2019 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, August 2-4

Gasly in the Red Bull is a crime

That becomes more apparent with every race but RedBull seem unwilling to anything about it. It’s probably going to cost them 2nd in the WCC which makes it even more confusing.

Red Bull without Max nowhere they could've won 2 races and being on the podium..

Maybe so but the delta between the 2 cars SHOULD’T be that large consistantly a better driver in the second car could at least get near to try and take points off the Ferrraris

Today, Hamilton made the difference. Stayed with Verstappen throughout to force the strategy call., the two key moments were the superb laps after the first stop, where on any other track he'd probably have got past there and then, and the run to the end from the second stop.

Both drivers outperformed their cars and team mates today, and frankly the cars were pretty evenly matched on this circuit. Today Hamilton's racecraft and a clever call from the team made the difference.

Euhm no, his racecraft failed to get him past Max again as he admitted on the radio (what else can we do) in a car that is clearly still the best of the field. He needed a superb strategy call from the team and then admittedly very good racepace fully unlocking the W10, to finally pass him with DRS on far better tyres.

It's a team sport and today the Mercedes team won. It's not all about the drivers.

Leclerc continues his silly racing streak. The way he destroyed Valtteri's race and got away with it is simply unacceptable.
I think FIA should do something with that kind of things.

Yes LEC is really becoming a danger for safe racing, the way he acts these last races is unacceptable. The way he basically hit Bottas and got away with it (both penalty wise and puncture wise) for the second time in 2 races makes you wonder why the stewards love him so much

made me smile that result. Internet votes are so pointless these days.

Well at least we dutch go to races and buy tickets so stop nagging

There are hundreds of of thousands of British F1 supporters do travel to watch F1, but doesn't make a show like the dutch and neither spam the F1 website. Accept it.

yeah guessed you are a brit

it is Verstappen who is outperforming the car.

And i am a troll?
Redbull is the fastest car around the hungaroring. These are facts. They are superior is slow and medium speed.
The race was managed differently by the teams and drivers and the strategy caught them out.

What i must say is that it was critical that Hamilton dispatched Bottas at the start. Imagine if Bottas kept p2?
Easy win for max. Bottas would not have challenged him.

Agreed, that is what I am saying. But some people here are acting like VER was ‘beaten’ by HAM in driving skill which was obviously not the case. It is quite hypocritical when we make fun of the strategy guys when they mess up but not give credit when they get the win. HAM and Merc acknowledged it was the strategy guys today with their post race comments and Vowles on the podium.

I'm not nagging, I find it funny. Anyone who thinks these polls are anything other than gamed by single-interest groups is deluded - even national elections are gamed these days. No idea why media companies keep doing them.

nonsense to be honest like there are more formula 1 fans in the netherlands then in any other country who could suddenly take over the polls go to f1 and ask them who voted instead of spreading nonsense

Well- Poland did it once, with Kubica

On last Saturday- he did.

He did what the car was capable of. Period. Having a lousy team mate is not the reference to measure the car performance. Before you forget, Ric used to get poles and win races in the previous years with Red Bull.

Everyone in Poland went on the f1 polls and choose kubica ?

[Schuttelberg]

Need a new team mate for Hamilton and Verstappen and these three teams to be within a tenth of one another and all will be right with the world!

Harianto got it once. I have long ago stopped paying much attention to it. I do think Verstappen getting it today was quite reasonable, but he regularly gets it even when he hasn't been super special while others did. Having a lot of fans (including a block that's always for you, with not much criticism) is fun, but it's not an objective measure of who did the best on any single day.

The said it was ‘a technical glitch’...

[maxxer]

anyway race is over , now we will get another thread full of bullshit because their "team" or their "driver" and its always the same armchair drivers

[ringo]

Bottas is ok as a teammate. He drove ok apart from the contact with Leclerc.
Where as Gasly.. is just weak. Very weak driving. I think he has the ability but mentally he is not able to execute.

Kyvaat needs to be placed in the redbull for the rest of the year. Put Albon with Gasly at Torro Rosso. If Albon beats him.. then throw him out of F1.

Leclerc is starting to drive too desperately and his emotional behavior is starting to show. Poor weekend for Ferrari.

Vettel is ok, but helped by strategy by Ferrari to beat leclerc who has been the faster driver these past qualifying sessions.

In other teams good job by Kimi in the Alfa. Mclaren are doing really well with Sainz.. who i feel should be the next driver in the Ferrari.

This was a very good race with good quality driving and strategy. A contrast to last weeks lottery.
