Kevin Magnussen is hoping for a strong weekend after a tough race last time out at Silverstone.
The Dane was classified 17th at the British Grand Prix, but like team mate Jolyon Palmer, his race came to a premature end due to gearbox problems.
"Last race’s result was certainly not what we’d hoped for so we’ll be working as hard as possible in Hungary with hopefully some learnings from the test that took place at Silverstone last week," he said. "It’s another race to look forward to and hopefully another race where we can push as hard as possible and hope for points."
Hungary's tight nature means that a premium is placed on qualifying, but Magnussen is confident of a good performance during the race regardless.
"Yes you can overtake – turn one being the obvious example – but it’s not easy so qualifying position is a bit more important than at other places," he said. "It’s certainly a twisty track and it’s a little bit difficult to overtake there but it’s possible to have a good race there. I’ve had strong performances there in the past so I hope that will help this weekend."
In what has been a trying year on Renault's return as a full works team, Magnussen has so far scored every point for the team, a seventh place finish at Russia being their only top 10 finish so far.
