So unexpected but YES!! Heck of a result. :)
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.
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?
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.

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.
Damn Russell got totally fucked. Also impressive by Danny ric
Yeah, let’s hope Ricciardo keeps on improving once he gets to know the car more!
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
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.
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.
Very very interesting Quali. Let’s hope the race is the same.
Sainz out, Zhou and Bottas in. The Alfas are flying today.
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……
What did he say?
I didn’t hear that one but his general demeanour when talking about DR is positive not dismissive.
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.
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
Alfa Romeo ♥️
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
