That was in the Qualifiers I really think that they did a great job not letting Max Verstappen pass it was really great performance for the Mercedes Lewis Hamilton but that was only in the Qualifiers because, in the Main race, Lewis Hamilton just lost the 1st position on the start of the race he was passing by Max Verstappen and Lando Norris making mistake and felt sorry about it, it should be him but again that mistake has really cost him a lot and eventually lost on the Hungarian GP, while Max Verstappen wins his 11 or 12 consecutive wins in a row, for this season right now,


Hunted was really a strong way to put it but Lando Norris does great in sticking in the back of Verstappen, and again Max Verstappen was focused and again lead the Podium making it in the 1st position me it was a wide range of leads for the flying dutch man it was really a great race because many believe that Lewis Hamilton can get this win right now but again the Dutch driver has proven them wrong, and so is Lando Norris for me he is really good at this one aswell making it to the podium and this time the 2nd place, actually I really like Lando Norris so if anyone to get the win except for Max Verstappen is really Lando Norris, while Sergio Perez is returning his eagerness again,

Well, the question now is easy.

During this month we will have a new investigation for passing the budget cup of this season.

RBR with other 2 teams is rumored to have passed it AGAIN, nothing official yet.

Another Grand Prix, another victory for Max Verstappen, it starts to be really boring. In 11 disputed Grand Prix this year, he won 9 of them. The only 2 ones he lost was the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan one where he finished at the second position few seconds behind his Redbull teammate Sergio Perez. That's very disappointing to bet on other pilots than him, but I'm still expecting a surprise in the next races while odds for other pilots victories increase.  

Norris hunted Verstappen really well at the beginning of the British Grand Prix. Now he is again right behind him. I wonder if we will see Verstappen's reaction time less than Hamilton and Norris both. But this time it feels like Verstappen will be more focused. He has been complaining about the car at the weekend so far. I expect him to race full focused to make up for this with his driving skills somehow. Even if he doesn't have the most ideal start he is still heavily the favourite driver to win the race of course.

But having some fun in the first laps would be enjoyable again just as it was in the British Grand Prix. 

Very good lap from Hamilton and he definitely has an advantage over Verstappen at the start, he is in the better half of the track, so Norris could possibly get past Verstappen in the first corner.

Hamilton has done very good on this Hungary track in the past and I will say today is no different.
With the race starting in about an hour from now I would imagine he will get a podium place at the very least but Max is well, Max. So expect him to do some crazy Verstappen things in the first 5-7 laps to take P1 from Lewis.
Here is a video I was going to post last night from qualifying where it shows the two drivers overlay ontop of each other during the course of the pole position winning lap.

Is this true, I am not dreaming right now the RedBull is nowhere to be found in the 1st to 3rd position right now, what has happened, well in the 1st practice it seems both Red Bull is having difficulty for sure, and made a great run into the 3rd Practice but seeing Max Verstappen has clearly been shot off by the other teams I was really surprise by the sudden turn of events right now and I am digging it, Practice 3 is all on Lewis Hamilton right now taking advantage on the tracks hard turnover for sure, and the qualifying round Lewis Hamilton goes toe to toe with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen and Hamilton have gotten the 1st position in the Hungary GP,

I don't think he can compete tomorrow.
The only chance he has is if he can do the 1st turn ahead of MAX an Norris crash on MAX.

Big eye on tires, F3 they got destroyed due to the hot track.

Nice! They are covering even the F1 now, I really thought that they will be very curious about this kind of movement and now that Daniel Ricciardo was on Alpha Tauri he is in hot eyes right now this movement is really controversial if you put your mind to it because Nyck Devries is not injured but RedBull is moving him out, in the midst of the season,

Bloomberg really wants to get something from Ricciardo they questioned him about the difference between the Simulator and the real deal which I think they can answer even with common sense, but I really love what Daniel Ricciardo is answering questions with modesty and it is quite great knowing how he thinks in getting into RedBull somehow, well for sure Targeting one of the Drivers in RedBull,


Actually, it was Practice 3 now and as we are speaking me posting this the Qualifier is now in progress yeah Lewis Hamilton is from the bottom position to leading the Hunggaroring, and Max Verstappen ending it 2nd and Sergio Perez is back aswell but on the 3rd position for this practice race, for sure RedBull is now doing their all in gaining the momentum they can get and even the grid position now is crucial because the two RedBull has a not perfect start at all,

Hamilton did it! I cheered so loud for him after I saw him crossing the finish line in P1 because he really worked hard in order to get back on top and I'm glad Mercedes had a decent car today in order to provide Lewis a chance for a pole run.

Tomorrow , the race should be insane to watch right ? I mean , it could be everyone's race as Max , Norris and even Piastri do have a chance to win it but Hamilton will most likely give 200% out of him to win the race.

Bloomberg a mass media news organization who are known to report on the financial markets.
They have recently noticed the occurrence in the sport of F1 with the replacement to one of their drivers in the middle of the season not due to injury, which seems to be an unusual circumstance in any sport except for this one.
So they had an interview with Daniel Ricciardo prior to the Hungarian grand prix about the most controversial subject this season in his transfer to replace Nyck De Vries.

Practice 3 just finished and it looks like Hamilton finished 1st with qualifying is about to begin in the next hour to see who will get the prized pole position for tomorrow's race.

FORMULA 1 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 2023 - PRACTICE 1

Sergio Perez was out early in the Practice race, sliding and hitting the barrier, while there are a lot of red flags for the 1st practice in Hungary when the rain proceeded and the drizzle continues it is not good for most drivers in the slippery condition of the tracks Valtteri Botta's slips while both Ferrari was struggling in this Circuit while using the green intermediate tires, George Russell finish the fastest in the 1st practice, while the upgrades of the McLaren is still showing effect and Oscar Piastri landing the 2nd place, Lance Stroll at 3rd, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, Valtteri Bottas, Charles Leclerc, Zhou Guanyu, Logan Sargeant, and Nico Hulkenberg, on the 10th, while not looking good for Daniel Ricciardo where he ended no time for his 1st Practice race Sergio Perez, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is not looking good right now with no time for them,

FORMULA 1 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 2023 - PRACTICE 2

Right now practice 2 has changed and right now Charles Leclerc is currently finishing with the fastest and finishing at 1st, McLaren is truly showing their upgrades Lando Norris 2nd, Pierre Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda, Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg,    Valtteri Bottas,    Fernando Alonso, Zhou Guanyu, and Carlos Sainz getting into the 10th place, while both RedBull doesn't want to catch the lap time of other drivers for now, Max Verstappen landing the 11th position right now for sure this is going to become a realizing an exciting race on the qualifying rounds,

We have some not reliable data from this freepractice, so much water on track, but the only we can affirm its McClaren still in the contender to podium train.


Well what a huge change in a good direction Mcclaren has made, not the same to say about Aston Martin. Poor Alonso.

Tomorrow we will have a first new time if it doesn't rain during qualifying.

It will be the first time for testing the new qualifying format where the drivers will be forced to use a different tire compound at each stage of qualifying.

The Hungaroring is considered one of the narrowest Formula 1 tracks. The width of the track is within 12-15 meters. In addition, the Hungaroring has many curves with different radii, making it challenging for pilots. All this together makes overtaking more difficult and can lead to exciting duels between pilots.

@rdbase   Red Bull also are going to use a new sidepod as of this race.



The cooling inlet has also changed and there is a change with the front wing as well. All these upgrades can make Red Bull gain quite much time against their opponents in the Hungarian GP. They are already the fastest by far of course but they aim to keep this dominance at worst of course.



This is the car development teams have made so far. Red Bull are one of the worsts according to that but they are still far ahead of all of them.  

Hungary is a very good track with a lot of passing changes, definitely a great start straight where people can pass each other as well, with a great turn at the end to stick it.

I know people dislike Monaco because people rarely see overtakes there, a very narrow street track makes that very difficult, but Hungary is not like that, there are two straights (one that comes before the start one, and the start straight) which could be used for overtakes, you will see there will be more than 15-20 overtakes all this race easily, and that makes it fun. Plus, I know it's still July, but if by some miracle we see some wet situation, suddenly things will change, it looks like there won't be any rain though, definitely sunny.

I hope it will be an exciting race, but unfortunately it will be a rather boring race like Monaco. The weather at the Ring is also predicting more stable, beautiful weather from tomorrow onwards, but today's practice might take place in the wet, which wouldn't be very meaningful.


Thanks for sharing the Ferrari updates, looks interesting, hopefully the power unit doesn't overheat though, there are a lot less vents. I would be happy if Ferrari could fight for the podium again.

He did win two races this season so he still has the driving spirit but I would imagine trying to compete against his own teammate driving a very similar car as yours and you are not producing similar results, it will question your skills. So maybe he is feeling this pressure by Red Bull with not at the very least finishing second place or even making a podium for every race in the season so far.

With the Hungarian GP there are many teams who will have upgrades that will be noticeable such as with the Ferrari side pods as shown below:


Red Bull has been wind testing their cars to see where they can improve even more their cars, if that is even possible:

Also the floor of their car that everybody had seen up on the lift thanks to Perez:

Its gonna be tought to catch and surpass that mark, but not because he cant, because you need a little b it of luck to not crash or not have a engine failure in the car. We all know Max Verstappen and Red Bull is in condition to set a new record.

Still a surprise to see if he ended up breaking that mark, because it was one of that marks that you think "we are never gonna see it broken" or "its gonna last for decades".

But well still early to make an assumption.
