The fans at the Hungarian Grand Prix are found to be among the most enthusiastic ones in the world even though there are no Hungarian drivers on the F1 track.

The first Hungarian Grand Prix was held on June 21, 1936 over a 3.1-mile track laid out in Nepliget, a park near the center of Budapest. The Mercedes-Benz, Auto Union, and Ferrari teams all sent three cars and the event drew a very large crowd. However, politics and the ensuing war meant the end of Grand Prix motor racing in the country for fifty years.

The Grand Prix of Hungary 2007 was the eleventh race of the 2007 Formula One World Championship. It took place on the weekend of August 3rd - 5th 2007 at the Hungaroring Circuit.
