Esteban Gutierrez is excited by the prospect of returning to the first track he drove in Europe this weekend, when he heads to the Hungaroring in Budapest of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
After a stellar karting career and a season in Formula BMW USA, the Mexican moved over to Europe to continue his ascent to Formula One, and the Hungaroroing, which has hosted Formula One Grands Prix since 1986, was the first circuit he headed to.
"The Hungaroring for me is a special track. It’s the first track I tested in Europe back at the end of 2007 when I tested Formula BMW, so it brings me great memories every time I come back there," said the Haas F1 Team driver. "I have achieved great results, so mainly from that point of view, I’m happy to be back. It is a slow track, but it has also quick corners and a very interesting layout."
The Hungaroring is vastly different to Silverstone which hosted the last Grand Prix just over a week ago, but the challenge is something the 24-year-old is relishing.
"It’s quite physically demanding because of the fact you have not many chances to have a pause from the driving. You have to be focused all the time because all the corners make it very demanding – mentally and physically. But I like that challenge. It’s a nice track and I really look forward to the experience."
