Hungarian GP: Williams Racing Grand Prix Preview
By Williams Racing
July 18 2024
Coming off the points result from the British GP at Silverstone the Williams Racing Team now is at the Hungaroring for the 2024 Hungarian GP. Based on previous races the team has always found the Hungarian circuit a challenge and given the fact that Pirelli is bringing their softest range of tyres it again may be a difficult event. But despite this both Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant are excited to be in Hungary and build of their good performances in Silverstone.

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director
Budapest is a great place to come to and the Hungaroring is a circuit
loved by many drivers. This weekend we'll use the soft range of tyres,
and with track temperatures being very high, tyre management will be key
to good results in the race. It’s a track that we tend to struggle with
as a team, but we’ve brought some good learnings from Barcelona, so we
hope make progress in the right direction this weekend.

Logan Sargeant:
I’m excited to be back in Hungary this week! It’s a fun track to drive
with twisty corners and a fast, flowing second sector that makes it
super satisfying when you put it all together. We’ll be aiming to build
on the good momentum from Silverstone to get a positive result on
Sunday.
Alex Albon:
As we head to Hungary, The Hungaroring circuit is a track that I’ve
always loved to drive and it’s always great seeing how passionate the
fans are in Budapest. Coming off the back of a strong weekend in
Silverstone but a more challenging triple header, we’ll take the
learnings we’ve gathered over the past weeks and try to apply these in
Hungary. Traditionally it’s a track that doesn’t suit our car very well
and with the hot temperatures, we’ll have to take opportunities where we
can.
