The Honda Racing F1 Team heads east to Hungary this week for the second of the back-to-back races following the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim on Sunday.

This weekend's race, the Hungarian Grand Prix held just outside the stunning city of Budapest, will be Round 13 of the 2006 FIA Formula One World Championship and the final race before the three week summer break.

Encouraged by a strong performance from Jenson Button in the German Grand Prix which saw him finish in fourth position, the Honda Racing F1 Team will be hoping to carry a more positive showing in Hockenheim through to the race at the Hungaroring.

"After a positive weekend in Germany, we now head to Budapest where we hope to achieve another strong result. The Hungaroring is a very tight and twisty track with many slow corners, requiring good traction and braking stability. It is also likely to be another extremely hot weekend which suits our car but is quite demanding for the drivers."
