Driver quotes (F1.com):
Fernando Alonso
“On paper, the Hungaroring presents one of the best opportunities for us this year. The short, twisty circuit means we are less reliant on outright power, and the drivers have to really depend on the capabilities of the chassis to get the best out of the lap.”
Daniel Ricciardo
“Hungary 2014 was a cool victory. Of course I love winning but that was an awesome race. In order to win I had to pass Hamilton and Alonso, pretty much the best two so that was cool.
“I love that track and it has always been a good one for me. I’ve had some great weekends there even before Formula One.”
Kevin Magnussen
“As at any other circuit, it’s going to be faster than last year. On a slow circuit like Hungary, the difference to last year will be smaller than some of the faster circuits like Silverstone, where the difference was very big. It changes your brake points. Certain corners are flat that weren’t flat last year. It’s a different way of driving.”
