Le FP3 of the Hungarian GP 2023 they end with the best performance by Lewis Hamilton who finishes ahead of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
FP3 of Hungary: tests for the new qualifications
Le FP3 begin under the sun, with a track that is still damp and no longer rubberised due to last night's rain. The pilots leave with the medium, except Magnussen what a head bitchy. Medium fresh for almost everyone: Sainz e Leclerc they run on those used already yesterday, during FP2. We will also see some pilots on white because of the new qualification format: hard in Q1, medium in Q2 and soft in Q3 for everyone. Soon Sainz the Mint difficulties due to strong wind, especially that lateral, which causes one compensation for ground effect of these cars, doing lose load aerodynamic. The your shape of urethane di PerezInstead, they don't get cold on this asphalt where the temperature is 45°.
All eyes on the Alfa Romeos, the McLarens and on Perez
Very soon Piastres su McLaren è provisionally third: a McLaren who had a rebirth incredible. We remember that Perez is in risk of dismissal at the end of the season, to probable advantage di Ricciardo… Relative advantage, perhaps having to return to being Verstappen's co-driver. And the fact that halfway through FP3 Perez was lapping the Ferraris' times is once again worrying, while Max is temporarily first. Eyes on also on Alfa Romeo, since yesterday Bottas and Zhou they started making some great times.
Twists
In the meantime there is Charles Leclerc and goes off track momentarily and has to give up a ride… With a Piastres which marks a second fastest sector of all, despite having dropped to fifth position. And then it's time to Magnussen in doing instead the first fastest sector, just in time before one fleeting yellow flag since second sector for a long of Hamilton.
Then a some pilots they try them white tires: tsunoda, Stroll e Ricciardo. And Alonso on bitchy marks the first time provisional. In the meantime we would like to point out a drop with Classic Ferrari for sale di Leclerc e Sainz respectively sixteenth is… Twentieth. NorrisInstead, while trailing dangerously a couple of times, he puts himself temporarily first on a very advanced track, now rubberized. First place soon replaced by un Hamilton on the reds. And eight times poleman and winner of the Hungarian GP! He immediately tries to overcome it, needless to say, Verstappen, but finds traffic in the second sector. However, it marks the best first sector of the grid. AND Leclerc drops in seventeenth position… The Ferraris then return to the pits
But Ferraris?
Sainz e Leclerc they get back on track, but the first è in distress because of one tear-off visor stuck on the pylon of its rear wing. He still manages to do a good ride, with a first “fuchsia” sector, which Magnussen, however, takes away from it. Leclerc improves further, so the Classic Ferrari for sale they become momentarily sixth and seventh. Magnussenhowever, it remains fifteenth, despite the remarkable first sector of his tour.
In the last two minutes of these FP3s, many riders try to improve further. Sainz did not improve and remained eighth, where he had dropped shortly before, Perez improved, but remained third. Ricciardo tries to start from the pit lane, but in order not to impede a driver who was passing on the straight, he risks hitting Zhou in the back. Excellent reflexes, though. After which the traditional starting-from-the-grid test session begins for many drivers. Very quiet and without impeding.
