2019 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, August 2-4

Dont forget stroopwafel,

Ooh, I do like a stroopwafel!

Good isnt it? I do however wonder if it is soldinternationally like Dutch cheese is.

Here in Berlin one can buy it, at some places even in original Dutch packaging, but some supermarkets nowadays also have it (called 'Karamelwaffeln' or some such). Remains great when let to heat up above a warm mug of tea/coffee/chocolate.

further-OT:
By the way (further off topic, sorry) I'll allow Frikadel is I can have the recently introduced vegan version: since it's unclear what, if any, meat is in the regular one, and with taste well mimicked, I would prefer to know there is no meat. Kroketten that are not made of potato would be nice, but, for now I'll just eat those when I am back in NL, as a treat.

Glad to see they at least got down to low 1:16s so far, the clouds look like rain might come soon. Not sure whether to lower my pole prediction, or go for 'rain expected' increased value - though that's usually rather volatile, and thus useless.

Genuinely suprised Ferrari is so competitive here so far

[Pyrone89]

Jesus RB is burning through new softs already in P3. 3 new sets so far

[bosyber]

Pole is important here, so makes sense to practice well I suppose (not sure how many sets they have total though - mediums in Q2?)

Anyway, Verstappen fastest for now, so guess that worked?

Mercedes was going way faster but aborted laps. Vettel had major traffic in sector 2 in his lap.

So far it still looks advantage Merc, with Ferrari and MV fighting for 3rd. Gasly useless as always

[101FlyingDutchman]

3rd set is extra due to rain yesterday.

[bosyber]

Right, of course, that makes sense - they have an extra set left indeed.

edit:
Well, that's close at the top; if we have that in Q3, that would be great. Also, Ferrari still looking more competitive than I expected, good.

Though having said that: what are the chances of rain between now and then? Would be very F1 if rain disrupts a so-close looking qualifying!

fp3

[bosyber]

So does that once again show Hamilton's Mercedes keeping its soft tyres in the window the best for the last sector, but thus losing out in S1 (apart from Ferrari top speed, also to Verstappen's Red Bull)?

hamilton's new track record 1:16.084
(i know there's a 1.15.5 from testing, but not an official session).

we are going to see mid to low 1.14 i guess during Q3 ... if the conditions stays as they were

[auv]

Max just devilishly squeezes the speed out of the car, but he has to do even more to overcome Merc's "party mode" in Q3.

ham vs ver fp3 - that T1 lockup has cost verstappen around 2 tenths. He's 0.08 ahead coming into T1, but more than 0.1s behind after bridge

Thanks for the video! What year did they set a 1.15.5 in testing and with what car?
