Round 12 of the Formula 1 season is at Hungary this weekend. After Hungary there are only two more races in Europe before the season is concluded in South America and Asia as the season is running out quickly.

McLaren have to move on quickly from last week’s race where they could only manage fourth and fifth place. Both cars need to have successful practise sessions to get them dialled into the race track in order to give themselves the best possible chance during qualifying and also the race.

The weather in Hungary can be an unpredictable thing, and some rain is expected for this weekend. This could effect qualifying but is more likely to change the race.

Rain could be the possible thing for the McLaren drivers as Jenson Button has shown in Australia and China that when it comes to choosing what tyres to be on he’s the man to listen to. Lewis Hamilton has also shown himself more than capable of driving in the wet where in China and Malaysia he has been one of the only drivers who has shone in the wet conditions.

Even after last weeks slightly disappointing race McLaren still lead the drivers and constructors Championship. This is due mainly to their driver’s consistency and being able to fork out results when needed.

If it rains at the Hungaroring then I expect to see a McLaren come home in first place. If it’s dry then I think it will be between the Ferrari’s and Red Bulls fighting for the top step of the podium.
