    Back on track…
    So, the Hungarian Grand Prix was the last one for a while.

    As the Hungaroring is probably the most technical of all current F1 circuits, it can say a lot about a driver's ultimate prowess. It is a circuit where a driver must quickly establish a rhythm and be pin-point accurate for every apex, whilst taking account of a car's evolution throughout a race.

    It requires a driver to progressively alter points for braking and turn-in, and requires great skill to be done consistently. Like any other circuit, it also requires a driver to be able to 'reset' close to the original points when new tyres replace old; but getting this right is both more challenging and more important at this type of circuit.

    Technical circuits are quite different to 'ballsy' circuits such as Spa (coming up next) where small driving errors are far less important.

    I thought Hungary wasn't a drivers circuit?

    Well that's what I get told by the media anyway when comparing them to Monaco, Spa, Suzuka etc...

    I will think you will find I was on track, I found it inappropriate to start a new thread. Better to add onto "the end of the first half of the season".

    Anyway I agree that Hungary is a track that requires flow and 100% concentration other tracks also follow this path.. Melbourne/Monaco (tight track/corner combinations), but on any track a small mistake is a mistake, and it costs. It doesn't matter whether the errors are small are not.

    Drivers should be prepared to be close to perfect on any track, especially this season. As well as this, making mistakes on larger-wider expanses of track is more of a concern.

    Yeah, I know what you're saying here, Silver.

    That's part of the reason I thought it would be worth sounding out the forum's opinion on Spa, recently
    http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/160241-Spa-Francorchamp-King-of-a-handful-of-tracks, which developed into a discussion of so-called driver's circuits. I found it interesting that Monaco was popularly considered such, since like Hungary, it is also a highly technical circuit!

    I suppose it depends upon one's definition of the term 'driver's circuit'. To me, it applies to those tracks which a driver finds most exhilarating. These are the circuits which give a driver a real buzz. But some drivers love technical circuits where they can show their tidiness and consistency; skill-sets which are offset at some tracks where sheer audacity and semi-suicidal daring can more than compensate for
    technical errors which would be more lap-time costly elsewhere.

    P.S. EMSC: I did not run your video. It gave the impression of being about Schumacher's performance up to this part of the season, which I am already aware of. In particular, I thought it did not appear directly related to the Hungarian Grand Prix, which is what this thread is supposed to be about; but if it is a video of his Hungary performance, I apologise for not bothering to watch it.

    Surely it's time to kill this thread for the sake of all?

    <laugh> I love Taken. Does this thread have a "very particular set of skills"?

    Well, as this thread refuses to be killed, I shall answer Cosi's point.

    The MSC video is in excess of 6 mintues long. It is therefore 5m50s too long for it to just show MSC's Hungary 'performance', unless it is accompanied by the theme tune from Benny Hill and the grid girls are shown to be walking off the grid at a faster frame rate than normal!

    No acknowledgement of my opinion on the topic of "driver tracks"?

    Just bees to the honey.

    I was going to make a comment along the lines of "Surely in that case any driver who put in a particularly poor performance would be even more worthy of criticism" but felt you'd had enough of a ribbing for one weekend. Now we can look ahead to Spa :)
