Charles Leclerc has really proved himself as a top driver this season but has been really unlucky not to get a win. He will hope that the Hungarian Grand Prix will provide him the opportunity to stand on the top step of the podium before the summer break. 

“The Hungaroring is definitely one of the most technical circuits of the season," Leclerc said. "There are aspects of it which remind me of a karting track. The corners follow on from each other in quick succession and as a driver, you don’t even have much time to think. There is no part of it where you can catch your breath because it is so frenetic.

"I personally like it, because it’s never easy to be competitive here. It is especially difficult to put together the perfect qualifying lap because you have to push hard while remembering to look after your tyres so that they last through the final sector.”

Ferrari will be looking to get their first win of the season before the summer break and put Leclerc's crash in Germany behind him.
