Zoom in: Hungarian Grand Prix

The Hungarian Grand Prix is a great race to come to. The city of Budapest is fantastic, with really nice architecture and loads of restaurants and bars. There is a great vibe to the place.

Add to that the fact that normally it is pretty hot here - sometimes up to 40 degrees and really humid - and it is a weekend that really stands out. This weekend is a bit cooler, but you still notice it when the sun comes out.

Track-wise, it is pretty good for photographers. It is compact, so you can get everywhere by foot. It is really nice to walk out, there is lots of greenery everywhere and there are no fences - and you are still quite close to the track so it feels very old old school.

Where to take the classic shots from

There are some quite nice features dotted around the track - especially the famous water park that is near the circuit. You can do pan shots there from the outside of Turn 4, with all the slides and the nice colours in the background.

One of the most famous shots though, is right at the top of the track as the cars come out of Turn 5 and head towards the quick chicane at Turns 6 and 7. You stand in between 5 and 6, and you can get the town in the background and that famous water-cooling tower. It is a classic landmark and you can take that shot without including it, but we like to because you see old pictures with that in as well.

Good race shots can be taken at the quick left hander at Turn 8, and the final stadium section is pretty good for Sundays because there is often a great atmosphere there with the crowd. Sometimes you can shoot from the high banking on the outside of Turn 12, which gives you some unusual elevation.
