The Coronavirus pandemic has still got everybody keeping an eye out for safety. After a rather silent 2020 season, the drivers returned to roaring crowds only at the Austrian GP this season. After three fan-filled grandstands, we return to another one at Hungaroring. However, the numbers won’t be as large (around 50%) as the precautionary mentions are stricter.

The circuit welcomes its fans after being closed to the public for a year. It does this after a grand Silverstone GP, which hosted 140,000 fans on Sunday. Although, the organizers are in no hurry to match up to that number. They aim to host a Grand Prix ensuring audience safety and do not hope to fill the stands.

This chapter of the Hungarian GP will see restrictions in traditional celebrations as well. There will be no pit walk, and fans are barred from jumping onto the track after the race. The organizers limit all celebrations to the seats.

It was also announced that to enter the circuit, local fans must display their immunity card or European digital certificate as proof of their Covid-19 status. International visitors will be allowed if they provide documents for a negative PCR test or any other circuit of immunity from a recognized organization.

If they met the criteria, they will give the fans an ‘official Covid-19 immunity wristbands’, without which entry to the circuit is out of bounds. The organizers in Hungary are taking a responsible way of doing things. They aim for the Hungarian GP to be enjoyed in the safest way possible.

Lewis Hamilton had an imperial weekend in Hungary that culminated with his eighth win at the circuit. He started on pole and finished ahead of Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas in what was an unchallenging race for the Brit.

Behind the race leader, drama ensued. Bottas lost his P2 to a slow start, while Max Verstappen almost crashed his car on the way to the grid. The circuit also Racing Point’s pink car starting the race third, because of a stunning qualifying by Lance Stroll. Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo pulled off an amazing 39-lap-spell n his mediums to finish eighth.

A lot of outstanding performances were seen last season, and our drivers have only improved. The drivers return to the challenging Hungaroring with increased zeal and gusto as its lights out and away we go on Sunday.
