the straight with a really closed off Turn 1, the best overtaking spot on the track. Brake hard into this right-hander which opens up on exit and leads into Turn 2, the first of the curves. Drivers with more grip can drive around the outside of their rivals if they get it right.Turn 3 is a sharp right kink, in normal conditions almost flat out Nigel Mansell (Turn 4) might give drivers a chance to build up speed, there is plenty of run-off area and it’s well used. Turn 5 is another curve where tyre life is key to maintain speed or risk being passed around the outside. Turn 6 and 7 are tight right-to-left chicane leading into sector 2. An overtaking spot if you judge to perfection, or a certain accident if you don’t. Jean Alesi (Turn 11) is one where drivers must dull the throttle and sweep through the right-hander, again using the kerb on exit but be cautious of going too wide into Turn 12, another harsh braking zone, where a good exit in the last corner sets you up for a possible overtake into this right turn. The tightest curve of the lap comes in Turn 13, if anyone gets close around the outside then defending is tricky. Finally, Turn 14 - A long right bend before the main straight, any understeer leaves you in big danger from those close behind on the run back down to Turn 1.
