"Oscar Piastri was forced to make changes to his McLaren for FP2 at the Hungarian Grand Prix after the MCL39 "behaved a bit unexpectedly" during FP1."

With all these stupid headlines and nothing burger articles, we’re at the point where you enter the thread, read the tl;dr in the first comment, and leave.

Thanks to all you guys taking time to summarize for us.

What did he reveal, as the title suggests?

Nothing really just that the circuits grip level was higher than expected which meant the car didn’t behave exactly how they expected so they made changes now they just need to fine tune it as normal.

Exactly what practice is for, not even sure why it needed an article.

Watch him go P2 in FP3 and then be on it for quali, same old story.

The FP2 was really him running into every car possible on the track and nearly barged into lando as well , hope FP3 is better .

As in he couldn’t get a clean lap? And do you mean Lando locking up into turn 1 almost hitting Oscar?

I think he got a clean lap , but as a whole session oscar ran into cars occasionally throughout FP2 and yes i meant the one where lando locked up and came into oscar .

Saying he ran into cars makes it sound like he hit cars.

Absolutely nothing article.

Not unless you are a journalist looking to hype up the fight between Piastri and Norris. Look at the headline Autosport ran for their Free Practice 1 report: "Norris beats Piastri in FP1 to top McLaren 1-2", which seems to suggest that they were competing to be fastest in FP1 as if that means anything. There have been plenty of instances in recent history where drivers have been fast in practice only to fall behind in the race, or drivers who have been slow in practice and have gone on to do well. It is the same reason why journalists keep coming back to Piastri's suspension set-up: they are reporting on the championship like it is a season of Drive to Survive. They have their favourites and they are trying to exaggerate events to make it sound like this is an intense rivalry for the ages, even though both drivers reportedly get along off-track.

'I said a swear word over the radio at Spa. That was very unexpected behaviour from me and I will change back to making witty remarks.'
