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.

Verstappen under the same kind of pressure as Perez has been in several qualis before. Let’s see how he responds

Refreshing to see. But let’s be honest. He’s on a completely different level. From driving skills to mental strength.

Best car, too, but I think the gap has closed a bit. Best car + best driver = Max always ruining everything for everyone ;-)

His headspace hasn’t really been tested this season because his car and driving skills have put him so far ahead in most races

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.

It is because he has little to lose that he won’t.

HAM-VER-BOT, just like the good ol’ days!

I’m not mad about Norris ahead of all of them, though

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.

They have not brought any updates this weekend. Their sudden pace is a mystery

Apparently they‘ve got fresh engines this weekend. Let’s hope they can keep up 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
