最大的問題是匈牙利的天氣會如何?先前在英國和德國站的平均溫度是攝氏18,25和16.25度，如果匈牙利氣溫比平常低，那們對紅牛就有優勢;如果比較高，那麼BrawnGP就有希望在兩場不愉快的比賽後重新拿下頭銜，現在匈牙利的預報平均溫度是30.5度。
Red Bull must be considered the favourite, after two wins so far this season for Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber’s recent breakthrough success in Germany. The Australian is determined to keep winning, and is only 1.5 points behind his team mate.
紅牛必須考慮要將資源給哪位車手，Sebastian Vettel 在本季拿下了兩個冠軍而Mark Webber則是在德國站有突破性的勝利。澳洲車手Mark Webber只落後他的隊友1.5分，他必定決心要繼續取勝。
However, Ross Brawn is adamant that his team can fight back and, for the first time in two races, extend their championship leads.
無論如何，Ross Brawn 確信他們一定可以重振聲勢，像本季開幕兩站一樣，延續他們的領先優勢。
"The last two races at Silverstone and the Nurburgring have been frustrating for the team as we have not been able to achieve the full potential of our car at the same time as our competitors have taken a good step forward,” he said. “However we are confident that the inherent performance of the BGP 001 which was demonstrated during the first half of the season has not disappeared and the problems that we faced were unique to the circumstances of those races.
"最近的兩站成績讓車隊感到洩氣，我們沒有發揮車子的全部潛力，而同時對手已經正確跨出領先的一步"，Ross Brawn說。"無論如何，我們對於車子在上半季所展現的實力有自信，它並沒有消失。我們所遇到的難題是比賽時的環境"。
"Our focus now is to maximise the performance that we know is in the car whilst continuing to develop improvements which will maintain our championship challenge. We have a significant aerodynamic upgrade for this race which will bring performance gains in efficiency, downforce and aero balance but we face a fierce battle and we must continue to improve for the rest of the season. The team has faced many challenges to arrive where we are today and I am confident that we have the people and resources, plus two excellent drivers, to respond and fight to maintain our position of leading the constructors' and drivers' championships."
"我們的目標是將賽車的優勢最大化，繼續開發升級套件來維持競爭力。在本站會有明顯的空力升級，會有更好的效率，下壓力和平衡性，但是我們面對的是激烈的競爭，所以犧牲賽季中的休兵時間來繼續研發工作。車隊在達到今天的成果前已經面對很多的挑戰，但是我有信心，我們有人才、資源和兩位優秀車手，來應付挑戰和維持車手和製造商冠軍的領先地位"。
Championship leader Jenson Button is also determined to get his seventh victory of the season to safeguard his points advantage.
積分領先者Jenson Button 也決心要拿下本季的第七勝來保衛領先地位。
"Hungary is always one of my favourite races and even more so this year as it should finally be a return to some real summer temperatures! The circuit holds some very special memories for me as the venue of my first Formula One win three years ago and it's fantastic to be going back there with the chance to compete for the win again.
"匈牙利一直都是我最愛的賽道之一，特別是今年似乎總算出現了夏天該有的溫度!這條賽道有我一些特別的回憶，三年前我在這裡拿下首勝，而今年有機會在這裡再次挑戰勝利真是太棒了"。
“The Hungaroring is quite a challenging circuit as it is so twisty and there's no real respite round the lap but it is a lot of fun to drive. The lap has a good rhythm and mix of slow-speed and high-speed turns. The circuit generates an incredible amount of grip as the weekend gets underway which can provide a real challenge in finding the right set-up.
"匈牙利站是很有挑戰性的賽道，非常曲折而且賽道旁沒有真正的緩衝區，但是開起來很有趣。賽道有步調很好的高低速彎組合成，賽道在週末上路時提供的驚人抓地力對於找到正確的設定有很大的挑戰性"。
“I’ve been at home in Monaco for the past week concentrating on my training but I know that the guys at the factory and at Mercedes-Benz have been working really hard on our latest upgrade package and I just can't wait to get back in the car."
"我過去幾週一直待在摩納哥的家裡專心訓練，但是我知道工廠和M-B的工作人員一直都在努力的研發最新的升級套件，我已經等不及要坐進賽車裡見識一下了"。
Ferrari won here last year courtesy of Felipe Massa, and they are confident of a stronger showing than of late in the improving F60, while at McLaren Lewis Hamilton and last year’s winner, Heikki Kovalainen, look forward to running the new aerodynamic package that briefly showed promise on the world champion’s car in Germany.
Massa去年在此縮缸前法拉利可以拿下最多積分，今年他們在升級了F60後有信心可以在這裡有好表現。麥拉倫車隊方面，Lewis Hamilton 和去年在此奪冠的 Heikki Kovalainen 正期待著新的空力套件能發揮多少作用，在德國站Lewis Hamilton 就使用新套件，開賽後就馬上發生事故退賽。
“The Hungaroring is one of the most demanding circuits for drivers because you’re busy throughout the entire lap,” Hamilton said. “It’s a bit like a kart circuit - there are lots of twists and turns and the only place to relax is along the start/finish straight, which is quite short. It’s also quite low-grip which makes overtaking particularly tricky.
"匈牙利站是最考驗車手的賽道之一，因為一整圈都要非常專注"，Hamilton 表示。"那有一點像kart跑道 - 有很多的彎和曲道，唯一可以放鬆的地方就是短短的起跑直線道。跑道的低抓地力特性也讓超車特別難"。
“But I really enjoy the place - I won here in 2007 and was on pole last year. It’s a circuit that really rewards consistent, precise driving - push too hard and you tend to lose rather than gain time. Given the potential we showed in Germany last weekend, I’m hopeful of getting a result that demonstrates the improvement we’ve made over the past few weeks.”
"但是我很享受在這比賽 - 我07年在此奪冠，去年則是拿下竿位。夠專注、精準的車手在這都有好成績，操之過急反而會損失時間而不是縮短。基於上週德國站表現的潛力，我希望可以證明過去幾週我們所做的升級是有用的"。
Williams, Renault and Toyota are also optimistic for strong showings, while Force India boss Vijay Mallya has expressed the opinion that the revised aerodynamic package first seen in Germany will enable his team to get in among their faster rivals for the second race in a row.
Williams, Renault 和 Toyota 也樂觀的期待有好表現，Force India車隊老闆 Vijay Mallya評論在德國站登場的新空力在修改後可以在這第二場比賽追上他們的對手。
Big things are also expected at Toro Rosso, where the STR4s will benefit from a significant aerodynamic update which includes the double diffuser that has been so effective on the Red Bull RB5 of late.
Toro Rosso 也期待著有所進步，STR4s賽車將有明顯的空力升級，包括不久前在紅牛RB5車上發揮作用雙層擴散器。
Sebastien Buemi will also have a new team mate as Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari, who replaces Sebastien Bourdais, is set to become the youngest man ever to race in F1 at the age of 19 years and 125 days.
Sebastien Buemi 則是有位西班牙新隊友Jaime Alguersuari，他將取代Sebastien Bourdais的位置，並且刷新參賽車手年紀最輕的紀錄，他目前是19歲又125天。
At present the record is the subject of dispute. In 1980 New Zealander Mike Thackwell started the Canadian Grand Prix aged 19 years and 182 days, but the race was stopped after an accident on the first lap. Thackwell was unable to start the new race because he had to hand his undamaged Tyrrell over to team mate to Jean-Pierre Jarier.
現在的紀錄是有爭議的，在1980年的紐西蘭車手Mike Thackwell 在加拿大站參賽，當時年紀19歲又182天，但是只跑一圈就因為發生一場意外而結束，他必須將未受損的賽車給他的隊友Jean-Pierre Jarier，而他沒有賽車可以重新開始比賽。
Since Thackwell did not thus officially start the part of the race that was recognised as the real Canadian Grand Prix that year, his record was annulled. Thus the mark is currently held by Mexican star Ricardo Rodriguez who started the 1961 Italian Grand Prix aged 19 years and 208 days. Besides Thackwell and Rodriguez, other 19 year-olds to race in Formula One were Chris Amon, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Esteban Tuero.
Thackwell 沒有重新起跑，官方上他沒有記錄在當年的加拿大站比賽，他的紀錄是宣告無效的。如此一來官方紀錄是由墨西哥明星車手Ricardo Rodriguez保持，他在1961年義大利戰參賽，當時19歲又208天。除了Thackwell 和 Rodriguez，19歲參賽的車手還有Chris Amon、Fernando Alonso、Sebastian Vettel 和 Esteban Tuero。
Hungary marks a change in Bridgestone’s recent philosophy of leaving a gap between their dry tyre compounds. As in Monaco, they will bring their soft and super soft wares.
匈牙利站象徵普利司通所做的改變，之前的策略在乾胎配方上有所不足，像在摩納哥，他們就使用軟胎和超軟胎配方。
Hirohide Hamashima, director of motorsport tyre development, said: “We have made the change to the tyre allocation concept based on the data we have collected from races so far this year combined with our knowledge of the tracks we visit for these races. The cars of 2009 are very different to those used last year so we have learnt a lot so far this year, and they do use their tyres differently from before. Hungary is a circuit where the characteristics demand our softest tyres. This is also true for street courses, and we used the softest allocation earlier in the year at Monaco, and will again in Valencia.”
Hirohide Hamashima是賽車運動輪胎開發經理，他表示""我們已經改變輪胎分配想法，這是基於今年所得到的資料和結合我們測試過的賽道所得到的資訊，2009年的賽車和去年的賽車有很大的不同，所以今年我們又再學了很多，而且輪胎的運用跟去年也有所不同。匈牙利賽道的特性要用軟胎來對應，這也符合街道賽的要求，我們在今年稍早的摩納哥站也用上了最軟的胎，而在瓦倫西亞也將會再次使用。
