Setups
Here you can explore a complete collection of setups designed for every condition on track.Choose between Qualifying setups for maximum one-lap pace, Race setups for consistency and tyre management, or Wet setups to stay competitive in difficult conditions.
BrakePo+nt Setup → balanced downforce, offering a mix of speed and stability.
Safe Setup → highest downforce, best grip in corners, more stable but slower on straights.
Aggressive Setup → lowest downforce, fastest on straights, but harder to handle in corners.
If parc fermé is enabled, just skip qualifying and load the race setup straight away.

Grand Prix Strategy
The Grand Prix Strategy gives you everything you need to prepare for both qualifying and the race.
You’ll find details like outlap time, fuel load, starting tyre temperatures, and the best point to activate ERS in quali. For the race, you’ll get the expected laps at half distance, recommended fuel amount, pit stop time loss, and pit limiter speed. On the right, the tyre strategy shows the fastest option, an alternative plan, and a possible two-stop strategy – including exact pit windows to help you manage tyres and race pace.

Quali Usage:
For the fastest qualifying laps, it’s important to adapt your ERS mode to each section of the track. Smart energy management ensures you extract maximum performance across a single lap. Never use HOTLAP — only on long straights after pressing OVERTAKE, but it’s usually better to just stay on OVERTAKE longer.

Race Usage:
During the race, use OVERTAKE only in short bursts on the straights, keep MEDIUM active for most of the lap, and switch to NONE through corners to recover energy efficiently.
Circuit info
The Circuit Info section provides a quick overview of the track.
It includes the lap counts for race and sprint, total circuit length, number of DRS zones, and possible overtaking spots. You’ll also find the pole position side, reference AI lap time at 110%, and key ratings such as track grip, tyre wear, downforce level, and average speed.
Use this information to understand the character of the circuit and prepare your setups and strategy accordingly.

Tips and tricks

Setup tips:

Aerodynamics:
Hungary demands one of the highest downforce setups in the calendar, giving maximum grip through the twisty sections.
Transmission:
Reduce off-throttle diff to improve rotation and responsiveness.
Suspension:
A soft rear suspension setup helps the car rotate more easily through the slower corners.
Brakes:
A rearward brake bias works well here, as the slower speeds make front lockups less likely.
Tyres:
Tyre wear can rise quickly in DRS trains – raise pressures if needed to keep them under control.

Race tips:

High downforce is essential, as the track is tight and twisty with almost no straights.
Smooth and precise steering helps maintain rhythm through the flowing middle sector.
Be careful with kerb usage – some can help rotation, but overusing them unsettles the car.
Traction management out of the slow corners is key to consistency and tyre life.
Avoid overdriving – the circuit rewards patience and control more than aggression.
A clean exit from the final corner is crucial to maximise speed down the main straight.
