Poll: Official 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Thread - Hungaroring, Budapest - Race 13/24

[Psycho Ned]

Wish this season had started 6 rounds in, would have had a bloody brilliant title battle.

 

[Mr Jack]

I am not understanding this Red Bull strategy. Didn’t look like the strategy engineer did either.

Maybe going for MHM rather than MHH?

 

[SpartaP]

Lewis is looking racy

 

[utajoker]

Hamiltons pace looks good

 

[chrismscotland]

Kind of mad that my reaction to a 3s stop for Max is "oh! Bad stop". F1 is an insane sport.

I don't think it helps that David Croft has a massive hard-on any time a Brit driver does anything remotely good.

I know right, hopefully the competition is this close at the start of next season

Got to give a big hand to Kick Sauber for managing 2.7s and 2.8s stops so far. It’s a big improvement over the previous 5 working days time requirement.

I wouldn't know, F1 is my semi-regular German lesson

 

[Mesai]

Forgot how dull this track could be. One corner of action so far.

 

[Tigget]

This is not a good race, no two ways about it. Hopefully picks up in the final third..

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

What lap do we think Perez will crash on? Lap 48 is my prediction.

 

[Stu999]

I hope that drone crashes into the DHL bridge.

 

[Tigget]

At this point I think he’d have to crash coming into the pit lane for it to become anymore embarrassing..

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Agreed, it looked cool for that drone shot, once. I don’t care for it.

 

[Stu999]

Has Sainz put 6 seconds on Tsunoda in about 3 laps?

Always been an interesting one that this GP seems to be untouchable on the F1 calendar, in this modern era where Liberty are going for big flashy gliz and glamour races that a dull old spit and sawdust track in Hungary has survived on the calendar for like 40 years!

Spa always seems to be on the chopping block but this one never.

I'm not far off doing something like that myself to avoid listening to him!

Pins the throttle to pull away from the stop, rear end loses traction and spears into the pit wall right underneath the red bull pratt perch.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

That earlier radio message from Albon. He’s so polite, but you can tell he wasn’t amused in the slightest.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Russell’s tyres looking absolutely shredded.
