Great grid for tomorrow. If Bottas puts up a fight with Hamilton like he did at Silverstone, could play into RB and Ferrari's hands.

Inquitus · 03-08-2019 03:10PM

Well done Max on your first F1 pole, exceptional driving! Hamilton defo not on top form, getting out qualified by Bottas. Should make for a good race tomorrow!

Rossi IRL · 03-08-2019 03:13PM

Don't like Verstappen but it is great to see him on pole.

The more variables the better for F1

BikeRacer · 03-08-2019 05:05PM

Just watching the highlights, did Lewis forget to enable DRS before the line in Q3 or was there an issue with the car?

Don't like his personality. Can be very petulant. But he's very entertaining on the track. Would love to see him really put it up to the mercs over the long term

Delighted to see something different. And hopefully the race will be something different too. It's better to watch a race (or even qualy) not knowing the likely winner.

Inquitus · 03-08-2019 06:22PM

Surely Gasly's days in the Red Bull have to be numbered, Kvyat was demoted and was a darn site better in comparison to Gasly, 8 tenths behind in the same machine is terrible, has to be unacceptable to Horner and co?

Issue with the DRS apparently, certainly explains some of the difference, although Merc confirmed it was only in S3 it didn't work.

We might have a repeat of 2017 on our hands tomorrow, remember 2017 when the Mercedes running 3-4 couldn’t go near the Ferrari’s due to overheating when they got close? The car was designed to be out in front, once Verstappen stays ahead into the first corner it should work out.

Aye well in Austria they had to knock off performance due to the heat, so if its hot in Hungary tomorrow they could defo have the same issues.

Russell knocked out in Q1 again but faster than both Racing Points, Daniel Ricciardo in the Renault and his teammate. Kubica was 1.3 seconds slower!

Ricciardo and Magnussen both aborted their final flying laps in Q1 so that's the only reason Russell finished where he did. P19 & 20 for Williams again tomorrow.
They can't sack Gasly mid season because there is nobody available who would be suitable to replace him. I think he is a good driver who will improve but Verstappen is driving so exceptionally well that anybody who happened to be his teammate at this moment would look inadequate by comparison.

Mercedes-Benz never stay still though, whenever a problem or flaw is found, they have the resources to fix it.
To use a sci-fi reference, they're like The Borg in Star Trek. Expose a weakness and it won't be there next time.

Charlie-Bravo · 03-08-2019 09:57PM

Helmut has said since last week that there'll be no driver changes for the rest of the year for both RB teams. Gasly can rest easy for the remaining races and concentrate on performing.

AMKC · 03-08-2019 10:34PM

Well done to George Russel and great lap by Max Verstappen. I did not like him when he came to the sport at first but am glad he is there now as the sport would be much duller without him and Red Bull. Hope they can keep challenging Mercedes for the rest of the season and keep them on there toes. They have had it too easy the last few years Mercedes.

Cool_CM · 04-08-2019 11:16AM

Great to see a Scumacher win at the Hungaroring again!

pjohnson · 04-08-2019 11:17AM

Ricciardo to P20. Renault have given him all new engine parts. Nothing really to loose since its in reality only a 2 place drop.

The cheers from the grandstand was crazy, and the photographer scrum. It was like something out of F1 not F2

Charlie-Bravo · 04-08-2019 11:21AM

Yeah, all the fans loving Mick's first F2 win. Nice seeing the orange Verstappen fans saluting the win also!

His personality is probably the reason he can reach this level of performance

supremenovice · 04-08-2019 12:32PM

I threw a fiver on Leclerc at 20/1. Looks too big. Russell is 150/1 to score points too, defo worth a throw-away fiver.

Save your money!
His personality seems pleasant and agreeable compared to some of his more experienced peers.

seamusk84 · 04-08-2019 01:56PM

I won’t be going to see that Captain America film next year, that guy was a jerk to Brundle!

Going to be an exciting start. Be great to see the Ferraris get in front of the Mercs! It could happen....maybe

Charlie-Bravo · 04-08-2019 02:04PM

Maybe he knows that Brundle is adick also, just confirming things as he said that he was a man of few words, and wasted about 30 secs. Two wrongs...

antodeco · 04-08-2019 02:11PM

Delighted with life. Just finished a 24 hour walk for charity and went to the local. 4 TVs and the large projector showing the race!

ScrubsfanChris · 04-08-2019 02:16PM

Max fiights off 2 Mercs to keep 1st, Gasly drops to 9th..........nuff said

Jordan 199 · 04-08-2019 02:16PM

Bad start for Bottas.

This is it · 04-08-2019 02:17PM

Great start from Max, disaster for Bottas.

skipper_G · 04-08-2019 02:18PM

Somewhere Ocon is laughing his arse off at Bottas' awful start. And speaking of bad starts Pierre Gasly everybody, take a bow.

ScrubsfanChris · 04-08-2019 02:23PM

LeClerc might be asked to let Vettel by soon, they're falling back.
