Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc briefly looked ahead to the Hungarian Grand Prix. After a double DNF during the second Grand Prix weekend at the Red Bull Ring Ferrari now hopes to score some solid points again. The performance of the SF1000 needs to improve.

The Italian race team from Maranello will bring a few updates to the Hungaroring, but first it will have to be tested if they really have an added value. In any case it is important to improve quickly, because Racing Point, McLaren and Renault don't sit still either and on some circuits Ferrari seem to have outdone themselves.

Vettel is going to miss fans

"After the poor showing last weekend in Spielberg it's good that I can get straight back on track.", Vettel says through the official channels of his employer. "It’s also a track that attracts a lot of Ferrari fans and supporters from Germany too, so it will be very strange racing without seeing them cheering in the grandstands.”

Leclerc looks ahead

Teammate Leclerc is also happy that a week later there is already a chance for revenge after his mistake last weekend in Austria. “I’m really looking forward to being back in the car. I like the Hungaroring, which is a very technical circuit, featuring several tricky areas where you pay for the slightest mistake with lap time. That’s why, especially in qualifying, you have to put together the perfect lap", said young Monegask.
