This is a HUGE one after Silverstone. For several reasons.

Hard to follow and overtake here. I expect some sparks regardless. Verstappen will be LOADED and the Hungaroring is one of Hamilton's best tracks.

The 2nd drivers will be the deciding factor this week, IMO.

It will be exciting. Looking forward to qualifying. And I hope no one gets any technical issues or silly penalties this weekend so we can see a true dog fight.

The forecast is for rain Saturday and thunderstorms Sunday.

Both Mercedes on the front row tomorrow.

Only the Mercedes out of the top ten will be on the mediums.

Only the Mercedes out of the top ten will be on the mediums.

That's a massive advantage. They can control the pace and probably be the only ones in the top 10 to do a 1 stop race from medium to hard tyres. I doubt the red bulls will go from soft to hard and get through the race.

Could be a big win for Mercedes tomorrow

And Mercedes keep winning the little battles at the moment. Holding up Max in qualifying was naughty but Mercedes ultimately got what they wanted out of it.

Bottas did an excellent job for the team there. Pathetic.

 

[Random Guy]

Bottas took out a Mclaren and 2 Red Bulls

Can still see Verstappen coming back, he is excellent in the rain

 

[Franco Pinion]

Perez, Stroll, Leclerc and Bottas out of the race as a result.

Race has been red flagged.

 

[Random Guy]

I can't see how they can fix all that damage on Verstappen's car in 20 or so minutes. I don't think he's going to last the race

This race is insane

Mercedes with a big mistake there and Hamilton is now in last place.
