Hill looks for good outing in Hungary

Damon Hill returns to the scene of his first-ever grand prix win as Formula One moves to Hungary

As a stark contrast to the high speed Hockenheim, the Hungaroring will see significant change of the pace on its low speed, high downforce circuit.

The Hungarian circuit is one of the most difficult tracks on the calendar, according to Jordan's chief designer Mike Gascoyne.

However, he remains hopeful Hill can turn his season around at this weekend's race.

'Damon has traditionally done well in Hungary,' said Gascoyne.

'The Jordan Mugen-Honda has performed well this year on low speed, high downforce circuits similar to the Hungarian track, so there is reason to believe we can win more points.

'We have made further steps with the car and will have several new aerodynamic parts for maximum downforce.'

The Hungaroring is slow and low on grip, especially on Friday when there is a lot of surface dust in the track.

F1 tyre supplier, Bridgestone, will be offering the teams a choice of soft and extra soft compounds.
