Lewis Hamilton emerged victorious in the 34th Hungarian Grand Prix, winning a thrilling battle with Max Verstappen in a race where strategy decided the final outcome. Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel completed the Hungaroring podium.
Session over for Bottas
That's not the start to the weekend he needed.
Mercedes confirm that the power-unit swap we brought you news of earlier means the Finn won't be back out before Practice Two.
The Finn didn't manage to set a timed lap before his original engine developed a misfire.
It was a cold, but I bet when you have a cold you take tablets or medicine? I bet you he wouldn't have been able to really take anything for it.Zarathustra wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 10:53Yeah- he had a bit of a sore throat, well ‘boohoo’..Restomaniac wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 10:47Indeed.

They informed us before the race in Germany. So they would probably do the same this weekend. No excuse --- last weekend I'm afraid buddy.
To be honest- I have the feeling that he just didn’t want to take part in the whole Netflix thing, last weekend.
We’ll see in January?
Looking the difference between Ham & Vet in S1... show that 0.45 Sec Bottas earlier in the season that was mentioning, something like: "No matter the track they always have around half a second on the straights on us..."
Dude I just had a cold this week and the first 2 days were agony...no energy, coughing out my lungs full of phlegm. Even if ham had a quarter of what I had, its enough to affect his pace. Remember hes driving a speed machine that requires absolute concentration, especially in wet and changing conditionsastracrazy wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 13:27It was a cold, but I bet when you have a cold you take tablets or medicine?

As he nearly did his own Netflex series I doubt that. But if you do some research, he has already said he doesn't expect to be in it as they didn't film him because he was ill.
don't get worried over it.... some just don't wanna hear it and those who think it isn't a big deal has driven a F1-Car all there life and had a cold with it aswell and still managed to finish 1st [IronyOff]cplchanb wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 14:10Dude I just had a cold this week and the first 2 days were agony...no energy, coughing out my lungs full of phlegm.

No he set that time on 12 lap old soft tyres during the first run, what surprised me is that neither Red Bull or Ferrari could beat that time on their second run on fresh soft tyres later in the session. Mercedes look like the team to beat on raw pace but its still early days.
Kinda agree. We need a rainy weekend to save some intrigue.matt_b wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 14:45No he set that time on 12 lap old soft tyres during the first run, what surprised me is that neither Red Bull or Ferrari could beat that time on their second run on fresh soft tyres later in the session.

Excellent point!rogazilla wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 15:02I do think Merc is the team to beat. However, people seem to forget that most team are still running their spec 1 on Friday and we start to see these spec 1 breaking down (renault in mclaren car, merc in bottas car). My opinion is that depends on the difference between spec 1 to their race spec at this point, the bigger difference between the spec, the larger improvement we will see between Friday and Saturday.
