From one of the commentators, apparently RB is still 0.4 secs faster than mercedes on race pace, and a full second faster than Ferrari.

Plus RB historically does not do well at Hungary, RUS got pole last year as well, but Max still won the race while doing a 360.

Checo with his crash was RB's game breaker of the weekend . They couldn't store the necessary new data from the new upgrades because Checo's car didn't ran enough.

The (lack)! of data was translated today through the QF . That's why the RB19 balance was a joke today .
MAX said : I can't fight the turns like I did it before ...
And the DRS isn't powerfull at this track ..

Let's see what MAX can do in the race with a shitty balance

I mean, Max started P10 last year and cut through the field when overtaking is supposed to be hard lol.

Some facts :

MAX got very 'bad starts in the last 2 races by extreme wheel spin .
Marko said : That's MAX's fault by a bad clutch timing by releasing it too quickly .
Hope RB and MAX fixed the issue. Otherwise LEW is gone in T1 !

A RB Undercut ?
Sure . If they get the chance .The timing from Hannah Schmitz nails it as usual ...

The McLaren's are very fast , but I'm pretty sure this race is "LEW vs MAX" !
The good old times are back . But this means things can go wrong at any moment ...
MAX hasn't forgotten it yet how it feels like to be rammed with 51G in the wall at Silverstone in the Copse turn !
An eye for an eye ...

On the other hand : MAX's advantage is that he has nothing to lose ..

May the best win this race ....
Can't wait to see that !

^ MAX is still the favourite to win tomorrow and as you say Hannah will turn it for Max if all else fails . LEW for sure won't give an inch and will treat it like Monaco should he remain first after the start but Wolf team messed up RUS's Q big time so capable of the same with 44 car.

I know . I've watched all the F1 races in the last 5 years (more than once)!

Some say : MAX is the driver of the century.
Last week the Internet said : MAX is a phenomenon with extraterrestrial racing skills ..

What Lauda said ..

[M3WC]

Repeat of last year, where Merc was quick at the Hungary go-kart track.

If I remember correctly Russell was on pole last year. Merc finished 2-3.

Wolff : I want with LEW make MAX's (F1) life miserable. (It will be fun)!

I'm pretty sure , Wolff is the #ButtHurt record holder !

Tots' team boss crown has slowly toppled off when he started bitching non stop at Horner since Abu Dhabi 2021 and with LEW's first pole since then will get him going even worse.
It's about time Sulayem stepped in and sorted Wolff out with fines and warnings for conduct unbecoming, like they do at football matches for egregious managers standing on the line.

not sure what to make of the top 10, didn't expect half the guys there to be there, or in that order. McLaren is up there there two races in a row now, did not expect that. Merc, so far a one off, might just be the track that suits them. forgot where Perez finished.

though quali is very different to race, will be keeping an eye out on youtube to see what happened in quali. maybe it was the tyre format.

commentators say this is not a HP dependent track, and that nobody overtakes here other than max

so will we see a procession or what, since sprinklers are not scheduled

[G30M]

replay side by side comparison shows the Merc was at 100% track limits and the rear end was very unstable in the corners, while the RB was just taking a sunday morning drive hardly near track limits

[Car-Addicted]

Lets not forget to give a very honorable mention to Adrian Newey.
While I'm at it, Christian Horner is one of the most successful team principals.
Remember this is a Team Sport.

MAX in a Haas is a mid pack player.

2 words, Adrian Newey. for Merc fans, those 2 words are cost cap. for me I just interested in watching racing. not much of that since 2021, or prior to 2021.

Max has already driven inferior cars and got it on the podium.

[TheBingoBalls]

Max has already driven inferior cars and got it on the podium.

So has HAM/RUS with a car that has no business being on the podium on paper. The point is, people singling out one thing as being responsible for success is just nonsense. It takes an entire team from driver, to mechanics, engineers, pit crew, etc. to win. Anyone that says otherwise is just trying to troll.

Congrats to sir 44, hope it means a great race tomorrow!

Killing me to see Aston/Alonso dropping like this though. They've dropped like a rock since Canada.
