2018 Hungarian GP - Race

[mwk360]

i really hope it rains during one of the hungary testing days we need to get data and fix our "wet" car mode

[chinmay]

is there any way teams can work during the summer break? i have a feeling mercs did that last year and thats why they were so much better second half of the season.

maybe ferrari can assemble a b-squad to develop in a bunker somewhere remotely

I think technical team under Mattia Binotto is strong enough to counter anything Merc throws at them.

[stefa]

I am so dissapointed... 24 points deficite is... huge...

Nope and no, Mercedes did NOT do that last year. All teams shut down and spend time with family and friends during the summer break.

Indeed now that you says Zu Germans are good with building bunkers .

My worst nightmare is Mercedes clawing back the development gap during this break, after lucking out the past 2 races when we had the advantage.

[Cavallino]

Vettel should be 75 points ahead at this stage.

but what if it rains some more? they need to have a solution for wet weather or else all tracks where ferrari could have a good chance of winning will be doing damage limitation like today

Brundle saying vet was at fault for bot ric crash hahaha. Well why didnt he just blame erricson just for the heck of it

Mine too!! i kinda hate this break, i feel they will find out how ferrari got the power advantage that somehow disappeared around canada and spain and then came back at austria

brundle always threw shade at schumacher too if i remember

[tifosi1993]

Toto after Hungarian GP: Bottas not a no.2 driver

Bottas :

Toto after today's race : Bottas is a sensational wingman

Bottas :

Hypocrites.

I'm afraid Brundle has become senile before his time.

[hakanabi]

10 seconds penalty and 2 licence points for Bottas.

too bad no one was close enough

Well I think you will find that given how incredulous the merc and reno have been about our engine steps they been well caught off.
Also we won't stand still.
If you look at the development rate through the season we are well ahead. I am sure we got plenty more up our sleeves.

Schumacher knows Brundle inside out which is why he ignored him like a boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFaXlQi7Pjo

Not huge considering below factors,

1) ferrari fastest car
2) season unpredictability
3) Kimis form
4) next tracks favours Ferrari more than mercs.

[hakanabi]

sauce?

Sky commentators confirmed it on tv

[prancing horse]

Yea. It is on f1 Twitter

[tifosi1993]

10 seconds penalty and 2 licence points for Bottas.

That's not even a penalty in my eyes. He finished P5 and stays P5, suffers no consequence whatsoever.

[bondilad]

Might as well make it 20 sec.....

[prancing horse]

24 points isn't a big gap with 3 races to go. So with 9 it is very manageable.
Lets not forget all those years when Alonso was ahead of Seb going into the summer.

[tifosi1993]

Takes only one race to change the whole picture.

You shouldn't expect much from Mercedes International Assistance, if it was Vettel making contact with Bottas and Ricciardo, he would be disqualified and slapped 5 license points.

good points, but Mercedes do have the better package in the wet it seems.
I'm not being negative, but racing in the rain is also part of F1 and who knows how many more wet grand prix we could have.

[prancing horse]

It is a standard pen.
It is OK.
Important thing is that mercs cant take the high ground when it comes to running into people

[mwk360]

dont see why Bottas isnt given a grid drop didnt sergy or ericcson or someone get a grid drop next race for a real racing accident at baku

[da_one]

They gave Vettel grid drop for impeding Sainz in Austria qualifying, now is Sainz getting anything for not paying attention to blue flags 9 times?

Nope. He impeded Lewis' main rival. He would probably get a free steak dinner from the FIA, and his leftover bones will be given to Bottas in turn. 2 birds, 1 stone.
