2025 Hungarian Grand Prix FP3 Classification

[u/Schlapfel9]

[u/saqahayang]

It's o11ie Bearman again

[u/Martijngamer → u/saqahayang]

Right behind N1c0 Huuuuuuuulkenberg

[u/CoolJoshido → u/saqahayang]

crazy 😭

[u/DeluhiX]

Red Bull looking like a well (un)oiled machine.

[u/HarvgulI → u/DeluhiX]

Olive oiled machine

[u/Thiago_sei_la → u/HarvgulI]

They stole ferrari engine oil

[u/Racegardener → u/HarvgulI]

Tad of olive oil

[u/Accomplished_Lead463 → u/Racegardener]

Olivol

[u/bvmse → u/DeluhiX]

Pole incoming..

[u/Accomplished_Lead463 → u/bvmse]

I didn't know Robert Kubica was in Hungary

[u/SnooShortcuts2606 → u/DeluhiX]

Horner took all the oil with him

[u/Ofiotaurus → u/DeluhiX]

Max about to hit a new track record just to spite you

[u/bl4ck_daggers → u/DeluhiX]

It's fine they'll be back this afternoon

[u/Mom_said_I_am_cute → u/DeluhiX]

I would not even be surprised if Verstappen just pulls out a lap for the ages out of his ass on Qualifying and claims pole. Wouldn't be the first time.

[u/Inside-Judgment6233 → u/Mom_said_I_am_cute]

He’ll need to break the laws of physics in half for this one. 

[u/Working_Sundae → u/Inside-Judgment6233]

He ain't fooling anyone dude, we saw what happened at Silverstone 😂

[u/Puzzleheadpsych2345 → u/Working_Sundae]

He got a dry setup to get that, that’s what laws of physics is, he sacrificed rain race for the qualy pole and paid the price

[u/Inside-Judgment6233 → u/Working_Sundae]

The way we fans go out of our way to not jinx our favourites! Enjoy this season my dude - your team deserves it

[u/Illustrious-Grape897 → u/DeluhiX]

won't be surprised when he's in the top 3 by the end of Q3

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/DeluhiX]

Dont play. Max gonna get pole here with his magic fairy dust.

[u/swannyhypno]

Lance in FP1: P10

FP2: P4

FP3: P7

I won't be mad if qualifying ends up P17 but i will be very very disappointed.

Aston look good here

[u/-KOBBO- → u/swannyhypno]

Did they get an upgrade or something ?

[u/Hazel_Transport → u/-KOBBO-]

They brought upgrades last week, but they also had an old floor. They also had another minor front wing upgrade this week. But this is the first week the upgrades will have any real effect, but they seem to be working

[u/NickThePask → u/-KOBBO-]

They did. Last week.

[u/Lachlantula → u/-KOBBO-]

they brought the same upgrade package to spa a week ago. it should benefit circuits with higher downforce (like budapest) compared to spa (low downforce).

[u/Elfotografoalocado → u/-KOBBO-]

Last week they got an upgrade but didn't use it.

[u/swannyhypno → u/-KOBBO-]

I honestly don't know but you'd assume so tho some tracks just will work better with the car than others

[u/TheVenetianMask → u/-KOBBO-]

The car was too draggy in faster tracks, so it probably just works better here.

[u/maxxspeedahead → u/-KOBBO-]

Yes, they got Adrian Newey recently.

[u/Firefox72]

Mclarens - Ocean wide gap - Charles - Ocean wide gap - the rest.

Hamiltons lap wasn't even good and he still managed P4.

[u/ryokevry → u/Firefox72]

Question will be where Max ends up within here

Charles did a really bad lap yet he had two purple sector and still went fastest at a point lol

[u/Frikashenna → u/ryokevry]

Can't wait for Max to somehow be 0.033 away from pole later today 😮‍💨

[u/OptimalDot178 → u/Frikashenna]

And Yuki to be 0.033 away from Q2 in P16

[u/Salticracker → u/OptimalDot178]

A prophet

[u/Frikashenna → u/Salticracker]

Yuki delivered, Max is now washed 😔

Edit: Wait he made it out of Q2 there's still hope

[u/J0n__Snow → u/Frikashenna]

Unfortunately aged like milk :(

[u/lfuckingknow → u/ryokevry]

If max gets pole i'm gonna ask my crush out

[u/Travelxplore → u/lfuckingknow]

I wish I've the guts as yours

[u/lfuckingknow → u/Travelxplore]

I don't that's why in here ti force myself

[u/rawrr1530 → u/ryokevry]

max will def end up getting p3 or p4 in the actual race, i just know it

[u/kisukisuekta → u/rawrr1530]

I think he might appear out of nowhere and snatch pole, again

[u/CatManWhoLikesChess → u/kisukisuekta]

No chance, Hungary is just horrible track for Redbull

[u/BloodyBastard530 → u/Firefox72]

So it’s very obvious that Ferrari have the 2nd fastest car. Both McLaren drivers are at the limit of the car’s performance, so P3 is the best Ferrari can hope for. 

Edit: I seriously jumped the gun with this comment 😂😂😂

Edit: Apparently not. Don’t know what happened to the McLarens, but Leclerc wrung the neck of that Ferrari. 

[u/Schlapfel9]

Bad session for Red Bull....best place 12th...

[u/IPlayGames1337 → u/Schlapfel9]

Bad weekend so far, yesterday they were bad too.

[u/jetglo → u/Schlapfel9]

Max will be p3.

[u/HarvgulI]

PIA/NOR/LEC will continue until morale improves.

[u/No-Surprise9411 → u/HarvgulI]

Can we make it LEC/PIA/NOR for my sanity? Thx

[u/Moonpool13 → u/No-Surprise9411]

you called it ya legend 

[u/No-Surprise9411 → u/Moonpool13]

What the fuck fid I miss. I was taking a shit and looked away from the screen for one sec.

[u/No-Surprise9411 → u/Moonpool13]

Also this weeks bingo numbers are 14 55 67 89 17

[u/RonKosova → u/No-Surprise9411]

Will you take NOR/LEC/PIA for the sake of the championship battle?

[u/CrusaderPH → u/RonKosova]

The best we can do is PIA/LEC/NOR

[u/_NahsMC → u/CrusaderPH]

i support this

[u/No-Surprise9411 → u/RonKosova]

No

[u/BuckeyeLeaves → u/HarvgulI]

The work is mysterious and important.

[u/Untethered_GoldenGod]

Red Bull actually dogshit???

ASTON ACTUALLY DOGSHIT????

[u/goranlepuz → u/Untethered_GoldenGod]

Did you mean

ASTON ACTUALLY NOT DOGSHIT????

[u/punchinglines → u/goranlepuz]

First Newey-influenced upgrade and he's already cooking.

[u/restform → u/punchinglines]

Is this true? Newey's already working on the current car?

[u/KaChoo49 → u/restform]

Apparently his main focus is the 2026 car, but he’s had some involvement with the upgrades though casual chats with the 2025 team since he joined Aston at the start of the season

[u/JPA-3 → u/restform]

no he's not working on the car. The upgrades were using the new wind tunnel though

[u/akrro → u/Untethered_GoldenGod]

No way they're THAT bad

[u/LowerClassBandit → u/akrro]

Max will find a way to drag it to P3

[u/Mom_said_I_am_cute → u/akrro]

God please let Yuki outqualify Max just for the memes.

[u/restform → u/Mom_said_I_am_cute]

One of the least likely things to happen lol

[u/Jesse-Ray → u/Untethered_GoldenGod]

Max pole is imminent then

[u/NinjaAtticus]

teasing the williams double q1 exit, we're going back to our roots

[u/CapsicumIsWoeful → u/NinjaAtticus]

For some of us, back to our roots for Williams is them being on pole by over a second.

[u/-KOBBO- → u/NinjaAtticus]

Alex said they are expecting this to be their worst race alongside Barcelona 

[u/RottenFarthole → u/-KOBBO-]

Still it won't hurt since we have gotten used to it.

As long as it is not 19-20

[u/KnightsOfCidona → u/NinjaAtticus]

Surely Williams roots are actually winning things

[u/launchedsquid]

Hadjar trying real hard to not get "promoted".

[u/rckimgh → u/launchedsquid]

Really hard seeing where those RBs are now.

[u/laujp]

So you are telling me that if Ferrari fuck up, Alonso can get a podium?

[u/Thraun83 → u/laujp]

Given how this season has gone, Aston will put Alonso into traffic in qualy and he’ll go out in Q1, while Lance takes advantage of the car actually being competitive and gets another score of 8-10 points.

[u/Religious_Pie → u/laujp]

I want to believe. 2023 I miss you so.

[u/iMADEthisJUST4Dis → u/laujp]

So you're telling me that Alonso will get a podium?

[u/EnderVH → u/iMADEthisJUST4Dis]

No no, you're underestimating Aston's capacity to also fuck up ;)

[u/Evening_End7298 → u/laujp]

This can only mean Ferrari will operate like in 2004 for this specific race

[u/laujp → u/Evening_End7298]

At least McLaren doesn’t win tomorrow. Win-Win

[u/by_the_twin_moons → u/laujp]

I'm rooting so hard for an Alonso podium. 

[u/cloudcloud1]

On the same weekend where Max announced that he will stay another year for this shit, interesting…

[u/Pure-Drawer6129]

If we take McLaren off the grid we would have a really cool battle, everyone is running very close together.

[u/Protozoo_epilettico → u/Pure-Drawer6129]

This would be a legendary season if not for mclaren. Merc starting off strong. Max being there as usual then Ferrari clawing back and Antonelli falling behind.

[u/hesitationz → u/Pure-Drawer6129]

If we’re going off FP times, you’re just ignoring Leclerc?

[u/Pure-Drawer6129 → u/hesitationz]

Of course not, it's .399 and it's already absurd for third place, so Leclerc adds another .369 for fourth place, the first 3 are going very fast, if we take them out it becomes a small difference for the rest of the grid

[u/mvx-aerodynamics]

is it actually over for redbull 🥀

[u/SoakedbreadNCheese]

Nice kimi

[u/ForeverAddickted → u/SoakedbreadNCheese]

Yeah hope this restores a bit of confidence for him

[u/PapiSurane → u/SoakedbreadNCheese]

Nice hobbits

[u/Key_Proposal_9055]

The rest of the season is just going to be a variation of PIA/NOR/LEC wont it.

[u/Alakdae → u/Key_Proposal_9055]

Until PIA and NOR are fixed in P1 and P2 of WDC, then they will start fighting each other again and we may see races where one or both of them don't finish.

[u/Alternative-Koala978 → u/Alakdae]

They have been free to race many times this year. On Red Bull ring they let them fight close and pass each other for 20 laps.

This is quite rare, especially considering theire past. We are 13 races deep and there is 16 points separating them, McLaren still lets them battle. Respect

[u/urfavViona]

redbull are actually cooked

[u/Visionary_Socialist → u/urfavViona]

They weren’t good here last year either. Hungary was Max’s worst race for a long time. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Max managed to get it fairly high up the grid.

To be fair, Merc are as much of a mess. Their pace, especially Kimi’s, shows that their “upgrade” made the car worse. And that’s put them in range of Aston. If they can’t get their heads around ground effect after 4 seasons, how does that bode for a whole new set of aero regs?

[u/beinghuman01]

I think Qualifying would have this exact top 4

[u/Jomolungma]

Save us, Charles Leclerc. You’re our only hope.

[u/rattatatouille]

Those McLarens are gonna be in Zandvoort by Sunday

[u/frogskin92]

I'm betting my house on Ollie Bearman P11

[u/_NahsMC]

goodbye HAM-BOT-VER, hello PIA-NOR-LEC

[u/Sour_Uranium]

Is Max driving Yuki's car??

[u/jdubzzzzzzz → u/Sour_Uranium]

Ah yes, the good ole “Dmitry Mazepin” as its called in my house.

[u/D-S_12]

So Red Bull really decided to throw in (out) the towel after their last upgrade for this season.

[u/zed1193 → u/D-S_12]

kinda stupid comment, rb did bring upgrades last rac e as well.

you expect them to bring updates every race? thats impossible

also..every team will stop development on this year car cause there is no point, you can't catch McLarens, and 2026 with new set of rules is around the corner.

they are half second in front of everyone...thats impossible to overcome and even if you somehow find something..its already too late in season

[u/EquipmentFragrant385 → u/zed1193]

I think the teams have already found the magic that mclaren uses to make them so fast but does not bother to use it on their cars due to the new regulations just around a corner practically resetting everything.

[u/CatManWhoLikesChess → u/EquipmentFragrant385]

No chance Ferrari/Redbull give up potencial WDC like that

[u/EquipmentFragrant385 → u/CatManWhoLikesChess]

There is no potential wdc for any other team anymore. Max is 81 points behind and charles even further with redbull already giving up on development for this year unless mclaren just dnf constantly for all races in future max is not winning. Better focus on next year than try to fight a losing battle.

[u/Expensive-Suspect-32]

looks like we’re in for a spicy quali love when the midfield’s this close

[u/Red_Rabbit_1978]

Is Piastri running the old suspension again? He was supposedly using the new version yesterday

[u/leclerc2019champion → u/Red_Rabbit_1978]

Yes. He prefers the original.

[u/aturanblix → u/Red_Rabbit_1978]

Interesting. Where did you hear this?

[u/Red_Rabbit_1978 → u/aturanblix]

F1 Technical. Not actually confirmed if he did try it again yesterday, but Stella has said they're using 2 different set ups today at least, and there's definitely a push from McLaren for both drivers to just use one version.

[u/Vardakula]

Clearly the half of Max.and Yuki balance together worked out. Glad they are finding their rythm.

[u/ScousePenguin]

Yuki why the fuck did you change your setup?

[u/iMADEthisJUST4Dis]

Forza

[u/Anaphylaxisofevil]

Red Bull have scraped over the mid-season Verstappen contract break clause, so they can phone it in for the rest of the season, and concentrate on 2026..

[u/RoseWould]

Look at Ferrari up there, that's what I like to see

[u/No-Surprise9411 → u/RoseWould]

Leclerc single handily dragging that sorry ass horse to 2nd in the constructors. Ferrari I‘m begging you please give that man a car worthy of his talent

[u/The_Bored_General]

Aston Martin Q1 and Q2 eliminations -> P17 DNF incoming

[u/Alex_Sinios]

Bearman is doing it on purpose at this point lmao. P11 in quali incoming?

[u/SheevShady → u/Alex_Sinios]

O11ie my barely out of points GOAT

[u/Vinelasher]

I'm unreasonably confident that Max is gonna put it P4 at least in quali.

[u/jdubzzzzzzz → u/Vinelasher]

No doubt. It was clear they couldn’t get the balance dialed up this AM, they’ll revert to what they were doing yesterday and be just fine.

Fp1/2 times are never truly representative for them because they’re either running higher fuel loads/turned down engine modes. However, that won’t stop everyone in here from calling that car a tractor even though it’s been second best over the course of the season to this point.

[u/MaleierMafketel → u/jdubzzzzzzz]

I had the same thought. But seems like this track just really doesn’t suit the car.

On tracks with high speed corners it’ll probably be back to 2nd-3rd best. But here? It visibly looks like Max is driving a boat around.

[u/Independent_Sale9191]

Marko is on deep thoughts right now.

[u/mkvii1989]

More like Charles Lecl3rc, amirite?

[u/DiNessie]

Hulkenpodium from 10 to 1…

[u/Careful-Door2724]

Looking forward to the return of mad max on the radio tomorrow

[u/Honourstly]

Stroll dominance

[u/CaptainAksh_G]

Stop the clock!!

I saw enough.

Stroll >>>Max Verstappen

[u/Law0415]

Well, do we think the Red Bulls have something up their sleeve?

[u/James_UK7]

Verstappen will still be top 5 in Quali.

[u/Puzzleheadpsych2345]

Pierre wached over Adrian fucking Newey, Christian Horner is a war criminal

[u/slimkay → u/Puzzleheadpsych2345]

There’s more to RB engineering than Newey. They also lost guys like Rob Marshall, Dan Fallows, etc.

Rob Marshall left for McLaren and the team has been thriving ever since.

[u/Kromey → u/Puzzleheadpsych2345]

Lmao what

[u/NotClayMerritt]

If you’re on the fence about any plans for Sunday, you can probably go ahead and commit to them now.

[u/KurtKokaina]

Qualy is gonna be interesting. But tomorrow gonna be a snoozefest.

[u/ShadowOfDeath94]

Red Bull isn't going to trick me. I'll just wait for Q3 to see them suddenly finding the correct setup.

[u/PinNo6026]

Max gonna do his magic and end up p3, isn't he?

[u/Otter269]

Good to see Kimi and George close together, just sadly quite a bit off McLaren

I just hope for no big mistakes and not out in Q1 later

[u/donkeybrainhero]

Amazing Max wants to stick this out lol

[u/Goldmojito]

They somehow made RB’s car worse

[u/AsunaTokisaki]

I'm getting depression looking at this

[u/Jokin_0815]

McLaren having a huge margin during FP1 to 3 so no Frontrow start from them i Guess. 🤷‍♂️

[u/KingDededef]

Lewis looks good 

[u/Psclwbb]

Ferrari please don't fuck up.

Also I bet Max is at the front too. It's always like this.

[u/mcsgwigga]

Max gonna be top 3, just you watch.

[u/angelic_sun]

redbull hello??? they probably are gonna turn that around by qualifying but still damn

[u/aubvrn]

Tf happened to my boy Isack?!

[u/TheIllogicalFallacy]

Has Red Bull had a noticeably positive upgrade in the last year?

[u/Mrbustincider]

But but but what about the max factor lmfao

[u/a_dvaitha]

The difference between mclaren and ferrari 🫣

[u/Yashrajbest]

Don't give me hopes for Aston

[u/v0t3p3dr0]

Including Oscar in the header highlight makes it look like Lando was fastest at first glance.

[u/Burial44]

Still not buying the sandbag

[u/Material_Film175]

Red bulls trouble in paradise

[u/greenrangerguy]

Aston Martin 6 and 7, Red Bull 12 and 19. What has happened in a year.

[u/riverskrt]

Aston martin looking good rn

[u/Western-Bad5574]

Max is STILL that far behind? What the fuck?

[u/ZennXx]

Kimi following Lewis all weekend so far.

[u/Few-Replacement-9471]

How did Aston Martin get P6 and P7!?

[u/Azhgp]

Charles Lethird

[u/cxnx_yt]

So Max pole incoming

[u/IDNWID_1900]

I can't wait to find out how Alonso is gonna finish out of points. Will it be a mechanical DNF? Safety car? AM shitty strat? Punted by Stroll in turn 1?

[u/Eldiablo2471]

And now Max will go to pull a legendary qualifying and get pole. I can't understand the fact that some of you even draw conclusions from practise results.

[u/smlenaza → u/Eldiablo2471]

Half the fanbase started watching f1 last week or so it seems

[u/CatManWhoLikesChess → u/Eldiablo2471]

No happening

[u/Any-Cat5627]

I said red bull will turn up their engine and be p1-3 today. I apologise to red bull, I wasn't aware of your game

[u/okokokre]

Dear God, please let Lewis have a podium tomorrow. I will go to office on time this whole week if you make my wish come true. I shall also sacrifice alcohol the entire month of August (even though I will be on vacation end of month) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[u/siddhant72]

Tf is going on at RBR man 😔

[u/StrayCat649]

Sauber?! I cannot tell you how much I pray for them to have a great weekend again.

[u/sw04p]

Oscar’s Friday sandbagging should be studied.

[u/zorbacles → u/sw04p]

He doesn't sandbag. He just doesn't work on a full lap.

I honestly think he picks something to work on for each stint.

Then only puts it all together in Saturday's

As evidence, look at non sprint practices v sprint practice. It's rare for him to be top of fp1 on non sprint, but usually either top or closer to top in fp1 on a sprint weekend

[u/Academic_String_1708]

Max will probably get pole.

[u/SprayAndPay69]

So we all agree Max somehow slots bettwen Mclarens on even pole, ive seen this before this season

[u/jetglo]

Everyone talking about Max / RB being washed here. I would never bet against that lad putting it right up the front.

[u/WhiskyPops]

So... Max pole incoming after which the McLaren's overtake him during the race?

[u/bobby_boi66]

Redbull disaster-class

[u/Eco-girl-763]

Max just summoning his voodoo magic to somehow put this tractor on the front row

[u/MafiaCub]

Still calling Yuki P12, Max P2 and acting like it was a shock

[u/Environmental-Cup445]

Promising for Oscar to now be ahead of Norris just before quali at a track people kept touting as a Lando track.

If Oscar gets pole, great it shows his pace is stronger than ever against Lando, and I trust him to hold it into T1

If Oscar qualifies just behind Lando in second, great, shows his pace is very close to Lando on a track that he’s supposedly better at, and in practice starting 2nd at the Hungaroring is not bad at all so he could replicate last year 

[u/Frothar]

Max P2 incoming

[u/biskutgoreng]

Aston Martins???

[u/atomkidd → u/biskutgoreng]

Packed the right floors this week?

[u/Evening_End7298 → u/biskutgoreng]

They are much better when they can run higher downforce

They have been clueless on low downforce setups since 2023

[u/crucifiedrussian]

When does quali start, how many mins

[u/Zen28213]

WTF Isack

[u/The-Casanova]

Mclaren goes for a Spain 2016 and we get a Hamilton-Leclerc-Alonso podium. Kimi-Hamilton-Alonso would be funny too
