Formula 1 returns after the week's break. We fly on the Hungaroring track, for the Hungarian Grand Prix. A very important stage, which brings the summer break scheduled for two weeks ever closer.
Ferrari wants redemption
It will be a very interesting weekend to understand what evolution will take place at home Ferrari. From what filters through, it seems from Maranello There shouldn't be any big updates coming and the objective is undoubtedly to try to give continuity to what has been seen both in Canada and in Austria. In the last GP, with precision Silverstone, there was a false step which the Red hopes to soon be able to forget. The ninth and tenth positions of Leclerc and Sainz must be a shock, considering that the characteristics of the track of the Hungarian GP can give hope to the SF-23.
Mercedes and McLaren: will confirmations arrive?
He will be looking for confirmation, and not redemption as in the case of Ferrari Mercedes. The Brackley team, despite not having convinced on the flying lap at Silverstone, was able to optimize the W-14 package ahead of the race, in which the pace shown earned Lewis the podium Hamilton. The seven-time world champion indeed climbed to the last step of the podium, together to the undisputed Verstappen and Norris' McLaren. And it is the papaya team that will have the spotlight on them for the Hungarian GP. The updates brought to the MCL60 have allowed Piastri and Norris to be the second force on the track, but to make it clear that the great performance is not linked to the layout of the track, confirmation is needed in Hungary which is not guaranteed to arrive.
Ricciardo's return
The Hungaroring weekend also presents us with Daniel's return to the track Ricciardo. The Australian driver took over from Nyck De Vries at AlphaTauri last week. His goal is very simple: being able to revive the fortunes of a team that is experiencing a very complicated season. He certainly won't be asked for the top ten every weekend, but at least to avoid the clear gap seen between De Vries and teammate Yuki Tsunoda.
