Who the hell is working with loud equipment during the anthem? 😂
I assume the ambient sound microphone was too close to a mechanic
yeah that was odd.
why did not you Tbone him… haha good one Russell. I love the cool down room chat.
Thanks!
Solid race by Russel to get the P3. Kudos by Mclarent to have different pit strategy for their driver and let him them fight the p1/p2. Ferrari with Leclerc there is something weird with all the frustration in the race. Alonso still got it with a P5.
That lock up cost piastri. Rare mistake from him. He should taken the normal line like he did on the last lap on lap 69 to try a setup a overtake on the last lap. Taking the regular racing line on the last lap, he was closer to Lando throughout the lap
At the same time, that mistake showed Piastri’s greatness in not crashing into Norris there. Could have easily gone bad for both of them.
I don’t know, maybe he should have setup for the attempt on lap 70 instead of 69, but being closer around the lap doesn’t mean much around here where turn one is the only real overtaking spot. I understand why he went for it.
So the one-stop pays off on a track where you struggle to overtake? Who could have guessed?
It is not that simple. Usually tyre deg is so high that a single stop race is not possible. The temps were unusually low today and that meant deg was less and a one stop turned out to be the better strategy.
In the current era cars and tires it just often works out to be the case.
Not really. In all of 2022, 2023 and 2024 the two stop was way faster than the one stop.
I have to go back and look at the statistics but we’ve had a lot of one-stoppers the last two to three years. The two-stopper is almost always faster on paper but not always the best strategy, especially with all the dirty air.
I want to say it was 2023 that the one-stop trend started?
I am talking about hungary specifically. One stop is more popular in most tracks but hungaroring always has been two stops.
Had me on the edge of my seat for those last few laps.
Lol Lando’s race engineer is more excited than Lando
Slow burn race, thrilling end, and ENORMOUS props to McLaren for being the only team on the grid with the gumption and integrity to let their drivers scrap. Thank god for McLaren!
yes this is great to see the fight happening
Bottle Master for the win
Lando is a sitting duck
Unreal, what a finish.
Either McLarens crash or it’s a banger
almost in the lap 69
Got pretty damn close on that penultimate lap!
McLarens crashing would be a banger since it would mean a podium return for Padre!
Jesus Christ Leclerc what on earth was that defense
not Jesus Christ. you are supposed to say “mamma Mia”
great move by Russel for the P3
