The 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the Formula One Eni Magyar Nagydij 2012)[1] was a Formula One motor race that took place at the Hungaroring circuit near Mogyoród, Hungary on 29 July 2012.[4] It was the eleventh round of the 2012 season, and the twenty-seventh running of the Hungarian Grand Prix as a round of the World Championship.
Lewis Hamilton started the sixty nine lap race from pole position[5]—his first since the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix—alongside Romain Grosjean, in his career-best starting position.[6] Hamilton went on to win the race with Kimi Räikkönen second and Grosjean finishing third.[7]
This race marks Heikki Kovalainen's 100th race.
Report[]
Background[]
- Regulation changes
Red Bull Racing were referred to race stewards at the German Grand Prix after FIA Technical Delegate Jo Bauer noted that their engine maps had the potential to violate the technical regulations.[8] Red Bull stood accused of manipulating the relationship between the torque produced by the Red Bull RB8 and the degree to which the throttle was open—particularly in medium-speed corners—thereby allowing more air to pass through the exhaust and over the diffuser, generating more downforce. Red Bull were cleared of wrongdoing, as, in the stewards' words, they had not technically broken any rules, but the FIA announced plans to rewrite the regulations governing throttle mapping so as to outlaw the practice entirely ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.[9]
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought its white-banded medium compound tyre as the harder "prime" tyre and the yellow-banded soft compound tyre as the softer "option" tyre. It was the first time at the track in the single tyre supplier era (2008–present(Bridgestone then Pirelli)) where the 'supersoft' tyre had not been used.[10]
- Driver changes
Dani Clos took Narain Karthikeyan's place once again for the first free practice session on Friday morning.[11] Jules Bianchi drove in the place of Nico Hülkenberg at Force India, while Valtteri Bottas drove for Williams, replacing Bruno Senna.
