View the Post on the BlogThe Hungarian Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until 2021, Bernie Ecclestone revealed prior to Sunday's race.
According to tourists, the Hungaroring is a more desirable location to visit than Hungary's capital, Budapest. Rightly so, Mogyoród has been on the F1 tour since 1986.
Only Monza and Monaco have been used for longer uninterrupted stints, yet Hungary has simply not been given the sort of attention that other circuits have been privy to.
The first grand prix behind the 'iron curtain' was held in memory of motorcyclist, János Drapál, at the newly constructed Hungaroring.
It was in the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix that Felipe Massa was struck on the head by a suspension spring thrown from Rubens Barrichello's Brawn during Q2. After being knocked out cold, the Brazilian crashed head on into a barrier at the end of a high speed straight.
