Sebastian Vettel is looking forward to returning to Budapest this weekend, the site of his second of three wins for Ferrari in 2015.
The German made a great start from the second row of the grid to win Ferrari's first Hungarian Grand Prix in 11 years.
"Budapest is a sweet memory from 2015, when we were able to win the race after a fantastic start," he said. "The track itself is quite short and often called 'The Monaco of racetracks', just lacking the walls, but you have a lot of corners, one big straight and after that a lot of corners, and not much time to rest in between."
Speaking of the demands of the track, Vettel said the circuit's nature, coupled with the hot summer temperatures will pose a challenge to drivers this weekend.
"It makes it quite tough and physically a big challenge for the drivers, because it’s quite hot and the track is bumpy," he said, "but I think overall it is a place where we love to go."
Former Ferrari team mate Esteban Gutierrez echoed the former Red Bull driver's sentiments, but added that "with any kind of conditions or track characteristics you just get used to it very quickly."
"Budapest is a track where the temperatures are usually very hot and the main characteristic of the tyre is that they get overheated very easily," said the Haas driver. “But I know the car and I am confident in driving the car."
