Jacques Villeneuve has revealed he is one of the few drivers to relish the Hungarian GP

The Hungaroring is one of the most unpopular tracks on the F1 calendar with drivers and fans alike. The Budapest circuit is notoriously twisty, making overtaking difficult. But Villeneuve said:

"I enjoy the Hungary race, the general atmosphere is nice. The people get excited about the race and it's quite a happening city. It's always been fun racing here. It's a strange track because it doesn't really have straight lines, it turns all the time, which normally is not a good thing, but somehow the layout is actually fun and it has a good rhythm.The track is changing a bit this year so I don't know exactly what to expect, but previously the chicane is the one corner that just shouldn't be there. The rest of the track is quite nice. I don't know how much the changes will affect the ability to overtake."
