Since the introduction of the V6 turbo engines in 2014 Mercedes has won a Grand Prix at every circuit on the Formula One calendar, except the Hungaroring.
However, despite taking two pole positions at the track, but Mercedes technical director Paddy Lowe is frustrated that they have not been able to capitalise on their qualifying performances.

"It's the only race we haven't won in the V6 Hybrid Formula One era and the Hungaroring is a tough venue to crack, with only 13 of the 30 Grands Prix to be held at this circuit having been won by the pole sitter - despite it being one of the toughest tracks on the calendar for overtaking," he told F1i.com.
"It's tough on both cars and drivers, with ambient temperatures often reaching well into the 30 degrees Celsius," he added. "The layout is low-speed, so we will run as much downforce as possible - similar to Monaco."
"With the supersoft compound available - a tyre one step softer than the softest compound allocated last year - we expect to see some very quick qualifying times."
