Heikki Kovalainen:
„Mindig is j� visszat�rni a Hungaroringre. Igen j� eml�keim vannak onnan, �s mindig nagyszer� t�mogat�st kapok a finn rajong�kt�l Magyarorsz�gon. Minden alkalommal nagy finn t�borokat l�tok ott, �s azt gondolom, hogy egy kicsit k�nnyebb is sz�munkra eljutni oda, �s, amikor a finnek ott vannak, mindig nagyszer� a hangulat. Technikailag ez egy el�g tr�kk�s p�lya, mivel ott vannak rajta a gyors �s a lass� kanyarok is. Tr�kk�s, mivel az aut�k maxim�lis leszor�t� er� mellett futnak, �gy egy olyan be�ll�t�st kell tal�lnod, mely a gyors �s a lass� r�szeken is versenyk�pes. Az els� szektor az egyenesr�l sz�l, addig a m�sodik szektorban j�nnek a kanyarg�s r�szek, ahol sz�k�lni kezd a p�lya. Ezen a r�szen lehet nyerni egy kis id�t, ha az aut�d j�l van be�ll�tva. A megfelel� egyens�lyt kell megtal�lnod a f�kt�vok miatt, �s, hogy kem�nyen tudd t�madni a ker�kvet�ket. Ezzel egy�tt fontos a j� ritmus megtal�l�sa is, hogy az eg�sz k�r sor�n gyors legy�l. P�lyafelt�telek sokat fognak javulni a h�tv�ge sor�n. �ltal�ban eleinte el�g cs�sz�s a p�lya, de mire m�r az id�m�r�t futjuk, m�r el�g j� a tapad�s, felt�telezve azt, hogy az id�j�r�s tov�bbra is meleg, valamint sz�raz marad. Nagyon fontosak lesznek a be�ll�t�ssal kapcsolatos k�rd�sek, �gy k�szen kell �llnunk arra, hogy drasztikusan v�ltoztassunk a g�pen.”  //

Heikki Kovalainen: “I had my first Formula One win in 2008 in Hungary so it’s always good to come back to the Hungaroring. It's fair to say I have some pretty good memories from here and I always have great support from the Finnish fans in Hungary. There’s always a lot of Finns in the crowd as I think it’s a bit easier for them to get to Hungary, and whenever there’s Finnish fans around there’s always a great atmosphere! Technically the circuit is quite tricky as it is a mix of fast and slow corners and even though the cars run with maximum downforce you have to get the setup right for the quick and the slow stuff. The first sector is mostly about straight lines and outright speed but then you get into Sector 2 where it starts to get tight and twisty. The car is generally set up for those corners and if you have a good flow through there you can usually gain some time in that sector and improve on your lap time, if you set yourself and the car up correctly. You need to have good balance over the kerbs so that you can attack them, build up a good rhythm, and maintain your speed over the whole lap. 
The track also evolves a lot throughout the weekend. It usually starts off in quite a slippery state, but by the time we reach qualifying the grip levels can be pretty decent, assuming the weather has remained hot and dry. You just have to keep the evolution in mind during the first practice session and if the balance isn’t quite right you shouldn’t worry too much or dramatically change the set up of the car - when the circuit starts to rubber in the car will improve. The rear of the car starts to become more stable and the track always improves as the weekend progresses.”
