[F1] – Good afternoon dear readers of FormulaPassion.it and welcome back to the appointment dedicated to the direct writing of Qualifications of the Hungarian Grand Prix, the first in which an experiment will be carried out with the obligation to use the hard compound in Q1 and the medium compound in Q2.
PL3 mysterious
Lewis Hamilton was the fastest and quite a bit on the same soft tire compared to Verstappen and Perez, separated by just a few thousandths. Fourth Hulkenberg, then Norris, the first with a medium tire. A picture that makes it really difficult to predict what it will be the final outcome in Q3 without forgetting that traffic and the obligation to use the hard tires in Q1 could lead to some surprises.
