Fernando Alonso will be determined to win the
Hungarian Grand Prix for the second time in his illustrious career having won the race two decades ago.
Most recent race
The Alfa Romeo driver missed out on a podium spot at the British Grand Prix on July 9 and his 33rd victory in the sport remains elusive.
Alonso started the race in P9 and he went on finish seven which saw him collect six points which kept his dream of winning his third Formula One world championship alive.
Formula One title ambitions
The decorated racing driver is still placed third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 137 points from 10 races.
Alonso is 19 points and 118 points behind the Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT duo of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen respectively.
Why Alonso could win the 2023 Hungarian MotoGP
The 2010 Hungarian Grand Prix runner-up knows what it takes to win this event having won it in 2003 ahead of the legendary Kimi Räikkönen.
Having finished second at this year's Monaco Grand Prix and Canadian Grand Prix, Alonso will be keen to record his first win of the season when he competes at the Hungaroring.
What did he say?
"Yes, we weren’t fast enough in any session on the weekend, so it was not different in the race," Alonso said after the 2023 British Grand Prix.
"We struggled a little bit with the pace, but we maximised the strategy, we tried to stretch the stint on the Medium at the beginning, and then there was a Safety Car, we chose the Soft, because it was just short run to the end.
"I think it was a good strategy and thanks to all those calls I think we took seventh place that maybe a little bit higher than the pace that we had."
