2024 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, July 19 - 21

Shocking coverage. Why the f*** didn't F1TV show anyone's sector times except Norris. Ricciardo improved and we saw nothing. Didn't show Hamilton's time. F1TV can screw themselves with the abysmal race direction. I could do a better job.

What a waste of time cars were sat there for about 10 minutes so stone cold used tyres when they got going

[Tvetovnato]

Verstappens first sector is the key for tomorrow. McLaren needs 1-2 through the first corner for this to work for them.

No, it’s the way to go. Indycar have had this for some time. You can’t impede your rivals with no consequence.

You're out of the qualifying, that's the consequence. Indycar is crap, F1 should not look at them.

While destroying the chances for half the field to improve their times.

Same as if rain starts, that's called luck.

Mclaren is just getting better and better. They are fast everywhere in all conditions. The second half of the season is gonna feature lots of Mclaren victories and Redbull trying to minimize the damage. Merc is only good on certain tracks, so is Ferrari. Very interesting second half to come.

Stark difference to rain though, right? A driver cannot control when it rains, but he can control how hard to sends the car into a corner.

Let's judge race pace tomorrow. Oscar having more ultimate pace than Max is definitely significant though.

wtf are they doing at the end of the pitlane ? this is not gonna restart shortly

McLaren was protecting themselves.

Rest hoping for massive track evolution.

What if driver have certain pole in Monaco but crashes in last attempt and loses everything because of it.
Another driver cause a collision in a race and send opponent into gravel, he continues, receives 10s and comfortably wins.
Is it fair?

Still going for Max for the win, Red Bull are operationally better with strategy and the race pace looked better than the Macca's. Interesting race tomorrow.

Did Norris have a slipstream in sector 1? His top speed before t1 is much higher than Piastri's.

[f1onions]

By the way, Verstappen did 254 kph in t4, which is higher than what W11 did.

You seem to be looking at it from the driver who crashed POV. A driver with a certain pole who crashes on his last attempt and causes a red flag is a prime example of why the rule should be applied as he surely prevents others from trying to beat the time by crashing.

Wow, and that was the turn that impressed me most about the W11 lap.

[Dunlay]

Hopefully upgrades don't give advantage to any one team and keep them bunched up even closer than they have been, constantly changing the winners. It would be exciting if Max doesn't get anymore wins but will be on podium most of the times to make this WDC another hard fought one and interesting season ending.

Prediction from earlier in the week. So far, so good, atleast in part. Nobody has gained a march on.
