Has Oscar got the upgrade now too or not?

Yes he has

Car looked fast through the whole session but it seemed to be nervous.

Great to see that updates seem to work. Would be amazing to go into summer break with a great result.

It was reported there was a lot of wind today which could have affected most cars performance. In any case, great step forward, Lando likes sliding electric karts.

Good job by Lando. Anything is possible. Lando, Ferraris and Kimi on same level. Oscar and Max behind and Russell...hmm, he seems lost.

Interesting to see how last year Hungaroring went:
P1 in FP1 - Lando Norris
P1 in FP2 - Lando Norris
P1 in FP3 - Oscar Piastri
P1 in Q1 - Oscar Piastri
P1 in Q2 - Lando Norris
P1 in Q3 - Charles Leclerc
P1 in Race - Lando Norris

Considering we don't have the race pace, optimizing for Qualy on this circuit makes a ton of sense. Get in front and try to maintain position.

Norris again losing 2-3 tenths in the last sector, what is it that our car doesn’t like, tyres done or anything specific?

Most cars struggle in S3 - sliding heavily. I think it's just that the rear tires overheat and the grip is low. In practice Norris was fastest in S2.

Btw these first Q2 runs for McLaren were on used tires.

Shite that Norris

What a lap!!!

Great way to start the last race before the break!

GET IN THERE

[AR3-GP]

well done Lando.

Piastri got blocked heavily by Hamilton in T1 on last run. Pretty sure that is a penalty.

A shame, he probably could have started further up ahead.

Mighty lando

Good job to the team and nice turnaround. First pole of the year and I wish for it to be the first win also.

Lando, you beauty!
