Lance Stroll looking forward to "building on last weekend's performance"

Lance Stroll will be feeling confident after finishing last weekends German Grand Prix in 4th and will hope to carry the momentum through to the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend. SportPesa Racing Point will be hoping for another strong result before the summer break and will hope to put the disappointment of the start of the season behind them.  

“Racing in Budapest in the summer is quite tough," Stroll said. "It’s a physical circuit and the weather is usually hot and humid at this time of year.
 
“To be competitive you need lots of downforce and a set-up that is not too demanding on the tyres. There are lots of traction zones that put big energy through the tyres and the high track temperatures also make life difficult.
 
“The lap is tight and twisty, and there’s no real chance to catch your breath, so you really have to keep your concentration. It’s good fun, though, and very satisfying behind the wheel through the quicker corners, such as four and eleven. When the car is hooked up, you can really enjoy the flow of the circuit and find a nice rhythm.
 
“I think we made some progress with the car last week. The new parts have helped and we need to build on all that work this week.”

SportPesa Racing Point will be hoping for a double points finish and that the team launches an attack of the midfield battle in Budapest.
