After these back to back races the Formula 1 circus takes a break for a few weeks. Teams have to close shop for three weeks and are basically forced to go on holiday. Mercedes GP's team principal Ross Brawn says that the team looks forward to the break: "An extremely busy few weeks for the team come to a conclusion with the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest next weekend, before the well-deserved break of the summer shutdown gives the opportunity to recharge the batteries."

He explains that he's hopeful to continue the good form they showed in Silverstone and the Nurburgring. The team will also introduce a couple of new parts in Hungary. "The Hungaroring is renowned for being a technically challenging track and it will be very useful for us to gain further experience of our latest developments there. It's not a track where overtaking has been easy in the past, so it will be interesting to see how the combined effect of DRS and KERS improves the possibilities this year. Our recent performances in Silverstone and Germany have been encouraging, although the pace is still not there to compete with the front-running teams, and we will keep working hard to continue to find improvements."
