With his German GP victory still fresh in the mind, Lewis Hamilton and McLaren will be out to maintain their momentum at this weekend's Hungarian GP.
Hamilton claimed his second win and McLaren's third of the season at the Nurburgring after holding off Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull's Mark Webber. His success was a welcome tonic for the team after their struggles at the European and British Grands Prix.
The 26-year-old admits he can't wait to get going again in Budapest, but he knows it will once again be a tight contest between the top three teams.
"After my win at the Nurburgring on Sunday, the Hungarian Grand Prix can't come soon enough," the former World Champion said. "The team performed brilliantly last weekend and I want to maintain that momentum at the Hungaroring.
He added: "There wasn't much between McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany. It's going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantage next weekend."
Hamilton, however, concedes that conditions at the "old school" Hungaroring will be different to those in Germany.
"It's going to be a completely different challenge," he said.
"The weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the 'Ring and the nature of the circuit will be very different too. The Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack, not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels, and it offers no let up for the drivers. We're always working behind the wheel, so it's very physical.
"I've always gone well in Hungary. I like the circuit because it's old school. It has a very historic feel to it, with hills and bumps and cambers changes, and it has massive character."
Team-mate Jenson Button, who was forced to retire with a hydraulics problem in Germany, expects a gruelling weekend in Hungary.
"After a premature end to my race at the Nurburgring, I'll be hoping for better luck at the Hungaroring," he said. "The MP4-26 was very competitive in Monaco a couple of months ago and I hope it will be a similar situation this weekend because the Hungaroring has many of the same performance criteria.
"The hot weather conditions make this one of the most gruelling races of the year for the drivers. Cockpit temperatures regularly exceed 50 degrees and we're always pulling g-force in the car because there are so many corners. It's tough, but this is definitely a circuit when all the training pays dividends."
