F1 2024 - Round 13 - Budapest - Hungaroring

Max could be the greatest of all time, but he's too comfortable in a car that is better than everyone else's.

These complete tantrums when he's 'in the mix' are utterly ridiculous. He just comes across as a spoilt brat.

Tsunoda is making a good case for Checos replacement, he's now scored double the points Ricciardo has this season

Delighted for Piastri. Norris should've swapped earlier and then over taken him, but it is what it is. Clearly a very talented driver.

Ferrari did better than I expected. Unfortunately they're a bit behind McLaren and RB now, and probably behind Merc too. Hopefully some development can bring them back towards the front, fight for some podiums, and be there to pick up the pieces and nab a couple of wins with a bit of luck.

He only ended up P1 due to McLaren stupidly undercutting Piastri in P1 (undercut is famously strong in Hungary so literally everyone knew this would happen)

Piastri was comfortably P1 all race until then, like the previous poster mentioned if Lando thought he could have beaten Oscar on pace he should have given the position to back to Oscar after his pit stop, instead he just started ignoring the team radio and got greedy.

The root of all this is really the McLaren pitwall who have somehow managed to make a weekend where they secured a 1-2 in qualifying and converted it on race day feel like an uneasy weekend for the team when it should have been jubilation, the team radios were cringey at the end.

Could Lando have done with the extra 7 points in his loooong odds of a chance of catching Max in the constructors? Sure, but he can blame his antics at Austria before that. Like the team radios were saying it’s a team game, Lando lost sight of that today for a bit today which is not a good look IMO.

Does anyone know what exactly was agreed pre-race for the McLaren drivers? I'm getting a sense that they were free to race up until lap 40-odd?

But to hold formation thereafter? When was the second stop?

**** you Mclaren you have a traiter driving fir you. What a **** race. I wish Mclaren nothing but bad luck from here in in all of them.

Yeah I'm parking mine up too.

McLaren have solidified themselves in the top 3 I think. Two very good drivers and now the car is in a very competitive place.

It will be interesting to see if there's more developments to come from RedBull. If there isn't Max will be forced to race harder and by the looks of it, will inevitably have more DNFs.

AMKC sees a baby being pushed around in a Maclaren stroller. AMKC kicks the baby.

This.

Max was not his best today, but all teams and drivers have days like this. Sky love to twist the knife more on it when they can.

Max is competitive, he is really like Schumacher in that he will do anything to win, that is why I like him, competitive animal and he really won’t care what people think or say about him. Drivers don’t care about popularity, they just care about winning.

As for McLaren, that was a messy situation all over, I’m sure they will handle it better in the future if they can. It’s a nice place to be though, they were out and out the fastest over the whole weekend.
