I'm so happy that McLaren is keeping form. In the F1TV commentary they said that they (McLaren) were not expecting much from the Hungaroring, but Norris made it into third with Piastri keeping up in fourth!

This bodes well for the rest of the season if the papaya is good on fast AND slow tracks. Lando needs a win and Piastri a podium!

Edit: I'm also stoked at the consistency taking P3 & P4.

Glad to see Perez's Q3 drought finally end.

Edit: Err P9 isn't all that particularly impressive though.

Do we know what they did to those Alfas to make them this fast?

edit: from what I gather they just have fresh engines for this race while most of the rest of the grid do not

I didn’t think Hugary was that power dependant of a track? Maybe this just shows how close the field (except for Verstappen) really is. Let‘s see if they can keep up during the race.

I think this is more due to such a short circuit leading to really close times. I think we would have had the same mix up in a regular format.

Yeah, but in all fairness you have to say that he left more space to the car in front than many others. No wonder other drivers jumped him.

Wouldn't mind some actual drama and rivalries instead of whatever Netflix manages to fabricate. Since Abu Dhabi 2021 everybody has been super okelidokeli friendly with one another. And while I do also like seeing that, it doesn't exactly get the heart pumping during the race. At least Ocon is still a proper cunt, otherwise you could start calling this Barbiela 1.

And nothing will be changed. The gentlemen's agreement regarding setup position in qualifying is a joke since many years. Nearly everyone is fuming about the others but isn't acting good on the other side. It's what you get in this competitive egocentric sports format.

Thrilled for Hamilton to get at least one pole this season.

If someone other than red bull wins a race this year. It would be great if it could be Hamilton.

With how hard passing is here, a victory doesn't seem impossible (as long as he and Max can avoid taking each other out turn one).

Agreed! A great performance by Hamilton! It’ll be interesting to see how Max behaves into turn 1 trying to catch Hamilton. Has he learned since 2021?

I would hope that because Max has very little to lose he will be a lot kinder on the start tomorrow. Then again those two can be so spicy.

Did Alfa Romeo bring any upgrades to Hungary that would explain their sudden increase in pace? Seriously hoping they can keep it in the front during the race.

Well it's not like Hungary is a power sensetive circuit. I feel it's more likely because the circuit characteristics suiting them + them absolutely nailing their setup
