During the press conference, Raikkonen termed the race 'boring' and 'you finish where you started' - given it's almost impossible to overtake around the Hungaroring, should it be dropped from the calendar?

Nope. I just think that the aero-packages should be simplified, and developed to make it easier for cars to follow.

I've a solution to do exciting race in Hugary : to get the track wet before the race ! It could give a spectacular race, such as the last year.

More seriously, even if the aero-packages were simplified, I don't think that the Hungarian Grand Prix would be more interesting. It's like Monaco, it's almost impossible to overtake your opponents. But Hungary has not the same prestige as Monaco, and I don't think that dropping Hungary from the calendar would have great economic consequences for the constructors. Moreover, I don't think that the drivers love this track, and therefore, they wouldn't miss it if it were dropped form the calendar.

It's always been a problem at Hungary, even in the Turbo era when it was first introduced.

RS loves the Hungaroring - tells you somtin'

[7UpJordan]

It's the only track he's good at which isn't saying much.

[darwin dali]

Exakt-ly!

I wouldn't even give it credit by saying it's like Monaco, but with less prestige. It's nowhere near as difficult as Monaco, where it's one mistake and you hit a barrier. People watching from the stands at the track seem to enjoy it and it does have an international feel to it. Further, it's the only Grand Prix in eastern Europe and I think it's important to have a variety of circuits, slow ones, medium speed ones and fast ones so the cars have to be more flexible and test their strengths and weaknesses.

Drop Hungary?? are you kidding. Its my only excuse to the wfe to travel to Budapest, take in the race and oh ya, the Eastern Europe strip clubs

[darwin dali]

It should be replaced by the Moscow GP.

tracks like hungary should be dropped if there is only 1 place where an overtake can happen.
