WATCH: Hungary F1 circuit improvements take shape

Redevelopments of the Hungaroring are underway, following its contract extension to host Formula 1 races until 2027. The circuit changed ownership to the State Secretariat for Sport last year, which is part of Hungary's Department of Defence. As a result, a host of changes will be made to the circuit's facilities including a new pit lane complex, control tower, media centre, and main entrance. Video from a drone over the circuit shows the recent works, which includes 20,000 cubic metres of Earth being removed, 5,000 cubic metres of concrete demolished, and a total of 345 tonnes of reinforcing steel being transported - which is equivalent in weight to a Boeing 747 passenger jet.
