2008 Hungarian Grand Prix

The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix is slated this August 1 to August 3 at the Hungaroring in Budapest in Hungary.

2008 Hungarian Grand Prix is becoming more interesting due to close fight for the Driver's Championship. Currently McLaren's Lewis Hamilton leading the championship with 58 points closely followed by two Ferrari Drivers Felippe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen with 54 and 51 points respectively. BMW's Robert Kubica is not far behind with 48 points.

Lewis Hamilton is the favorite to win this year’s 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix. With his last two stellar wins there is no doubt that Hamilton will win his third straight formula race and further extend his lead against Ferrari Drivers Felippe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.


Ferrari led the Constructors' Championship by 16 points from BMW Sauber. BMW are only 3 points clear of McLaren in 2nd place. In the battle for fourth, Toyota leads Red Bull by one point. Red Bull lead Renault by a further point after Nelsinho Piquet came 2nd in the 2008 German Grand Prix. Force India are the only team without a point after Super Aguri's withdrawal.

The last two Hungarian Grand Prix have been won by British drivers, with Lewis Hamilton winning the 2007 race ahead of Kimi Räikkönen for McLaren and Jenson Button winning the chaotic 2006 edition for Honda, his only F1 win to date.

There are three other former Hungarian Grand Prix winners in the field. Kimi Räikkönen won for McLaren in 2005; Fernando Alonso won his maiden Grand Prix for Renault in 2003, whilst Brazil's Rubens Barrichello won the 2002 race for Ferrari.

2008 Hungarian Grand Prix is 11th race of the season and 7 more races to go as total 18 races are scheduled in 2oo8. Hungarian Grand Prix consists of 70 laps with the circuit length of 3.81 KM covering total distance of 306.663 KM.
