Description, History, Facts and
Figures
|
Hungarians do not feature heavily in the
roll-call of Formula One drivers. In fact the
only one we can trace was Ferenc Szisz, who is
credited with winning the first ever French
Grand Prix, held at Le Mans in 1906. Unable to
pronounce his name, the French referred to him
as "Francois," a handle he acquired in
his role as a travelling mechanic to the founder
of Renault. Indeed, it was at the wheel of one
of the very first machines to bear the name that
he scored his one and only win.
The car was an awesome beast, weighing at one
thousand kilos, sporting wooden wheels and a
massive 13,000 cc vertical four configuration
engine!
The inaugural Hungarian GP was a pre-war event
won by the legendary Tazio Nuvolari at the wheel
of a Ferrari-entered Alfa Romeo. The first grand
prix to be held in Budapest since the inception
of the F1 World Championship was the 1986 event
and it had the honour of being the first ever
race to be held behind what was then considered
the Iron Curtain. In front of a record 200,000
crowd it was won by Nelson Piquet. The event was
an immediate hit with the F1 folk, as the
wealthy Westerners could live like princes,
dining on caviar and champagne for a handful of
florints. The collapse of Communism means those
days are gone, but the beauty of Budapest
remains, with its churches, palaces and vast
squares a permanent reminder of the glory days
of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. When
Damon Hill won here in 1993, not only was it his
maiden grand prix victory it was also the first
ever F1 win for a child of a former grand prix
driver. Hill was also the first son of a famous
father to win the Championship.
There was a strange smell that greeted the F1
circus when it first arrived in 1986. The
Hungaroring was constructed on the sight of a
former potato field and what was left of the
mouldy potatoes gave it a highly distinctive
whiff.
At 2.465 miles (3.968kms) the Hungaroring is the
second shortest of the current circuits (after
Monaco) and the first race there was stopped
after two hours, so slow was the average speed.
Only four teams have won at the Hungaroring.
Williams is the most successful team with seven
wins, two of which have been one-twos. McLaren
have won four times with a similar number of
one-twos and Ferrari have won just twice. The
other win was taken by Benetton.
The late Ayrton Senna still rates as the most
successful driver at the Hungaroring with three
wins, while West McLaren Mercedes driver Mika
Hakkinen was banned from racing there in 1994
after being deemed to have caused a first corner
accident at that year's German Grand Prix. |
