Mercedes young driver George Russell stole the glory from Ferrari on the second day of the Hungaroring testing, setting a new unofficial track record on Pirelli's hypersoft tyres.
That baby used to be Jules, now it's Charles. Since both were very close with Jules, both Ferrari and Charles want to win a Championship just for Jules I reckon.NathanOlder wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 15:07Ferrari shouldn't have problems, Sebastian will be the one with the problems.

If the team manages this well it will be a boost for the team.Raleigh wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 16:17That spells trouble for Vettel.
Though I think he'll be more prepared for the fight this time around than he was against Ricciardo. Got to be a system shock winning 4 titles in a row and comprehensively crushing your team mate, only to get blown away by a younger and less experienced driver new to the team.
This time at least he knows Leclerc is going to be really fast and a big challenge.
Either way I'm really looking forward to that team battle.
Yeah very good point, I hadn't thought about that.WaikeCU wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 15:18That baby used to be Jules, now it's Charles.

I can't believe they would do that, If Charles turns out faster (very possible) then he has to give way to Seb, only for Seb to have a meltdown 3yrs running and lose another title. It would be very foolish of Ferrari, they won't do that. Kimi was pushed in to a number 2 after years of being beaten. He started each year with every chance, but after 4 races and the beginning of the European calendar, Ferrari could see it was up to Seb so they use Kimi accordingly and rightfully so.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 16:28It rather depends what Leclerc's contract says, I'd guess. If Leclerc's signed up to a definite, written in blood, number 2 position then Vettel won't worry. If he's not worried he'll drive better and so be able to outpace the youngster.
You do know the Honda STR did the most laps on both days right?NathanOlder wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 01:24Good to see Red Bull getting some laps in while they still can.
Was kubica focusing on long runs with such a poor time
Indeed he didn´t try to make fast laps as he was focusing on other things. Lap times are not important in this test. I dont think Ferrari is 1,5-2 seconds faster than Mercedes right now.
So what would be the reason to rate down this post ? It's not a 'Like' 'Dislike' button, if its rated down , I guess its something that someone see's as incorrect ? If thats the case, why not have a discussion on the matter ? I'd love to know what Iv'e got wrong.NathanOlder wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 17:13I can't believe they would do that, If Charles turns out faster (very possible) then he has to give way to Seb, only for Seb to have a meltdown 3yrs running and lose another title.
