Rubens Barrichello says that he looks forward to the upcoming Grand Prix of Hungary. The Brazilian is a former winner of the tight circuit. He won the race in 2002 while driving for Ferrari. The main characteristic according to Barrichello is a general lack of overtaking possibilities: "Hungary is the type of track that is quite difficult to overtake on, but with DRS it should be a little bit easier. It is a race I have won in the past so I am looking forward to racing there again. Just like Monaco, it is a slow speed track which can throw up a few surprises, so I hope we can get a better result. I stay in my motorhome so I'm about 20km away from the city but I know the place quite well and my kids will be coming so I'm looking forward to them also getting to know Hungary."

Williams announced that both cars will be equipped with KERS again. In Germany they removed KERS from Barrichello's car to see if it would gain an advantage. Last year Barrichello finished 16th for Williams.
