[AR3-GP]

This has to be one of the best tracks for these cars. Lots of braking zones and part throttle medium speed corners.

One of the interesting 'problems' that is going to pop out, I reckon, is going to be what happens between the 'final-recharge' opportunity into T12 and the start of the pit straight during quali. T13-14 are proper long corners which will need to be driven at decent pace to get a launch for the straight, but which will 'spend' the battery. Very different from Spa where it was much much less complicated where the bus stop chicane conveniently opens up to the pit straight. Even Silverstone was only slightly worse, because there is a chicane that's not very far before the pit straight.

For Hungaroring, the 13-14 is going to be talking point on team radios, I expect.

T13 is a slow corner. Most laps start just before T14. The track has a large amount of braking energy and partial throttle recovery. Energy won't be much of a concern.

Short run from T14 to finish line will see Mercedes lift off trick again.

I could see some people holding a low gear at full throttle so they clip all the way though 13.

Simone Resta (Merc):

Hungary will be completely different. This is a much more energy-intensive track. So the deployment topic will probably be discussed less. Instead, chassis behavior, car setup, tire management, and overall car management in hot conditions will be much more decisive."

This could be a track without any superclipping.
