In the Hungarian Grand Prix, in which a Ferrari was expected to be the protagonist, we saw a super Red Bull and a huge Mercedes. In fact, Max wins Verstappen which concludes in front of Lewis' two silver arrows Hamilton and George Russell.
Majestic strategy
A wonderful feat by Max Verstappen. With the new power unit and, having started tenth, the Dutchman managed a super comeback following an incredible comeback. To triumph, in the box of Austrian team, was the strategy: started on the soft tires, a double pit was needed with the yellow tires to move up and gain many positions, which allowed him to gain first position. A another victory which is really worth a lot for the world championship... perhaps too much.
The Hungary of defeat
A disaster. It's difficult to say anything else to describe what happened at home Ferrari. Once again the strategy was not good at all. On Leclerc's car, after the yellow tyre, the white tire was fitted, and it was precisely this choice that influenced the Monegasque's race. The grip with the hard tires was totally absent. Total defeat in this respect for the Maranello team which, at the third pit stop, chose to fit the soft tire on the F1-75, which moved Leclerc to sixth place in the standings.
Alpine 2-0 McLaren
However, he continues very well, even if he is suffering today, Alpine controls fourth place in the constructors' category. Despite the choice to mount the white one, the two riders of the French team they finished in the points with Alonso's eighth place and Ocon's ninth. As far as the Alpine has chosen to mount the white one, which did not perform, there was still a justification: the strategy it was in fact a stopover. McLaren still loses points, despite the seventh place for Lando Norris. The problems in fact concern Daniel Ricciardo who doesn't go beyond fifteenth place.
Shooting signals
Try to recover, and continue to have a good pace in the race, theAston Martin with tenth position for Sebastian Vettel and eleventh for Lance Stroll. The two Aston drivers hope that this could be the race of the restart, with the updates which, at least in the race, seem to give the desired results.
The bottom of the Hungarian GP
Haas is still not doing well with the fourteenth position for Schumacher and sixteenth for Magnussen. The two of the American team finish their race in front of the two Williams of Albon and Latifi. Last place Yuki Tsunoda, with an AlphaTauri that continues to sink.
Thus ends the Hungarian Grand Prix. The long-awaited rain didn't arrive in the end, but there was no shortage of spectacle. Formula One it stops for the three-week summer break and is ready to return with the Belgian GP at the end of August.
