Lewis Hamilton has set his sights on claiming victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix and adding to his success in Budapest.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The seven-time champion holds the record for the most victories around the Hungaroring with eight to his name.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, it has been several years since Hamilton last stood on the top step of the podium at the Budapest track, with his latest victory at the location coming in 2020.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Hamilton endured a difficult weekend last time out at Spa-Francorchamps, but is hopeful he can return to form and fight for victory on Sunday.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m hoping we can be [competitive],\u201d Hamilton told media including RacingNews365.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, firstly, I need to come correct next week and make sure I deliver the way I know I can deliver in Budapest.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to come and fight for that win.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The season, on the whole, has been a positive one for Hamilton who scored his first victory with the team earlier this year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Despite the disappointing event in Belgium last weekend, Hamilton hailed the positive steps taken by the team in recent times.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s definitely really encouraging,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cThe team have been making great decisions with strategy.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve really elevated a lot across the board in how we operate on the weekend.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThen [in Spa] we had the pace to win. Given everything, to come away with the points, I’m really grateful.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has set his sights on claiming victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix and adding to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-815924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
