2019 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, August 2-4

Hamilton didn't have DRS after last turn. I wonder if he had it during first sector.

I only have one question.

Do Red Bull still want to change the tires this year?

Why of course not, that would be silly now :>

Grojean, Old aero beats mags new aero.

I’ve seen a few references to this now. Did it stay closed all the way to the line?

Yes, just watched it again.

[Sierra117]

Well that's a shame. He does like to control it manually, so possible he forgot or his thumb slipped and didn't press the button enough?

[Pyrone89]

Now, for the love of good please a good start by both Red Bulls and not another Hockenheim or Austria style start

Yes, just watched it again.

Wow. Is that a question of him forgetting to activate or activating and not getting it?

I find it hard to believe that he just forgot it, but it can happen of course.

I'm really curious to find out. Also, if somehow we could watch his first sector it would help a lot.

Not really KMag Q1 laptimes would have easily got him intp Q3 and P9. The car is as unpredictable as their former owner's twitter feed. The track was ramping up but somehow Kmag just couldnt switch them in Q2. He should have outqualified Gasly here.

Merc party mode incoming in 3 2 1....

Keep counting until after the summer. Told ya so.

Ofcourse the Merc is still the better package but RBR is comming closer and surely not 1 second off on Any track anymore (like you were claiming in The Germany thread still).

Tomorrow we will see another great race

Congratulations to Max for his first pole!

Mercedes was considered clear favorites on this track, also before they introduced their big upgrade package which reportedly worked. Even more amazing that they lost today.
That was a stellar lap from Max. The Red Bull seems to start working more and more, but I’m sure Verstappen’s skills played a big role in addition to that.

Verstappen indeed did say he left next to nothing on the table. He also said that that is easy to claim when you have pole, but he is always frank when asked about these things. I only saw a little correction in the final turn, but there your tires are almost done of course.

Mercedes already had a clean sweep of like 8 races before they got to grip with it (admittedly, also losing their FW concept (in combination with high rake) played an even bigger role in that).
