What if Mercedes were definitely reborn in Hungary? Already in obvious progress during the last race in France, where its two pilots were mounted on the 2nd and 3rd steps of the podium, the firm with the star shines again, even if it is still not in its firmament. But George Russell’s pole position, the first of his career, ahead of the two Ferraris of Sainz and Leclerc, brings hope for the race on Sunday July 31.
Those of Max Verstappen, on the contrary, took a hit in the wing with this 10th place on the grid, due to engine problems. But the Red Bull driver, still well ahead of the driver standings, is capable of fantastic comebacks. On the French side, if Pierre Gasly, 19th and finally starting from the pit lane, should have a hard time getting into the points, Esteban Ocon, excellent 5th time in qualifying, has a good card to play.
