The “Monaco without walls” awaits Campos Racing drivers as the FIA Formula 3 Championship heads to Hungary for its fourth round of the 2021 season
Campos Racing is ready for a new chapter of Formula 3 action as the series hits the half-season mark in the heart of Europe. Budapest, commonly known as the “Queen of the Danube”, hosts the fourth out of seven rounds of the FIA Formula 3 Championship and a new triple header event full of excitement and closely-fought racing battles in the frame of the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix.
The single Spanish-based racing team in the series will field its three-car army for Amaury Cordeel, Lorenzo Colombo and László Töth. The latter will be one of the stars of the event competing in front of his home crowd. Both Belgian Cordeel and Italian Colombo scored their best results of the season in Spielberg earlier this month. Cordeel and Colombo will be pushing even harder to secure their first points at the Hungaroring. Töth will be get an extra morale boost racing at his home round and his goal will also be to achieve the best possible results.
This event usually marks the final round before the summer break and 2021 won’t be an exception. It is not by chance that the circuit is sometimes called “Monaco without walls” due to its quick succession of slow corners with little chances to make overtakes. Tire wear and degradation is low despite traditionally high temperatures, which usually make a huge impact on drivers and cars. As a result of the twisty nature of Hungaroring, engineers need to focus on a high downforce set-up. Just like Monaco, a strong qualifying position makes life much easier coming into the weekend.
Free practice and qualifying sessions will take place on Friday at 10.05 and 13.50 respectively. The first two races will take place on Saturday at 10.35 and 17.55. Sunday will be devoted to weekend’s third and final race at 10.45. All times CET.
Adrián Campos-Suñer Torres (Campos Racing Sporting Director): “We are all working as hard as possible in order to achieve the best results possible, which our drivers and the team itself deserve. We expect that our effort will finally pay off and we will be able to translate into results.”
Amaury Cordeel (FIA Formula 3 driver of Campos Racing): “We race this weekend in Hungary and I’m very impatient to see what we can do on this track.
