Romain Grosjean is looking forward to returning to the Hungaroring this weekend,a track where he has performed well at in the past.
In for previous starts at the Budapest venue, the Haas F1 Team driver has never failed to finish outside of the points, retiring once (in 2014), and taking a podium finish in his first race at the track in 2012.

"I’ve always had a good feeling in Hungary. I’ve always liked the track," said the Franco-Swiss driver. "They’ve resurfaced it this year, so we’ll see how it goes. It used to be very bumpy. It’s a low-speed circuit. How the car handles is important. I’ve been lucky to have had cars that have performed well there over the years."
"It’s very difficult to overtake at the Hungaroring. To be fair, I made one of the best overtakes of my life there in 2013, outside of turn four, on Felipe Massa. I got a drive-through penalty for that one for having four wheels off the track. That didn’t matter to me as it was one of my most beautiful overtaking moves ever."
Managing tyre's has been Haas' main weakness so far in their maiden Formula One campaign, and Grosjean believes that it will be the area they will have to work hardest on this weekend.
"It’s going to be our number one priority to get the tire to work for us and analyse the degradation, which can be high on some compounds," he said. "If we get the grip, we’ll get the lap time. Then we can do more pit stops and have more fun."
