2019 Hungarian Grand Prix: Race Highlights 

oh wait...

Henk Janssen HAHAHAHA or is there hmm...

Hahahaha good one!

Well there is lmao

Kvyat already had his chance, he Gasly'd it and Red Bull have him the elbow. Hang on... Or is Gasly doing a Kvyat at Red Bull?

sandile mthoba faster driver than hamilton ever was

probably the best driver out there given the circumstances

@Dayumhesgood What the hell does Hamilton have to do with anything?

this is your question. kimi : i drive...

@@bellofrod if Kimi was 19yrs old driving a car that has no business being in the top ten to 7th/8th place all the talking heads would hyping him as the next Ferrari/Mercedes/red bull/mclaren driver, then you remember he's been doing this since he was a 19yr old ...

Nah it's just very great

@@lmao7439 it's a joke

2 years early to be exact😆

😂

Hahaha

The same strat executed because only 1 red bull fighting the two arrows.

🤣

In other relatively similar news: The sky is blue

But they refused 20 times to put him in a RedBull car for like 3 years in a row. Amazing

I literally expect that now tbh.

@@Jorgerally35 Well they were hardly gonna give Danny or Max the boot now were they?

@@Jorgerally35 i think verstappen and sainz relationship was quite intense in their time at toro rosso

Sky cameramen must have a grudge against him haha

I said the same thing watching the race. 15 laps of Gasly and Sainz lost in translation...meanwhile, we all watched an amazing and exciting battle for 14 between Kmag and Ricci (they deserve the tv time, for sure...but more than the 4 laps where Gasly was in DRS distance?)

@@aguadoia look at gb and Austria, two awesome performances and no tv coverage

@@aguadoia Where is lando tho :( Sainz is doing so well but lando is just kinda falling behind. Maybe Carlos gets better parts??

@@kimjunguny there is nothing like that mate. Sainz is just the better race day driver.

First Last they have bums for team mates

@@wannabKsi Its unfair to Bottas to put him in the same boat as Gasly. He gives Lewis a run for his money sometimes (tho Lewis clearly is coming out on top).

They simply were not up to mercedes level performance wise.

@@samdeepak I think they could have won if they pitted

@@krackt @Krackt I doubt they could've won the race if they committed to the same strategy as Mercedes. To wit, Spain unlike the other circuits suited the Mercs far better than the other ones. 2 Mercs against 1 redbull in a proven track like Barcelona was never gonna cut it by any stretch. They should've had the other bull up there with Max to even be in with a shout.

@@samdeepak fair point

@@samdeepak I just want max to win a single WDC right now 🥴

define ur definition of "old school" so ik we on the same page

Underground Sounds I guess the rookies from the early 2000s are the old schools now.

It’s quite sad in a way not seeing people like Massa, Alonso, Webber and Button in the sport anymore. I started watching F1 with that generation, and it’s going to be really strange when Raikkonen is gone, effectively rendering Hamilton, Kubica, Vettel etc as the old guys lol

@@perspii2808 shit, that is old school

RaLLyKaTz OoO not really, after Kimi retires the early V8 rookies will be the new old schools. After that era Then it would be people like Hulk, Perez and Daniel

Looks like they're really trying to get Gasly's seat;)

@Gee Gee HAAS

Yes, that was awesome 👍

@Gee Gee just think about the 2017 Kvyat. He would have collided there i'm sure just remember Silverstone 2017. Also Shows how matured kvyat is

As a team mate he pushed out the other team mate at last. All the time you have to give a space.

Antonio Kljajic no verstappen is not HAMILTON is best

@@masyxl3404 stfu

Ozzyanking 09 at least Verstappen didn’t make any Big mistakes

DaanRacer yeah bro

zeemonkeyman1 yes, they’re fighting with gasly 😂

A very solid fourth place with a Renault engine. Amazing progress. I saw an interview with the team principle. Down to earth guy. A lot has changed there including the drivers. He praises them. Working together and really getting along with each other. They are clearly having. Carlos better than ever. Really impressed by Norris. Great job McLaren!

@@MGHB-yd1ye Nope. They are beating him. Only reason Gasly is ahead of Sainz in the championship is because of his 4th place in Silverstone and McLarens bad luck at the start of the season. I'm a McLaren fan, but the facts don't lie. Sainz and Norris are consistently outperforming Gasly.

Bet they wish they were fighting with that Honda engine they helped iron out all the wrinkles for Red Bull though... ;)

Let's acknowledge George Russell as well.

🙋🏾‍♂️ it's like deja Vu

I think that was a pretty bad decision that Ric took

@@yblind Ric is making 48million for being a top driver in a low ranked team with good funding, sounds like a magnificent deal to me. (He was making 16mill at RBR)

U ask any driver if they would prefer either 50 million with no race wins or 20 millions with plenty of wins, podium and realistic chance of fighting for WC, most drivers would pick the latter

@@newworldmusic9008 Totally agree. His pride took him to another team. He had a better team with Red Bull and the switch to Honda Unit seemed to pay off for RB. Ric said he cared most about winning but that just doesn't seem to be the case with that move.

​@@newworldmusic9008 Lol Daniel might as well make some money then and wait for the Driver market to switch up. Rebull was good this season but they were never in contention to win the title. Im sure Max will also get board soon of just winning races instead of having a realistic shot at a championship. Plus Daniel can hone his skills in the intense midfield.

Agree 👍

Bottas as well

@@TomiVuori Had a broken front wing tho

Everybody: Max Verstappen is better than Lewis Hamilton! Hamilton: hold my beer

Yes

person8203 iceman for a reason

Him and alonso. Both were scoring points in cars regardless how uncompetitive they were

He wasn't that quick in the Ferrari last season though.

@@GreeZy0121 last season he was quite impressive, it was his best season in years. First win in a long time, 3rd in the championship. His years prior weren't all that impressive I'll admit, but 2018 was somewhat of a renaissance.

@@trackandfieldarchive it was his best season in years but they did drop him for a reason. The same reason Bottas is on the brink of being dropped right now...

And Lewis driving masterclass I don't think Bottas can do the what can Hamilton does :)

MpSDoesGaming I think with the the intensity of the front running battle not a lot of light was shed upon the other driver’s which is ashame

in fairness they did on the full race that went out live

you're right though

MpSDoesGaming and Russel finishing in front of an Alfa and a Racing point

Bollocks. He was mentioned many times. He was also interviewed post race.

Hahaha ikr, Renault needs to level up

"Lost power, lost power..."

It did last year too.

Redbull dodged a bullet hehe

It's actually a brand new engine there, it would be a disappointment if that happened

@Rainer Werner Mindbinder cause max wouldn't let sainz pass on team orders

Rainer Werner Mindbinder because Verstappen is an idiot

and even more in CC: "McLaren Renault" - 82 points, "Original Renault" - 39 points.

@@AJ-uf7jt Max let him pass, NO

@@orion-jett fucking moron, max is the biggest talent the sport has ever seen

Guess he just gave up of Merc...

Full credit to Ricciardo, when he held up Bottas for 20 or so laps in a row, that was what destroyed any chances of a better result for Bottas. In the same situation I'm not so sure Esteban would have done much better, but that's very subjective I guess.

Estaban is going to replace Grosjean in the Haas

Ocon isn't better than valteri, no way

I feel bad for Bottas. As being in Mercedez with Lewis, he's expected way too much. Great, clean and sporstman driver with bad luck. Today he even disobeyd team orders in order to allow Max and Hamilton have a clean race. What a racer

It wasn't a mistake, there was nothing to do, it was inevitable... IJS

Better late than never

That’s what we like to see :)

You still into that opinion? :P

I hope you are still watching now......

Bwoaaah!

Sad he's not getting the recognition

@@FCumbe hmmm. He always got recognition at Ferrari, when he was driving shit. About time he has a good season.

It's similar to red bull. Giovinazzi is Gasly, and Kimi is Verstappen.

As a red bull fan I'm totally fine for some reason with the gasly slander. Hes holding the team back

Gasly shocking driver can’t even compete in formula 1.5 when his teammate is fighting for the win

And he doesnt even win with him

Neo yeah, that’s why Leclerc was told to let Vettel take 3rd. Vettel has been racing very opportunistic lately.

Add Austrian GP to the list as well

Wet races also? 🤔🤔😉

@@mayurprasanna7342 only one win on wet race compare to Lewis (8 out of 9 wet races)

Unfortunally, only Max is competing with Mercedes. Gasly is not helping one bit.

@@ianjames92 I think he's afraid to bottle it and that's why he doesn't push as hard. Idk, it's really fucking strange.

@@n3w2d3str0y0u No, RBR has 1 car while Toro Rosso has 3

Bad thinking. Ferrari is insane on tracks with long straights but sucks at turn heavy tracks. Mercedes is almost as good as Ferrari on straights but is much much better at turning. RedBull is a mixed package that's kinda the same to Mercedes but not equal.

Spa and Monza should be Ferrari's best races this season.

H b. L une vu fty

Max had a better drive but Hamilton had a better strategy

I think Lewis did drive better . It's already difficult to overtake in Hungary and the attempts he made were great. The fact that *james* being a great strategist just helped Lewis to overtake .

Max is better driver today. Ham hit his teammate

@@shiro3598 you acting as I'd max is the cleanest driver on the grid

Uhu

And embarrasing

Gasly is so unbelievable timid. The dude just sits there behind a car for fucking 30 laps and like 1-2 seconds behind and never even comes close to attacking. I don't believe it. Did he forget that he is supposed to, you know, race?!

Nice secret message

Gp2 driver! Gp2! ARGH

Behind a McLaren :V

They lapped everybody mate

Ferraris are also lapped in morr 10 laps for sure

Also, I understand people like to compare Verstappen and Lewis (and I enjoy the banter on occassion) but today I think we should just appreciate that Lewis executed a difficult strategy brilliantly and Max did awesome to keep the (probably faster) Merc behind without crumbling under pressure. You could see in the cool down room that all 4 were chatting away because it was such a nice race.

Outstanding between the top 2... it's quite a shame for Ferraris didn't join the party.

Me

Lol yes

Atleast Plankton plan z did work. 😂😂😂..in spongeboob

Ferrari: Plan B..Plan B Martin: They must be thinking of mediums.. Ferrari: Put the car on Mediums Ferrari: Plan C Martin: It must mean Softs Ferrari: Puts the car on soft. What is the point of a secret if everyone know it?

Ferrari : We must stick to F1 since Porsche is not here !........literally scuderia is taking part only in events/competitions where Porsche is not in.....twaty attitude!

Well, you think of plan Z, I don't think they've had a plan since Ross Brown left...

do they really have plan z though?

Kubica /Gasly would be a good Williams lineup.

its a shame coz he is a good driver

Yeah, hes not getting picked up by anybody if he goes. The talent on their way up is too big at the moment :D

@@KS-bq4rs He's the 15th or 16th best driver on the planet but that is not adequate against Max.Kubica would be a roughly equal teammate for Pierre. Has might be more civil with Grosjean and Gasly.

Gasly is what a bottas-tier talent driver looks like outside of a mercedes

Me hahahaha

Exactly the same happened Same strategy pulled and lewis complained about his tyres and there you go "Get out of there lewis!"

Same here

🙋‍♂️

And Red Bull just pulled uno reverse card on Paul Ricard LOL

He still didn’t get fastest lap though

@@jk844100 He would have if one point was not in picture . and that just shows he didnot have the faster car

A Bains he would have had the fastest lap had he put on soft tires instead of medium. Max has soft tires so naturally he’d have a slight advantage in lap time. Also they would have pitted Max after Lewis got passed regardless of a point or not, no need risking a puncture on dead tires if you’re 40 seconds again of the next car.

The sky at night you missed the point but ok

A Bains schumi did 50 quali laps at hungary 98, but both drives are amazing

Na wakimaliza kukuchorea strategy watume kwangu.

Top comment ☝️☝️☝️

Peter Ndung'u -lmaooo! I should have contacted them 30yrs ago😳😳😳😳

Toto pulled a masterstroke like a Chess Grand Master and Redbull saw the endgame and applauded

You have to make it work tho Hamilton and verstappen are the only 2 drivers that could do that pump in quali laps in for 20 laps sorry to say but your fucked lol

Binotto and Ferrari think this is drag racing, not F1

I didn't realize how bad it was after vettel passed leclerc and was around 40+ seconds behind 😂

cause Ferrari built this year's car for Monza

@@BluRacer7 ok... thats one track, and theyll lose that too just wait and see.

Ferrari have the advantage on track with long straights, and this track is all the opposite, everyone knew they wouldnt stand a chance to fight for p1 or p2 on this track, if you're surprised about that then you don't know much about F1

music to the ears lol

Oh yesss

Love it when those words are said.

Haha that is awesome when it happens

mr Exia - I hate to be that guy but he’s actually lost time to Verstappen during “Hammer Time”. But yeah it does give me goosebumps when Bono says that. Hammer time is going to be called in Monza. He better make it work this time.

I wouldn't be shocked if both drivers are fired next year. They both seem like twats.

zelkuta I wonder who would replace them, however.

IMO, I think Magnussen is staying and Grosjean out. K-Mag has been doing better, point-wise. I somehow like K-Mag's bad boy driving style.

zelkuta lol

2019 haas : albon & kvyat sign

You got is spot on with this

Such a dog fight! Yet everyone was fair enough to let the other have their space

Albon seems the better driver imo, but kvyat has more points due to his AMAZING strategists to pull that off for p3 in Germany. Also can we admire that Toro Rosso is 5th in the constructors championship!

@@micheal3041993 same as the fight between riccardo and kmag for place 12

I mean. If Lewis wasn’t a legitimate predator on the prowl Red Bull’s strategy could work.

Most strategists would peg that race as a one stop race, Mercedes went bold and by the time max got back around the window had already shut he would have come out in 2nd.

Any other driver in that merc and red bull would have won

Dighug ,, really?!!! Two words Gasly & Bottas .. lewis has an undeniable talent and determination .. combine that with a reliable tool like “ the merc “ it’s a recipe for success ... the real shame in F1 actually is williams they have 2 great talents and a shitty car .

Nah, RedBull's strategy was safe. Hamilton had a slightly quicker car for the race and was able to pressure Verstappen enough to really hurt him towards the end. Where their strategy failed was not having a good driver in the other car! This situation right here is why Gasly is being swapped out, they needed someone in P3 to pressure Hamilton when his car started over heating and to deny him that last pit stop.

Here after France and Abu Dhabi 2021 Huh 🧂?

Would have been sixth if alfa did not lose the pit stop to res bull

Kimi is crap

@@tutirabbit9453 giovanazzi couldn't get past a Williams and $troll

Not a alfa engine though.

People forget, there's a Ferrari engine under the hood but the fact that Kimi is a beast driver, allows him to compete with the midfield

They got caught with their pants down

Don't underestimate Lewis's ability, he was a beast behind that wheel.

@@blessed6252 yeah, he crashes in one race and everyone questions his ability

If the strategy did not work, it would have been embarrassing too. They have 1000% of the best and fastest car and losing to Red Bull would be really embarrassing. But Wolff says: Hungarian GP is the home country of Red Bull and who has always won the Mercedes for the past few years. Everything he says is like my shit on the toilet. He thinks they won because the strategy was so good and because they have the best F1 driver in the world. It is only a Mercedes, if Verstappen would have driven the then he would probably become first with 1 lap lead.

Yes totally brilliant, loved it, imagine how good it would of been without DRS though. It ruined yet another big battle.

*Mclaren vs Improvised Toro Rosso

Grosse H. hahahah yes

Well his partner currently busy racing at middle tho.. Hahaha

Gasly not even winning Formula 1.5 LOL

Can't even stay on the same lap as Max

Good point, I didnt even think of that...

Both Ferrari's couldn't deny him a free pitstop lol.

Ah shit! Here we go again

Spent all his race in 5th. He was nowhere near the Ferraris and Gasly never put him under actual pressure (just basically sat a second and a bit behind the whole time). So tbh, not a whole lot to really show.

@@XxStuart96xX not true, he started 8th and overtook gasly

Don't worry, he'll be fighting for the championship soon.

@@lucaparkes6966 That was at the start.

He's relentless as ever but you can tell he's starting to *decline* by his qualifying performances. Hamilton is not helping himself starting on the 2nd row when he should have put that car on pole if you take into account how close *Bottas* was from beating Max's time on *Saturday.*

I think he’s not as quick as he was during Qualifying as before, maybe because he’s already broken that record, or maybe it might just be Botha’s be quick in Qualifying. But during the race he is still lightning quick. But I think he is at his peak now

@@notaidan4451 I can see another title after this season for Hamilton. Mercedes have no real right to be beating the red bull at the hungaroring given it's perfect for the red bulls set up. He did though and there's no other driver who could have beaten max that race. Imo we are watching the greatest ever f1 driver to date. Who knows perhaps max could go on and emulate Hamilton but I doubt it given the standard of the younger drivers coming through now. Le clerc v max is a great dual to see

Winter G he actually talked about this in beyond the grid, he said he wanted to work harder in the car and put more effort in every lap, because he felt that he could do the race distance twice. That was generally what he said look it up

@@pointblanc2723 no need to look it up in take your word for it but it's common sense really he's older and in his driving prime of course it'll take more out of him than drivers barely in their 20s but he's still delivering. Every time you think his star may be fading he comes back and blows everyone away. Many will say it's the car but I don't subscribe to that theory as he was still winning races in the mclaren that he really had no right to be anywhere near the podium with. Which we soon saw after he left it was no coincidence their fall from grace coincided with Hamilton leaving for Mercedes

That's the spirit! I'm a Hamilton fan, but Verstappen is just magical! He deserved that win, too!

The Red Bull was and stays a little bit slower

I don't think it was "a bold strategic move": if Hamilton didn't pit he would've stayed behind and his tyres would've been shredded until he fell back anyway. The large gap to 3rd meant there was absolutely no disadvantage to pitting either. Really, it was more of a mistake by Red Bull's strategists: Max hit the performance cliff of his tyres before the end of the race, he didn't have a chance without pitting. If Max pitted to cover off Hamilton, there'd have likely been more of a battle, but honestly I'd have expect Hamilton to have won anyway (unless he made more mistakes). The RBR Honda is a lot more reliable, but it's not as relatively fast as the Renault was.

@@daniellee4003 Really the entire result was out of Red Bull's control the *moment* that Leclerc dropped past that magic 20 second gap mark. From then on, Mercedes could do (and did) whatever they want with basically no regard for track position whatsoever. Max never had that luxury- He wouldn't be able to pass Hamilton once he lost that position. The Mercedes is too OP. Basically, Ferrari (and Gasly but that's a given) is so far off the pace they're now fucking *other* teams' strategies up. I bet it's some 4D chess for the WCC title LOL

@@daniellee4003 yes, renault is relatively faster then a team, somewhere, sometimes. ricciardo just changed into a completely different driver, and into a driver that never driven a renault before. come on, man, thats stretching it a bit, innit?
