Hursty It’s been surprising to see the way Redbull have reacted to this. Horner and Marko both making themselves look like total tits.

The race next week should be interesting.

Still going on…

Hamilton is going to take another win in Hungary as always so they are trying anything to stop him

Matt

Hursty Hamilton is going to take another win in Hungary

Not sure about that.

Hamilton is brilliant around there but based on how the cars have performed this season on tacks with similar characteristics, such as Monaco (where Mercedes were terrible) It’s a track that is likely to suit the Red Bull more than the Mercedes.

I hope you are right though. I like Verstappen but have never liked Red Bull, mainly due to the management.

Hamilton promoted to 2nd

Was that something to do with vettel not having enough fuel in his tank.

I can see why the Dutch GP hasn’t been on the calendar for decades…..

Hursty Really? I thought it was an enjoyable race…

Matt

Hursty Looks like a great track to drive, Terrible for racing under these regulations. If the cars they’ve designed for next year work as planned races like this one should be a lot more competitive.

Hursty

vinnyt77 Nothing happened?

Quite a few overtakes on a track designed for much smaller cars, strategy changes as the race developed, hometown hero being the first of good countrymen to win the race. We all know that the current regs don’t favour close racing, so I’m not sure what else you were expecting?!

Hursty

vinnyt77 A lot more, I’m not a massive F1 fan just a sport lover, compared to Silverstone this was a static race for me, the top 6 didn’t even have a sniff of overtaking each other

Dubman

I enjoyed the race and the circuit personally. There’s a few other tracks where you can’t overtake also in which tactics have a big bearing on the end result.

Got it. Most of the past few seasons have been ‘for the purists’ - which is a wanky way of saying ‘dull as fuck’

I’ve seen WAY worse races than this in recent years. So, judging from a fairly low bar, I thought it was decent!

These are the races that I love the most as it happens. The concentration levels are so fucking impressive, zero margin for error all day.

Can’t wait to watch Russell in a Merc. Finally someone who can bring it to Lewis.

Matt

rhouses Same here. I can see a few headaches for Toto Wolf next season.

It’s a shame Redbull don’t have another top driver in their other car.

rhouses

Matt Checo isnt half bad, but I’d have preferred the Hulk in that seat.

Matt

rhouses im my opinion, he’s nothing more than a decent midfield driver.

I don’t think Verstappen has ever had a really strong team mate. The two who gave him the hardest time being Sainz and Ricciardo. Both very good drivers but nowhere near the quality of team mate Hamilton has faced over the years (Alonso, Button, Rosberg).

I don’t doubt Verstappens class but he’s had it pretty easy so far in regard to challenging team mates.

rhouses

Matt Lewis has had beady eyed Bottas for 5 years and he’s been a dud. Plus I don’t think you can judge Max by his teammates, at this point you can’t question his quality given he’s in the second best car.

Matt

rhouses he’s obviously the real deal. Im not questioning his quality, just the standard if his team mates.

As for him being in the second best car, that’s not the case this season. The cars are quite closely matched but the red bull has had the edge on more circuits than the Mercedes has.
