The Talent Zone: Again, I’d say the Becketts complex, especially taking into account the wind which can make it very tricky.
Most wins: Lewis Hamilton, 7 (2008, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020)
11 Hungaroring, Hungarian GP (Aug 1)
Character: A very challenging circuit and the drivers need a good rhythm to get a good lap time.
Set-up strategy: You need a car that gives you a good positive change in direction for the middle sector. Having lots of downforce is very helpful.
Best overtaking spot: Turn 1, but we’ve also seen moves into Turn 2.
Key corner for a quick lap: All of the middle sector, from Turn 4 to 9. It’s all one corner into another.
The Talent Zone: Also Turn 4 to Turn 9.
Most wins: Lewis Hamilton, 8 (2007, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020)
12 Spa-Francorchamps, Belgian GP (Aug 29)
Character: The unpredictable weather is the biggest challenge. With the level of drag these cars have, getting the set-up compromise right is massively important.
Set-up strategy: You need straight-line speed in the first and third sectors and good cornering speed in the middle. That’s the compromise.
Best overtaking spot: Les Combes at the end of the Kemmel Straight, and the Bus Stop at the end of the lap.
Key corner for a quick lap: I think the La Source hairpin is really important. Getting a good exit down the hill to Eau Rouge makes a big difference.
The Talent Zone: Guessing the weather!
Most wins: Michael Schumacher, 6 (1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2002)
