All at Formula 1 offer our most sincere condolences to Peter Gerstl’s family and friends following the sad news of his passing.

He was a great friend of the sport, a visionary and a pioneer in helping make the Hungaroring circuit one of the milestones in the Formula 1 calendar and Budapest one of the destination cities for the Formula 1 family and fans.

His legacy is the Hungaroring and its great sporting memories.

ENDS
