Someone had to make that pun, didn't they? I'm glad I did it
first. Yes, this weekend is the Hungarian GP and the proper start
to the second half of the season. Hungary has always been derided
as a bit of a rubbish place to go racing, but secretly I quite like
it. It's got a reputation for throwing up a bit of an unusual
result - Alonso's first win in 2003, Button's first win in 2006,
Kovalainen's first win in 2008 and Hamilton's win in 2009 despite
the McLaren at the time having the aerodynamic properties of a
small van. Our race preview will be out tomorrow, and we'll have
live coverage as usual at the following times.
Our build-up to qualifying begins at 12.30, with live commentary
from 13.00. The same applies on Sunday - the excitement begins at
12.30, with the lights going out at 13.00. Those times are BST
(UK), so make sure you work out their relevance to wherever you
might be.
We've got a few members of the team on holiday at the moment, so
please forgive us if you spot anything different, which hopefully
you won't. Speaking of which, a few days after the Hungarian GP
we'll be taking advantage of F1′s summer break and taking one of
our own. We'll still be updating both our Twitter and F1Lite.com
regularly, but might be a little slower to do so. It won't last too
long, so please stick with us.
Finally, I've been told to ask if you have any suggestions for
this section of the website. It's not that we've created it with no
ideas in hand (we plan to use it for competitions, special
features, surveys and better insights once the season gets underway
again), but if there's anything else you'd like - pictures from the
heart of F1Lite HQ even - don't hesitate to ask.
See you in Hungary!
