We're in the 13th round of the season, which means only one thing: there's no turning back from here and there's no more time for mistakes. Red Bull e Ferrari they are divided by several points and although this cannot be the occasion to definitively get back on par Hungary it is one of those crucial stages for the fate of the World Cup. The Rossa arrives at the Hungaroring as a great favorite given the track layout that enhances the qualities of the F1-75. Charles and Sainz have to get back on track though to aspire to a difficult, but not impossible, brace. On the other hand, the climate at Red Bull is certainly less dramatic but still tense and excited. Taking a win here would be proof that the RB18 is now ever closer to supremacy.
Thanks Seb
The press conference that opens the weekend in Hungary, the last round of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship before the summer break, is a bit anomalous. The first question that is asked of all the riders in the ring and in the press room concerns the officiality of training camp by Sebastian Vettel arrived this morning. The German 4 times world champion will leave the Circus at the end of the season, after a not exactly simple cycle with theAston Martin.
"Vettel was an example, even when I wasn't here in F1"- says Sainz in conference printing. “A positive model for this sport and for all young people. Everyone loves him in the paddock and this speaks volumes about his value as a man and not just as a rider. He has spoken out on some topics and I hope he continues to do so.”
Sainz, goal to win
Carlos Sainz's ambitions continue to grow in step with his feeling with the F1-75, strong on every track. Even in France in fact, despite the out of Leclerc Ferrari has taken positive signals. Signals that Sainz, author of a great comeback just a week ago at Paul Ricard, wants to exploit in the fight for victory. “What race will it be in Hungary? This year we have been competitive everywhere, I always arrive at the circuit thinking I can win. We all aspire to have clean weekends, we have a competitive car but we also have weaknesses to address in terms of reliability. But many races are missing and between now and the end of the season so many things can happen in the battle for the top. Everything is still at stake and you can't give up".
As Carlos says, really anything can happen, even in Hungary, where even the rain could arrive and make the weekend more unpredictable!
