F1 Hungary, the breaking latest news of PL2
After the rain that made this morning’s PL1 round almost useless, in the afternoon in Budapest it was – surprisingly – Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque of Ferrari, at least on the flying lap, was the fastest, closing the session with the best time. Good news for the Maranello team, which is chasing redemption in Hungary after the disappointing empty run at Silverstone, where Leclerc and Sainz arrived on the edge of the points zone. Immediately behind the #16, with just 15 thousandths of a delay, thegreat McLaren by Lando Norris. The papaya car also sent out good signals in terms of race pace, applying for a possible leading role on Sunday. Sainz, with the other SF-23, signed the tenth time.
The top-3 was completed by Alpine by Pierre Gasly, which certified the step forward made by the French team. In fact, Esteban Ocon also shone, closing FP2 with the fifth fastest time. A ‘sandwich’ between the two A523 here is ticking Yuki Tsunoda, evidently motivated by the appearance in the AlphaTauri garage of Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian, on his return as starter, did not go beyond the 14th time. The real mystery of this session, however, was the performance of Red Bull and Mercedes. The two teams evidently went into hiding as none of the four cars entered the top-10. Max Verstappen signed the 11th time, almost six tenths behind Leclerc. Hamilton was 16th in the first Mercedes, ahead of Perez 18th and George Russell’s second black-silver arrow, last in the day’s standings.
