No, you just can't handle Red Bull are winning, that's the problem, you can see that with the childish names. It was only a couple of seasons ago that no one could get close to Mercedes.

Yes it was a joke what they did at the end.

So 1200 track limit offences meaning they couldn't police it in time during the race and produce a penalty.

In future they should just change the track limits to include the kerbs, that way atleast the drivers could feel it.

I stopped watching F1 after Max was gifted the title in 2021, and I don't miss it.
Personally any wheel over the white line should result in times being deleted.
I might go back when MV & CR leave.

After reading other posts elsewhere someone suggested a 2nd row of sensors further out then there wouldn't be any debate, if it beeps you get a penalty a human wouldn't have to be involved. The first row of sensors is currently used for MotorGP and the reason they don't have a sand trap there is it would be suicide for them.

They could have a gravel trap instead as the FIA asked for.

My understanding is the track didn't want it because of MotorGP, but they need something.

Daniel Ricciardo replaces Nyck de Vries at Alpha Tauri in F1 return and will race from the Hungarian Grand Prix on 23 July.

Lewis gets his first Pole since 2021 for the Hungarian GP, the McLaren upgrade seems the real deal and not just a fluke at the last race at Silverstone and Alpha Romeo is a bit of a surprise.

1) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
2) Max Verstappen, Red Bull
3) Lando Norris, McLaren
4) Oscar Piastri, McLaren
5) Zhou Guanyu, Alfa Romeo
6) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
7) Valtteri Bottas, Alfa Romeo
8) Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin
9) Sergio Perez, Red Bull
10) Nico Hulkenberg, Haas

Hopefully a good race tomorrow.

Alas, all the optimism gone in a mere few laps.

It was great seeing both Red Bulls being knocked out in Q2, there is a good chance of a grid penalty for 2 separate occasions where Max impeded other drivers.

I laughed so much I nearly peed myself, and hopefully he get a place drop for impeding another driver. But of course maFIA let him off warning, LH would have been given a grid drop, but of course they want him to win every race this year and this plays in to Red Bullies hand.

Oh well, I have just been given Netflix from VM so I be looking at that then

So if he's such a goat he should win then.

This will trigger you but......Unfortunately and unbelievably the stewards screwed up.... so no penalty.

It appears that the stewards did not formally invite an AlphaTauri representative to the hearing, as per normal procedure.

What a great finish to the race and a shame Russell screwed up on the last lap but a 4 car super close finish before that was fantastic to see and great none of them were a Red Bull!
