Red Bull announced on Thursday that Mark Webber will continue to drive for the team next season.

The big question is, just how hot will it be in Hungary? If it is relatively cool, that could favour Red Bull the way that the recent races in Britain and Germany did. If it is markedly warmer than either of these, where the average ambient temperatures were 18.25 and 16.25 degrees Celsius respectively, Brawn GP will be hoping to get back into the title fight after two unhappy outings

The Hungaroring presents plenty of challenges for drivers and engineers. The circuit features no high-speed corners, leading the teams to run the highest possible downforce levels, while the primary concern for the engine is ensuring good cooling in the usually hot conditions. The high summer temperatures also make life difficult for the drivers, who need to be in peak physical condition to cope with a race that gives them very little respite over its 70-laps

Toro Rosso’s new signing Jaime Alguersuari will join three other drivers on Thursday to face the media, while Friday’s press call will see leading personnel from four teams take to the stage.

Last year Toyota’s Timo Glock left Budapest a happy man, after clinching his first Formula One podium at the Hungarian Grand Prix. As he returns to the Hungaroring for this weekend’s race, Glock is optimistic he could enjoy another successful outing at the track…

With the brains of Adrian Newey, a small army working back at their UK base in Milton Keynes and the generous patronage of Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, Red Bull Racing have been threatening to step up to the front of the field ever since they bought out Jaguar in 2004. This season they have finally made it into the big time, thanks in no small part to the combination of new signing Sebastian Vettel and experienced runner Mark Webber.

Although Force India ultimately left the last round in Germany disappointed, their performance over the race weekend was highly encouraging, with Adrian Sutil qualifying in seventh and racing as high as second.

Although BMW Sauber’s 2009 season to date has been far from ideal, the team held a special day at the Nurburgring on Monday to thank the team’s fans and partners for their continued support. Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica and BMW Motorsport director Mario Theissen were all in attendance at the German track

Following his German Grand Prix success, Mark Webber is closer than ever to Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel, both in terms of performance and world championship points. Webber is third in the standings on 45.5 to second-placed Vettel’s 47. But while championship leader Jenson Button may hope to gain from the Red Bull duo taking points off each other, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insists the team won’t favour one driver unless a clear title favourite emerges…

While Red Bull won the race, Renault also had reason to celebrate in Germany, with Fernando Alonso clocking the fastest lap of the race in his upgraded R29. Alonso’s team mate Nelson Piquet will receive the same package in time for next weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix and technical director Bob Bell is hopeful that both drivers will enjoy strong performances in Budapest…
