Looking forward to seeing how Danny Ric gets on and how he compares to Yuki. Also, how close will the McLaren boys be to Max I wonder.

I want Alpine to have a trouble free weekend. Also crucial both drivers get into Q3.

For whomever finds it useful. The Tyre Info.

The weekend is also going to be live on Sky Sports Mix and Sky Showcase, albeit with, what some might call, improved commentary.

Brilliant :) . You just made my week and my weekend. Don't anyone jinx it or I will kill you. Was just thinking would love to see this live especially with Danny back. Just had one great weekend of racing with Formula E and got another to look forward to great.

Andrew76

So apparently ATA (Alternative Tyre Allocation) will be in force this weekend for qualifying (assuming it stays dry):

Q1 - hard tyres only

Q2 - meejums only

Q3 - softs only

Supposedly gives more strategy options and will be tried again at Monza.

We have a Paul di Resta fan here 😉

Lol not a chance. 😁

Pic taken from racingnews365 showing the upgraded sidepod inlet on the Red Bull - much flatter looking.

So Merc were actually onto something with the zero pod idea...they just had it angled wrong

PsychoPete

Toto will have a meltdown if RB goes full no sidepods and end up even faster

The leading edge is effectively a wing now...

That’s so interesting to see how it’s evolved over the season. Can’t wait to see it in action in FP1 tomorrow.

Jordan 199

Look at that front wing on the Alpine:

Hijpo

That's severe

McFly85

Afternoon all

KillerShamrock

will most likely be another max snooze fest with him saying that was just lovely at the end.

If those redbull upgrades work and they will! I can honestly see max absolutely destroying the field to an even more embarrassing level than he did in Austria with the pace he has in hand in that car. Checo better preform or it will probably be his last hungaro ring race in a redbull.

Should be a battle with Merc, Aston and hopefully Mclaren in the only exciting part of the year the best of the rest championship. Not including Ferrari as they are just going backwards maybe they will be passed by Danny and Yuki this race.

Andrew76

FP1 just started, going to be a dry session it looks like. Let’s see how Danny Ric gets on.

Andrew76

Jesus. Perez into the barriers already!!

Session red flagged.

McFly85

Good God Checo.

Andrew76

He dipped a wheel onto the grass, driver error.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Didn't last 3 minutes.

Dave0301

Jaysus...he is literally throwing his seat away.

Andrew76

Photographer getting some more amazing pics of the Red Bull floor there as they lift it over the barriers. Horner looking pissed, rightly so.

Andrew76

Here comes the rain?

Very nice. Make sure you won't go hungry in Hungary.

LIGHTNING

Oh lovely we have Danica on comms for P1, she barely knows any of the names. Thought they only had her for the US rounds.

Jordan 199

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120879381#Comment_120879381

So did I. Maybe she was hungry for a visit to Hungary.

MadYaker

Checo bins it in fp1. Off to a great start!

McFly85

You’re hungry for a Hungary pun😅

Andrew76

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120879381#Comment_120879381

Yeah surprised she’s here this weekend. Alex Brundle would be a decent replacement to her in the commentary box.

Bit of a non session this with the heavier rain.

LIGHTNING

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120879479#Comment_120879479

Yeah I do like Alex shame he isn't here. Instead we got to listen to Danica babble on.

LIGHTNING

Anyways with the rain down I suspect that's the end of the running.

flazio

Alex works for a different company (F1TV)

Checo might just have saved the championship entertainment value for after the summer break if the rival teams work hard enough on the floor data.

Starving for them.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Sainz beached on the grass/curb and the stewards now trying to push him off. No damage after a spin.

EDIT: end-plate on wing damaged.

PsychoPete

Stupid mistake from Checo! Drive to survive are going to have an absolute ball with the drama at RB

Just saw a picture on the BBC and it looked more damage than that? Ignore me, I thought you were on about Checo.

AMKC

Hows Daniel doing or how did he do in FP1.

Busi_Girl08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120880204#Comment_120880204

He barely got the car out really, but the short glimpse he looked confident enough. He and Yuki classified 14th and 12th respectively.

AMKC

Awe OK. Why not? and thank you.

Hijpo

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120880473#Comment_120880473

Not sure, red flag and rain meant he didn't set a representative time. Same as Hamilton, Verstappen and a hand full of others.

Currently on medium tyre sitting 18th 1.59s off Tsunodas time who is top with a 1:17:934 on the softs.

Hijpo

Perez with a big lock up, throw those softs in the bin

LIGHTNING

What is this F1 Junior commentary stuff. Congrats Sky you have managed to find folks even more irritating than Ted. Impressive feat

Yep I thought I was watching Nickelodeon F1.

They are looking for a Ted replacement when he retires 😄

Awe OK from the Perez crash.

Andrew76

This is a great video for anyone interested in the upgrades to the Red Bull (those that we can see anyway). Lots of nice close up shots.
