Poll: Hungarian Grand Prix 2020, Budapest - Race 3/?

[vanpeebles]

Well that was duff, we live in hope for a proper wet race.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Ugh. Bottas not fast enough.

Great fun at the start but this race really needed another 15 mins of rain somewhere in the middle.

Bottas never is in changeable conditions.

 

[Quartz]

Bottas just not quite good enough.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen wins driver of the day, even though he splatted the car on the way to the grid.

 

[Flibster]

6 wins to go.

No TrophyBots™ here this weekend. They've used the podium throughout.

 

[Mr Jack]

Wow. Incredible pace from Lewis.

But today was all about the heroics from Magnussen, Stroll, and Verstappen. Another dire race from Albon even without the grid drying antics. Forgettable from Leclerc, and Williams promise from Quali quickly dried up. Ricciardo and Vettel delivered solid results for their team.

What happened to McLaren today?

What happened to McLaren today?

Sainz has a point, Norris got stuffed at the first pit stop, had to be held to prevent a unsafe release.

Nope. Not really sure why they pitted him though.

Aye, Sainz has a point, but McLaren were brilliant in Austria.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

They knew he wouldn’t be able to overtake.

 

[Steampunk]

It's not that Mercedes is unbeatable. A Red Bull beat a Mercedes today, but Hamilton in a Mercedes is mostly unbeatable. That's where the bar is set for car and driver.

If Botas was the only driver in the Merc Team, I dont think he would win the championship this year.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Great job from Hamilton and Verstappen more so.

I still hate the Hungaroring though.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Bottas looks crushed already. A DNF could still change things with so few races, but Hamilton is tough to beat when he’s on a roll.

 

[Participant]

I know this isn't a huge deal in the scheme of things, but the BBC editors never check their work.

Let's hear it for Stroll. Yes, it was an unexciting drive (I missed the first 20 or so laps), but a solid one and he fended off Vettel. It must be very difficult for him given all the stuff that's slung his way.

Consistently faster than his teammate too. Good job.

Sky ask Horner about the drying of Albon's pit box, he sounded as guilty as a puppy looks when sat next to a pile of poo.

Have the stewards given a decision yet? Is he looking at disqualification?

I didn't see it myself but Sky said it looked really obvious.

Nothing yet. Been under an hour since the team was summoned to the stewards.
