Who will manage to stop the hegemony of Max Verstappen (Red Bull)? Winner of the last six Grand Prix and author of the last five pole positions, the reigning world champion saw himself blown for three thousandths of a second the first place on the starting grid of the Hungarian Grand Prix, by Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), Saturday. Enough to bring down the Dutchman during the race, Sunday July 23?
On the route of the Hungaroring, in Budapest, the Briton signed a feat which he did not necessarily expect. But this will boost the confidence of the 4th in the driver standings, who will try to achieve his first success since that acquired in Saudi Arabia in December 2021. Behind the two champions, Lando Norris, 3rd, and his teammate Oscar Piastri, 4th, confirm McLaren’s good form since the British Grand Prix in early July.
The Chinese from Alfa Romeo Zhou Guanyu – surprising 5th – and the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) complete the Top 6. Disappointment on the other hand for Alpine and its drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly: the first will start 12th, the second 15th after having failed in Q2.
