GET IN THERE LEWIS!!!
So unexpected but YES!! Heck of a result. :)
Glad to see Perez’s Q3 drought finally end.
Edit: Err P9 isn’t all that particularly impressive though.
Did he abort his last lap?
I’m so happy that McLaren is keeping form. In the F1TV commentary they said that they (McLaren) were not expecting much from the Hungaroring, but Norris made it into third with Piastri keeping up in fourth!
This bodes well for the rest of the season if the papaya is good on fast AND slow tracks. Lando needs a win and Piastri a podium!
Edit: I’m also stoked at the consistency taking P3 & P4.
HAMILTON POLE
HAMILTON POLE
HAMILTON POLE
Do we know what they did to those Alfas to make them this fast?
edit: from what I gather they just have fresh engines for this race while most of the rest of the grid do not
I didn’t think Hugary was that power dependant of a track? Maybe this just shows how close the field (except for Verstappen) really is. Let‘s see if they can keep up during the race.
Damn Russell got totally fucked. Also impressive by Danny ric
Yeah, but in all fairness you have to say that he left more space to the car in front than many others. No wonder other drivers jumped him.
He left himself vulnerable and he knows it. Not his team’s fault that he didn’t take his moment.
I don’t know man. I think this will lead to some fireworks between the drivers
And nothing will be changed. The gentlemen’s agreement regarding setup position in qualifying is a joke since many years. Nearly everyone is fuming about the others but isn’t acting good on the other side. It’s what you get in this competitive egocentric sports format.
I agree. Can’t expect the drivers to do the ‘right’ thing.
Wouldn’t mind some actual drama and rivalries instead of whatever Netflix manages to fabricate. Since Abu Dhabi 2021 everybody has been super okelidokeli friendly with one another. And while I do also like seeing that, it doesn’t exactly get the heart pumping during the race. At least Ocon is still a proper cunt, otherwise you could start calling this Barbiela 1.
I’d take some fireworks between the two, it might be exciting. With first place seemingly sewn up I’ll take my excitement where I can get it.
Yeah, let’s hope Ricciardo keeps on improving once he gets to know the car more!
I don’t think anyone broke the rules of this race given the lack of specific investigations against drivers, but I heard on the commentary that there was going to be a general investigation?
In the past we’ve had minimum sector times at the end of the lap, which in this case world have presumably forced Russell out to start his final lap a little sooner.
The new quali format is delivering good entertainment. I didn’t expect a quali that exciting
I think this is more due to such a short circuit leading to really close times. I think we would have had the same mix up in a regular format.
Sainz out, Zhou and Bottas in. The Alfas are flying today.
Thrilled for Hamilton to get at least one pole this season.
If someone other than red bull wins a race this year. It would be great if it could be Hamilton.
With how hard passing is here, a victory doesn’t seem impossible (as long as he and Max can avoid taking each other out turn one).
Agreed! A great performance by Hamilton! It’ll be interesting to see how Max behaves into turn 1 trying to catch Hamilton. Has he learned since 2021?
I would hope that because Max has very little to lose he will be a lot kinder on the start tomorrow. Then again those two can be so spicy.
It is because he has little to lose that he won’t.
Very very interesting Quali. Let’s hope the race is the same.
Who’s up for a cheeky bet that Christian is thinking about Danny Ricc back into the second seat? His interview post quali on Sky was interesting……
I didn’t hear that one but his general demeanour when talking about DR is positive not dismissive.
What did he say?
Alfa Romeo ♥️
HAM-VER-BOT, just like the good ol’ days!
I’m not mad about Norris ahead of all of them, though
Verstappen under the same kind of pressure as Perez has been in several qualis before. Let’s see how he responds
Refreshing to see. But let’s be honest. He’s on a completely different level. From driving skills to mental strength.
Best car, too, but I think the gap has closed a bit. Best car + best driver = Max always ruining everything for everyone ;-)
His headspace hasn’t really been tested this season because his car and driving skills have put him so far ahead in most races
Did Alfa Romeo bring any upgrades to Hungary that would explain their sudden increase in pace? Seriously hoping they can keep it in the front during the race.
They have not brought any updates this weekend. Their sudden pace is a mystery
Apparently they‘ve got fresh engines this weekend. Let’s hope they can keep up during the race!
Well it’s not like Hungary is a power sensetive circuit. I feel it’s more likely because the circuit characteristics suiting them + them absolutely nailing their setup
