The Formula 1 train next stops at the Hungaroring which has thrown up a number of spicy races in recent years. Despite Mercedes' dominance in the hybrid era, it has only won in Budapest once - with Lewis Hamilton taking top honours in 2016.
This time around, Renault is bringing a major floor update which will run on both cars. At the British Grand Prix, Hulkenberg ran with it and secured a fantastic sixth place result, matching his best of the season. Teammate Jolyon Palmer will also be equipped with it for this upcoming weekend.
Speaking in the build-up to the race weekend, Hulkenberg said that Hungary is a very technical track, with one mistake costing the driver a lot of time: "I like Hungary, it’s a good Grand Prix. The track is cool and technical with lots of good corner combinations which come one after the other.
"It feels like all of the corners combine, one error means you will suffer in another corner; you need a good flow and harmony.It’s a physical track, very hot too which is hard on us drivers. I like the track: it’s a demanding circuit, you don’t get too many breaks on the lap, so it’s a Grand Prix which comes down to fitness, more so than others.
"I think the city of Budapest is pretty especially with all its architecture. In terms of food, they have the Hungarian goulash which is very popular. It’s certainly an interesting and pretty country and usually very hot there. There are lots of things to do and see, it’s a cool and buzzing weekend which means it’s usually good fun for the fans."
