Whoever wins this GP will not go on to be the WDC for that year since 2004. Weird stat.

Rain in the air again and it's looking scorchio... Let's see how the Ultras fare in the Hungarian heat.

Taken Friday off work for this one, going to be an intense weekend. Lewis will surely return to form at his favourite circuit.

Räikkönen could score his 9th podium at Hungaroring this weekend - only Schumi managed to achieve 9 or more podiums at the same circuit.

Remember China and Canada this year where they were meant to be Lewis's best tracks!   ;) 

 

With this season, you just have no idea what will happen. There's no trends and history goes out of the window.

One step softer than last year, 30°C air.... surely we will get a 2 stopper.

Once again it will probably be difficult to use Soft in Q2. US should offer a comfortable gap.

Until yesterday the forecast showed thunderstorms on Sunday, but now it shows dry. But the weather in this region is being very unpredictable since last 3 days. I live around 3 hours from Budapest, can't be much different from here.

easy 1-2 for Ferraris. RB will probably be too much for Hamilton and Bottas to overcome. 

 

Hoping for a good result for McLaren too

Forecasts have been worsening for days... and it's been raining quite a lot in Central Europe. Whilst it's not a certainty, it's getting increasingly likely.

Impossible! 

If Kimi leads, then Seb might have either new or old tyres or something else, and that naturally means that Kimi must let Seb pass.

I love this track and have really enjoyed quite a few of the races here the last decade despite what people say about it.

Definitely on my bucket list to attend in the next few years. Budapest is one of my fave cities too.

Podium ceremonie will be soaking wet. Q1 will be damp, rest of qualifying and race will be bone dry.

 

That's F1 for the past 85219 weekends where rain was predicted.

Interesting tire choice by Renault. They are usually better on harder tire as they struggle on softer one. And yet they took most ultrasofts.

I've always considering myweather2.com the most accurate site for predicting weather. Whilst there may be rain in the air across the weekend, it will predominantly be extremely hot with air temperature between 30-33C. 

 

I wouldn't count on rain too much.

Pierre Gasly and TR will still opt for full wets just in case....

Don't agree. This place has real corners, for a proper chassis. Massive difference to Monaco and Singapore.

Hamilton fluffed quali last year, which masked their true pace somewhat.

Every indication suggests the chassis hierarchy is Red Bull - Merc - Ferrari, and the engine hierarchy precisely the opposite, which makes you wonder if everything will converge this weekend for massive battle for pole.

so you hope for Kimi to be WDC? as Lewis is already out based on history, he didn't win at least one of the first two races, a feat he achieved in all his WDC years, but only in his WDC years.

Well based off Monaco Red Bull could 1-2 this weekend. Ferrari were mighty around Monaco last year and took the same kind of performance to Hungry. If Red Bull can find same repeat Ferrari will have to be careful they don't finish as 3rd best team this weekend then again so might Merc who knows. Either way it's likely Red Bulls last chance at vicotry on raw pace this season.

It would fit and Seb to crash at the start as we know him. Would almost make the Championship over.

If its a wet Quali and Race -> Lewis pole and win by a country mile. No one comes close to him in the wet, not Max and certainly not Seb. It will also make Sebs mistake look even more stupid as it should be.

The corners are very slow though and the cars spend a tremendous amount of time around the slow, long radius turns 1, 2 and the final few corners. From what we've seen so far, Mercedes like quick corners the most and apart from turn 4, they don't really exist at this track.

 

I agree about the engine hierarchy and perhaps the low full throttle % will hurt Ferrari this weekend, but it didn't hurt them in Monaco.

60% chance of rain for quali and 40% for the race according to met office. Other sites showing as 50-60% for the race and 40% for quali. Either way rain will be about over the weekend. Bring it on I say.

Räikkönen could score his 9th podium at Hungaroring this weekend - only Schumi managed to achieve 9 or more podiums at the same circuit.

 

With the Sauber rumors floating around, it would be a good time to achieve the top of the podium.
