Russell took Sainz’s pole over the horn

Carlos sainz I’m flying He showed the superiority that he showed France. You can now drive one hundred percent with confidence in your car and it will show in all aspects. At Paul Ricard, his engine change and resulting penalty prevented him from fighting for all, but Helmut Marko (advisor at Red Bull), old dog, warned that Sainz did an “alien lap” in qualifying and expressed his concern if Carlos continued at this level. The Spaniard gave him his reason this Saturday on the Hungarian asphalt, being fastest in the first attempt of Q3. There was one bullet left and Sainz was once again the best. The pole position was in his pocket, but with the clock at zero, the disappointment was too great for the man from Madrid. Russell appeared out of nowhere with his Mercedes and snatched it from him with a white glove. surpassed Carlos for 44 thousandths. first post for georgewho will defend first place tomorrow against an injured Sainz (2nd), Leclerc (3rd) and Norris (4th), included Stephen Ocon in 5th place and Alonso in 6th.

George’s post left everyone speechless. Mainly, because Mercedes had a lot of problems all weekend. Also because Hamilton remained 7 tenths from the amazing time of King’s Lynn. The 24-year-old is a reality, present and future of Mercedes, with the makings of a champion and a worthy successor to Hamilton. There is no doubt since the start of the campaign because of his tremendous regularity and extraordinary performance. He just has to fight for victories. He will have his chance this Sunday, where he will try to remove the thorn from what happened Bahrain 2020where, replacing Hamilton, only an error in his team’s pits deprived him of his first victory.

Verstappen, the great victim, was 10th

And Verstappen? Undoubtedly, apart from the surprise of seeing a Mercedes achieve his first pole of the course in his young promise while his teammate Lewis Hamilton could only be 7th, the other news of the day was the poor performance of red bull all weekend and an unlucky ‘qualy’ for them. Perez he was left in Q2 and will start 11th. But above all, the great victim of the day was Max Verstappen. The leader of world He will start 10th, very far from the top positions, apparently due to the problem of lack of power in his last attempt.

The Dutchman made a mistake with his first shot braking too much in the first sectorcomplaining on the radio about lack of front grip. And on his second turn, his car did not accompany him. Double mistake for Red Bull who wanted to take advantage of Ferrari to get points from the Dutchman. The reds continue to believe that the drivers’ and constructors’ titles are possible and Binotto is sure after the Leclerc disaster in France that things will also happen to Max Verstappen and Red Bull during the course. Just have to wait. At first, it happened. It will be difficult for Max to redeem himself on Sunday as in Hungary it is difficult to overtake and his aim should be to minimize losses.

Russell, unexpected enemy for Ferrari

Ferrari would look for the opposite, to maximize their spoils, but when Max failed, the Italians found themselves on pole for Russell. The resurgence of Mercedes could disrupt the second half of the year in the fight for the crown. The stars can be the judges of the World Cup. Do you think that was the key to giving Max the title? Things of destiny. For now, in Hungary it was very difficult to overtake and Ferrari had to work hard at the start or in a possible two-on-one battle of strategies against Russell, with Sainz and Leclerc behind him.

Sainz will try from the start in this Sunday’s race, with Ferrari where he drives at the level of Leclerc, better than him in the last two races, after the first part of the year where it was difficult for him to adapt to a car that was far from his driving style.

Sainz is flying, but we’ll have to see what Ferrari do this Sunday. Carlos is 2nd and Charles is 3rd. But Leclerc is on 63 points and Sainz on 89. When the Hungarian GP is over there are only 9 races left. Will be Binotto (Ferrari boss) will decide whether to continue betting Charles Despite the enormous growth of Carlos or if you choose not to intervene.

Alonzo, 6th

“Unbelievable”. This is what Fernando Alonso said at the end of the qualifying session. Not understood. The Spaniard was third in Q2, with the best second sector in his hands. In his first attempt at Q3, the man from Oviedo placed fifth at 7 tenths and placed half a second behind Stephen Ocon. The man from Oviedo was superior to the Frenchman at all times, but in the last lap, the Norman managed to pass his teammate and take the fifth position, leaving Alonso in 6th with a lap of 60 thousandths faster than Asturian.
