After a dramatic double-header at the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix and Styrian Gr꧅and Prix, Formula 1 heads to the tight and twisty Hungaroring which plays host to this weekend's ꧙Hungarian Grand Prix.

Mercedes stormed to two dominant victories in the opening rounds of 2020, a win each for Valtt🃏eri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton. 

Unfortunately for its 💫rivals, this year's Mercedes appears to have no flaws with it excelling in all types of corners meaning it is the favourite to take the victory this weekend.

 

 

Dubbed 'Monaco without the barriers', the Hungaroring has historically suited Red Bull, but Max Verstappen was coy on his chances going into the weekend by saying he 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:doesn't believe Mercedes will have any 'bogey' circui🧸ts this season. 

What happened last time out?

Round two of the 2020 season was dominated by Hamiltonꦏ after the Brit stormed to one of the best pole positions of his illustrious F1 career - ending qualifying f⛎or the Styrian GP 1.2s clear of the rest of the field.

Hamilton converted it into an 89th career victory, with team-mate Bottas joining him on the podium to make it Mercedes' fi𓃲rst 💎1-2 finish of the season. 

Verstappen finished third, having been overtaken by Bottas in the cl♈osing laps with Red Bull team-mate Albon coming ꦰhome in fourth.

The race had a plethora of midfield action with Lando Norris overtaking Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and Daniel Ricciardo in the closing stages to finish an impressive fifth - maintaining third in the driversꦬ' championship.

Pe൲rez, Stroll,ꦦ Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat rounded out of the top ten.

What to expect from this weekend?

Expect Mercedes to be the team to beat once 🐻again but the lack of straights should put💝 Red Bull closer to the front. 

Ferrari will be eying a more competitive weekend after both cars failed to make the cheq༒uered flag at the Styria𒉰n Grand Prix.

Pirelli has nominated the C2, C3 and C4 tyres for this weekend - t🦋he same as in the first two rounds.

Wet weather is threatening to disrupt this🦩 weekend with there being a c𒁏hance of showers on each of the three days.
