2024 F1 Hungarian GP Qualifying analysis by Peter Windsor

McLaren-Mercedes showed lots of promise on Friday - and the momentum continued into qualifying, with Lando Norris taking the pole by 0.022sec from his team-mate, Oscar Piastri. Max Verstappen starts P3 for Red Bull, 0.024 away from Piastri, ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and the other Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Both George Russell (Mercedes) and Sergio Perez (Red Bull) failed to make it out of Q1, Russell due to a fuelling error and Perez after catching a slippery chicane kerb and spinning into the barrier. Peter Windsor looks back at the day's events.

[@bornresaabe]

This has to be the play. Give Danny Ric one more go in the car he was so successful in. Yuki is also very deserving but he is also known for some mistakes from time to time, and he's unproven being in a top car with the extra pressure which is a big factor. Daniel Ricciardo is proven at that stage and can win races. Most importantly, Danny Ric's driving style matches the RBR. We have seen many solid drivers (Albon, Gasly, Perez) who can't extract the maximum out of it.

[@bornresaabe]

@@AdrenalineBound His driving style is perfectly suited to the RBR. I can guarantee you he won't be worse than Perez, so why not give it a go for half a season. If it doesn't work, Tsunoda and Lawson are up next for 2025. Putting Lawson or Tsunoda in for half a season, in a high pressure situation could make or break their careers.

McLaren needs to calm down and the whole team seemed much calmer today. They need to race like their main objective is to maximize points no matter what happens or where there are at any given point in the race. You can’t treat every single decision like a life and death situation. Last race especially it seemed like each decision they were gambling for a win rather than just making the safest decision. Every decision doesn’t need to be the genius, race winning decision. Just play the probabilities with the safe choices, because you will lose most of the time if you take risky bets that might gain lots of time but rarely pay off.

McLaren has a car at Hungry that's basically, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Conditions similar to Silverstone. I hope they can sort out the back of house issues for the race.

[@kanojo1969]

It's definitely going to come down to tires, unless there's lots of crashes and they decide the thing. But tires will be the thing that wears out before the end, it will come down to who can manage their tires, and who has the right allocation of compounds to give them a chance to charge after the last stop. Norris is good at this, Max is brilliant, Oscar has had trouble with his tires getting used up too soon. I'm thinking Lando/Max 1 and 2, with Oscar maybe 3 or back in the midfield due to tire deg.

[@AmericasChoice]

Thanks, Peter.

[@stevenst6337]

I think Redbull upgrade is a very positive one for Redbull. They were strong in low speed corners and Max was able to do consistent laps for the first time since maybe China? Supposedly it will only be used at low speed circuits but we will see. I think Checo will have a chance to show some good pace for the first time in a long time which is a sure sign of the car performing well imo.

If lando did a second run, his pole margin would have most likely been a couple tenths more

Max lost pole to Lewis last year here and put in the most dominant victory of 2023 on the next day (won by over 30 seconds).

My feeling says Max will get this one tomorrow without an incident (one Mclaren at the start and the other one on pace/strategy)

McLarens should have a strategy of whichever driver gets off the line first should pump away lap times leaning on the equipment and if max gets stuck behind both McLaren’s the second McLarens should be tasked with gaping his teammate to get Max out of DRS ASAP.

Max knows that the RB20 is not competitive enough anymore and that it‘ll most likely only get worse as the year goes on. There‘a only so much Max and the brilliant operational team at RB can do but if the raw pace isn‘t there then you‘ll always have to rely on the faster teams to make mistakes. That‘s why Max is so frustrated lately ( also today where he openly criticised the lack of performance of the RB20 since China).

wait, max also did not go out a second time.

[@jacpfc01]

Max had 2 runs in Q3. First lap he went second then Oscar went second and then max had another lap but only improved marginally. Lando didn’t have a second run because the red flag came out. Did you watch it?

[@DriveLikeAManiac]

@@jacpfc01 yes i did watch it, i can not recall max doing two runs.

[@MrBrianamorin]

Max wins by 5 seconds tomorrow.

After barging Lando off the track . Yes he wins by doing that but it's a hollow victory.

@@Saiko-Johnny I bet he does though!!

[@leostreat3573]

@@Saiko-Johnny I was in the ball park, he just tried it on Lewis instead of Lando . If he hasn't got the quickest car he throws a strop and drives aggressively. Even the pitwall weren't putting up with it today. I do think McLaren should have left Lando out front though. Good chance he's going to need those points.

[@Saiko-Johnny]

@@leostreat3573 Yes, Max was clearly frustrated. I agree that they should have let Lando win. Especially considering that he could have closed the point gap in the chamionship even more.

[@tonbouw6180]

Just saying. not championship material this year, specialy listening to the sceaming Jimmy baby Team boss..Max wil stand above them all. co's he just will,,

It’s okay that your comment makes zero sense, because literally no one cares. Good luck with your homelessness.

​@PazLeBon wow, this place can be nasty. A linguist would have a laugh at "lol" as much as "swop". Why so mean? Could be his second language. Either way. I'm sure you're feeling superior and sleeping well tonight.

Always excuses for Hamilton you never fail….

[@ashokathegreat4534]

So who won?

[@prestonhartlief]

When Max is on pole he's great, when he's not it's the car 😂

[@benniewenniger2075]

Honesty is a virtue

[@J_Whalelover]

Dude Max is always very honest about the car and team being the biggest reasons he wins. And after so many consistent drives of him you can't say it's the car only.

[@virgilma6153]

Max shows more greatness when he doesn’t start on pole, it’s all Max. Are you new? 🤣

[@prestonhartlief]

​@@J_Whaleloverat the start of the season they had 1s advantage. He was on pole and winning everything...now it's a different story 😭. Blaming the car when he's not on pole 👀. The car is always "slow" when he's not winning...but when he wins we don't hear the car is slow🤣. It's in front of you, you don't wanna see it. Keep worshipping your F1 god

[@J_Whalelover]

@@prestonhartlief sounds logical right? You can't win when the other cars are faster. Same as Hamilton did not win anything for the last 2 years. Does it make Hamilton a bad driver? No of course not. What makes a driver great is the ability to extract the maximum out of his car. The best parameters are 1. to see if the driver beats its own teammates and 2. how many mistakes he makes / how consistent he is.

[@prestonhartlief]

So Piastri out qualified Max. 🙈 I thought that he is a racing god. He's achieving good results now that the cars are closer😂

[@virileca]

In a lower midfield car bro, see perez outqualified by seargant how many times now?

[@J_Whalelover]

Dude I've never seen someone so dishonest as you are

[@joshn1678]

​@@virileca if you call the RedBull a midfield car you're a fking moron. McLaren is the best car without a doubt, but the RedBull is clearly the 2nd best car.

[@prestonhartlief]

@Boosted111 you know what it is. It was the car

[@prestonhartlief]

@@virileca it was 0.5s clear of Mercedes throughout free practices. That ended up being the gap in quality. Perez had the A spec of the car Max had the B spec (new version)

[@cosmostrek2001]

this qualifying means nothing if it is dry on sunday. mclaren is better in changing conditions. if it is dry red bull will win. ferrari mercedes is faster than you, all ferrari updates complete failure new floor failure. ferrari mercedes will pass you in the constructors. perez lawson is faster than you. lawson get your helmet you are in after the summer break.🤣🤣🤣

[@FirstLastth]

Blimey Pete, are you being paid by Visa or Cash App?, you seem to be the only human to utter those ridiculous words to refer to the F1 RB team. 😅

[@parmvirvirk8959]

Checo out. Lando lap watching on replay was poetry in motion. Max is angry, want to see what happens tmrw. It's gunna be nuts. I see either Sainz or LH getting P3.
