Formula 1 Stars Arrive in Hungary for Race on Sunday
The Formula One drivers arrived in Hungary and visited the Hungaroring at Mogyoród on Thursday.

The Hungarian Grand Prix weekend begins with free practice runs on Friday, followed by time trials from 4 p.m. Saturday. The race proper starts at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Organisers anticipate more than 230,000 visitors at the weekend, which would be a new record high for the event.

Because of the extremely dry weather, organisers are asking visitors to smoke only in designated places and not to throw away their burning cigarette butts.
