CLARK AND NASIR ARE ACCUSTOMED TO COMPLETE MERCEDES DOMINATION AND SADLY ARE NOT STUNNED BY OUR FRIENDS AT FERRARI! MOTORSPORTS MONDIAL WILL CHEER YOU UP AND HERE IS PEREZ ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON THE NEXT GRAND PRIX…

SERGIO PEREZ:

Q: How much do you enjoy racing in Hungary?

SP: “I like the layout of the lap – but I’ve never had much luck there. It’s tight, twisty and usually makes for an interesting race, with the first sector giving us some overtaking opportunities. To throw it up the inside into Turn 1, you need to be really confident on the brakes. With a big run-off area, drivers are willing to take more risks there.”

Q: What’s the key to a great lap at the Hungaroring?

SP: “We call it a technical track because it’s not easy to hook up a clean lap. It’s always dirty off-line and any mistakes in the low and medium speed corners are costly. Keeping your momentum is everything – more than at most other tracks.”

Q: What’s your top racing memory from Hungary?

SP: “I would say it was in 2013, racing with McLaren. It was a difficult car and not really a Q3 contender in Hungary – but I was able to put together a really strong lap to make it into Q3, qualifying ninth. And I then scored points in the race to complete a good weekend.”
