The Motorsport101 gang is back in full! Dre, Cam and RJ are back to make sense of a highly strategic and tense Hungarian Grand Prix, celebrating their 40th edition of the staple race on the calendar. (And Dre drops some important personal news)
McLaren pulled off their fourth 1-2 finish in a row, the first time they’ve done so since Senna and Prost in 1988 – But it didn’t come easy! Oscar Piastri had to deal with a resurgent return to form for Charles Leclerc, who led from pole for two-thirds of the race. Unfortunately for the Monaco man, a strange change in his car after the final round of stops crippled the Scuderia.
It also opened the door for Lando Norris to come back from fifth on the opening laps, run the optimal 1-stop strategy and come back to win, holding off Piastri at the end. Should McLaren be running both cars on the same strategy? Is it unfair?
We also deep dive on that horrible stricken Ferrari and a calamitous weekend on the whole as Lewis Hamilton qualified and finished 12th and called himself “useless”, all in the wake of Leclerc losing a possible win and Fred Vasseur signing a long-term extension. Is now the time for chaos at Ferrari?
