Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix

The Hungarian Grand Prix dates back to 1936. The Formula One Grand Prix has been hosted at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród close to Budapest since its birth in 1985, when it was the first F1 race to be run behind the Iron Curtain.

2006 was the first year in which the Hungarian Grand Prix was run in wet conditions - this was the year when Nigel Mansell's 17-year-record of winning from 12th was broken, when Jenson Button took victory from 14th place on the grid.
