Here’s everything you missed from the Hungarian Grand Prix! It was an action-packed race full of drama, spills, and unexpected twists.
- Christian Horner clarified the ‘childish’ radio comments involving Max Verstappen weren’t what they seemed.
- Tension brewed between Verstappen and his race engineer during a heated exchange.
- Lewis Hamilton discussed lingering hostility after a collision with Verstappen.
- Team orders stirred the pot further, with Aston Martin drivers swapping positions, creating more drama.
Christian Horner quickly stepped in to clear up some confusion regarding the ‘childish’ comment made over the radio. It turns out Max Verstappen’s race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, wasn’t really calling Verstappen himself childish. Instead, the term was aimed at how some teams try to provoke the FIA into handing out penalties. This clarification was crucial in understanding the dynamics of the race.
The relationship between Verstappen and Lambiase came under the spotlight with their fiery exchanges during the race. Horner has previously likened them to an ‘old married couple,’ a comparison that seems quite fitting. Verstappen often expressed his frustration about various race issues, while Lambiase tried to calm him down. But this time, Lambiase had to call out Verstappen, adding fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton commented on the collision with Verstappen. Despite shaking hands post-race, Hamilton noted that the ‘hostility’ would likely always remain on Verstappen’s side. He recounted the incident, describing how a lock-up from Verstappen sent him veering in a different direction, resulting in the collision. Hamilton viewed it as a racing incident, acknowledging that mistakes happen.
The excitement didn’t end there. More drama unfolded when Aston Martin drivers played the team orders game. Lance Stroll was given a chance to attack Yuki Tsunoda late in the race, which meant he had to pass his teammate Fernando Alonso. But, unlike other situations where drivers would return the favor, Stroll didn’t give the place back to Alonso, creating even more buzz.
Finally, the Hungarian Grand Prix was just another example of how thrilling races can be. With many twists and turns, F1 fans were certainly kept entertained. And with so much happening on and off the track, there’s never a dull moment.
The Hungarian Grand Prix was a rollercoaster of emotions, actions, and unexpected moments that kept everyone on their toes.
