still cannot believe that McLaren when they were the only ones with new mediums, did not put Lando on them.
Unbelievable

"Do you want mediums to cover off verstappen or softs to cover off lewis?"
What a terrible radio message. Sack them all
By FortuneFaded Go To Postmarkao m8. You should capitalize the Sir in the title, it's not a dutch name.My autocorrect did indeed do that, but done ;)
By KP Go To Post"Do you want mediums to cover off verstappen or softs to cover off lewis?"Maybe good stop would have kept Lando just ahead.
What a terrible radio message. Sack them all
But even than, pick the fastest option. Reds were only good for 7/8 laps and you need to manage them massively to extend stint.
McLaren not top team yet, could have won 3/4 more races in last month plus
By KP Go To Post"Do you want mediums to cover off verstappen or softs to cover off lewis?"They did the same with him at Sochi too.
What a terrible radio message. Sack them all
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThey did the same with him at Sochi too.That was worse imo
Lewis wasn't racing Lando that race and the moment Max pitted for rain tires, you always knew Merc would cover that.
Should have been easiest call in history, but McL missed that completely and messed it up.
Race result (provi):
Oscar threw away 17/18 secs by not double stacking, lot of "what if my auntie had ...." stories today.

By FortuneFaded Go To Post🏴 Hamilton beating 🇳🇱 Verstappen is just a preview of what's going to happen on Wednesday.3 vs 1 and getting all cocky. Lets hope for your lads that Gareth wasn't inspired by the McLaren tactics in this race.
Standings:
Any money on how long Sergio will keep ahead of the Mercedes boys :ouch:
Great win for Lewis yesterday. Love to see that it happened at Silverstone too. If there’s any cool track for Lewis to win again after a long streak without it’s there. Otherwise happy McLaren decided to help Max a little yesterday with their strategy choices. During the first stint I felt like 5/6th would be the best possible outcome.

That is actually very surprising. He was married for years. His wife was a minor celeb in germany.
Good for him though. Shame he had to live a lie for so long.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostGood. Washed up driver. Drives like an asshole too.
Promising youngster never really showed that potential and looked good for a while when coming back but Hulk a year later put that in perspective. Would not say asshole driver, but always pushes to the extreme limit and at times it seams so unnecessary (back of the field). But at same time he accept when you drive the same as he does, does not whine about it.
.... last time he left was the right time to go, now it is overdue and good to see another new driver on the grid.
RaceWeek: R13 Hungaroring in Budapest
After colder British summer and front-limited track we are now at middle European hot summer more rear-limited track (overheating tires). Been to close last few weeks to out right cal it, but
- RBR big rushed upgrade, only one available, so has to work for them and deliver big lap time gains otherwise 2nd half season will be tough for them
- McLaren, rear limited should suit them more than Silverstone, wonder if Oscar made steps in rear tire control (was really weak here last year).
- Mercedes, hotter temps and rear limited, good test case to see if they made steps in that department.
- Ferrari, after high speed (bouncing) troubles this track should suit them more (only 1 real high speed). So back to fighting for 3rd/4th best as I cannot see them troubling McL/Max.
- Midfield VCarb might be glad less high speed corners (does update work here?), Aston with big update to fix some issues, if back to 5th best?
As mentioned 31/32 degrees sunny in Budapest, so max cooling for all and overheating tires/breaks as the big challenge and that might throw some teams off.

George at the final with his Spanish girlfriend
Love how former Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer is also casually in this shot
By Linius Go To PostLove how former Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer is also casually in this shotI think that might be current Brentford manager Thomas Frank too
By Linius Go To PostEsteemed collective of premier league managersnow free tickets as annalists?
RBR20 top shoulders no more, copying Merc was bad idea after all, Side pots/body all different by the looks of it
FP1:
Ferrari- H/S
RBR-S/S
McL & Merc M/S
Longrun end, Charles on hards looked only one to control the drop off. In these temps the tire to race on? ... will see better in FP2.

red flag FP2 and no running right now, as Charles :oopsy: his T4 off also damaged the guardrail....and fixed
FP2
McL used a hard tire, so now on par with Ferrari, so likely m-h-m (or 1 stop)?. Merc used another set of the mediums, as did RBR so they want to save the hard tire for the race, so M-H-H? (unless someone thinks they can use a soft tire with these temps)
- Single lap Lando look hooked, Oscar was struggling to keep up and over driving a bit imo
- All looked OK for Max (small error T2/3) ans lost bit last 2 corners, Sergio surprisingly on it today and long runs mediums fastest (McL on hards) of the three
- Merc bit further back with this track temp and Ferrari a bit closer than last few races, so more of a fight between them? Charles was pushing to hard, had few moments in the laps before and finally over did it
longrun data:
Zhou off in T4 like Charles and almost collecting Sergio

FP3:
Overcast, still warm but track not as hot today.
- RBR H/S and Aston M/S, rest double quali runs
- Aston Q-run, yellow flag, so more time for them (also p4/..... range imo)
McL still look really good, Oscar found time in A1 and closed gap a little (Lando slight error final corner 0.1). And can only see Max getting close, as gap is probably smaller due to RBR only doing one run in last 10 mins, they did long run on the hard today.
Field so close after top 3 that Q1, but more so Q2 could trow some surprises

Ha been a lite drizzle for a while in Budapest, inters? Shame rain stopped, so probably will be dry very quickly if not already dry enough.
