It is said that Red Bull has brought new upgrades for the car. Is it correct? If it is then we are quite likely to watch a much better performance than Verstappen. I assume he would give some signals from Free Practice sessions as well.

But I can't say the same thing when it comes to Perez unfortunately.    It is really hard to trust him from now on. Back in the day, I would put him on my podium quite often. But now it doesn't make sense at all as he isn't good anymore.

He has become pretty weak recently or is it because other teams have caught up to the performance of RB? I think it could be both. Are we just stirring the pot or is it going to be a problem for Perez if he doesn't perform? Would there be an opportunity for Sainz?

From what I know, Ferrari also seemed to have finally fixed the errors they had from previous races. I would really hope so since I believe Norris is closer to Leclerc than Verstappen. I believe the championship fight would be for 2nd place, between Mclaren and Ferrari but if Ferrari continues to suck then Mercedes can easily creep up to higher positions.

It’s disappointing really. Perez was one of the greatest drivers when he was still in racing point, earning them a win. Now I am quite sure he is gonna get replaced next year if not in the middle of the season.

Oh eh, forgot my picks if not for the Superbru reminder. Hammie to win, why not? Broke his duck after 2.5 years drought, these things tend to happen in pairs or more no?

Completely clueless about the selections, this one, I'm trying something completely different: picking the first bookmaker Google shows me and following their odds in the precise order.

That is correct. It seems RedBull have a huge upgrade on their car on many departments so that should bring a big of confidence to Perez too ? Because if he won't score important points this weekend , I'm afraid he won't catch the next seat for next year even if he has a signed contract.

De nada; but the cut-off was @ Practice 1 so the deadline to make your Prediction has passed...
Next race

We have left the first 2 practice sessions behind. Ferrari finally look much better.    2 drivers were in top 3 in the 1st session and Sainz maintained his presence in top 3 in the 2nd session too. Norris looked pretty good in the last session by taking the 1st position. Currently the odds for the qualifying winner are like 2.24 for Verstappen and 4.00 for Norris. Ferrari follow with 9.00. They are favoured more than Mercedes at this weekend.

By the way Leclerc crashed his car during the last session and it was his fault as far as I can see.

Thanks for clarifying it mate.    Perez looked better in the last practice session. I hope he has a better finish this time. My expectation from Red Bull is really big this time but it depends on Perez's performance mainly.

[darxiaomi]

Oh man, i nearby forget to put the picks, this is because the lack of football competitions my main driver in sports.

I dont see anything about practice so we are gonna be blind in this one.

No worries , glad to help.

Just 1 hour until we can see if RedBull upgrade works for Perez as well because his team really depends on him to score important points but also having a solid qualification session and hopefully he will deliver in both of them.

Nevertheless , Ferrari is looking very good in this track and I won't be surprised if Charles will snatch a top 3 in qualification but also I can see Sainz doing a top 5 as well and that will result in important points for Ferrari. However,  currently Norris has the best chance after Verstappen to actually win the qualifiers but I really cannot see Norris winning here and most likely Max will snatch the pole.

Perez just did what he does best or in other words to screw everything in the maximum possible way,it just happened again today,he didn't even pass Q1 and the first red flag was because of him.I think that McLaren is the best car out there,Norris made a killer 2nd and 3rd sector and even though Verstappen did a -0.199 in the first sector he lost more than half a second in the 2nd and 3rd one.

I am glad I hit Norris for the qualifier and also for the win if the weather improves a bit and it is always better to start with 3 points rather than with 2 before the race starts  .

[CLS63]

I also added Norris for pole position and thankfully he won it.    Tsunoda's crash also helped there as well. Because if we didn't have that red flag in such a critical moment maybe Verstappen might have stolen pole position. I thought Mercedes would do good too but Russell had a horrible day. Anyway it looks like we are going to watch a really nice competition tomorrow. Because Piastri also looks very sharp which can be understood from his finishing qualifying in the 2nd position.

It seems that Perez is doing everything what he can that Red Bull would sack him ASAP. I don't know what happened to him that from decent back wing he turned into such joke. But damn, what a great qualification again, such tiny margins between Top 3 - Norris, Piastri and Verstappen.
Very high temeperatures and no chance of rain tomorrow and we can expect to see interesting race.

hahaha yes man, seems like he want to be sacked and payed the whole contract to leave his seat, so he earn a big chunk of money in his wallet and go to race in other team or competition as soon as possible.

When I saw the fastest lap of Norris I was not worried anymore after seeing that Verstappen could not get past him although he was -0.199 faster in the first sector,in the second and third one he lost a lot so for me I was not worried at all.I hope Norris can win in this race and I get some nice points,I am not aiming for being first although the top 4 is very narrow in points,just 2 between all of us,I am aiming for being consistent enough in every single race so I can get a decent prize in the end of the pool,in such pool where I have won in all previous editions prizes consistency has been key.

Congrats to Spack17 for winning the Hungarian Grand Prix Yellow Cap @ Superbru

Congrats to darxiaomi for winning the Hungarian GP Challenge

A really interesting and boring race was left behind.    There was a conflict between Norris and the team about giving his place to Piastri. But I didn't understand this logic at all. Because McLaren called Norris to pit first and Piastri couldn't catch up with Norris after his pit as well. Why would Norris want to give his place? He still obeyed the order but I'm sure he is very frustrated. Congratulations to Piastri on his first career win in Formula 1!

Verstappen was the victim of Red Bull's strategy mistakes. Mercedes went for an undercut and this destroyed his race. He was so angry with the team. You can find an example of it below.  

[Koal-84]

McLaren put a spanner in the works with the stable order at the end. Because I had Norris as the winner, but that's just the way it is. Verstappen was lucky that he was able to continue after the accident with Hamilton. Otherwise it was once again a somewhat exciting race with a new winner in Formula 1.

I also had Norris as a winner and also I didn't get it what McLaren did.If I were the FIA,I would put a new rule,1000 million Euros who give such team orders,these are pure bullshit and they remove the excitement from a race.The races themselves are boring as fuck and FIA makes them even more.That is a way how to make fans go away,overall the only ones to blame are at McLaren,what a ridiculous move,not making any congrats to Piastri as he got out of track when he had 4.7 seconds advantage and made it go to 1.5,soon after Norris passed in him in pits,no reason to give the place back,I would not enjoy that much such a win especially it is my first in F1 sport,things have changed for sure.

[cryptofrka]

I understand the call. Piastri was leading, the unwritten rule is that he chooses who pits first.
The team decided tactically that Norris should do it, and after Piastri lost the lead it was clear that the team will ask Norris to let him pass.

I'm actually surprised that it took him so long to accept it, but his post-race comments were actually quite fair.

Well, it's not something that doesn't happen at any time, but the discussion on the radio in the middle of the race is incredible... It is are "rigging" in sports, it's like when a team allows itself to score certain goals...

In Strange Things, we almost missed seeing Checo stay in the classification table above Max,5 more laps... 

^{in " rigging", it is not a violation of any rule!}
