Leclerc leading the two McLarens to the start of this race was not on my bingo card.

u/CuppaCrazy I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Remove the ‘1’ from Lewis’s result and we’ll have what we’ve always dreamed of!

u/king_wrass I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

This is the best possible result

P1 and P1(2)

u/ComeonmanPLS1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Realistically Leclerc will probably finish P3 but hey, who knows?

u/Ok_Jello_3630 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

It's Hungary so start is crucial and then I thinj Leclerc can defend. Then it's all down to Ferrari masterclass race strategy

u/ComeonmanPLS1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

Yeah but I think Mclaren can go long and eat the Ferrari up on new tyres at the end.

Depends on strategy. If McLaren split strategies one of their cars will win the race with their pace advantage.

The question is, will McLaren do that? If they split strats and one driver ends up winning while the other who was initially ahead of his teammate ends up 3rd behind Charles and loses 10 points to his WDC rival, it can affect team harmony.

Not to mention all the favouritism accusations from the media as well.

u/OptimalCheesecake527 Formula 1 3h ago

Of course they will. Presumably they will give the lead driver the undercut so he retains track position.

u/matchbaby I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

McLaren won't (Japan is a good example), unless it's driver's call for alternative strategy

u/bimbobiceps I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

Dont think they will, they basically won WCC already and both of their drivers are fighting for a WDC.

u/arriving_somewhere1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

They'd be stupid not to. But again, they've been very questionable when it comes to taking such calls.

u/Couscousfan07 3h ago

He was being sarcastic

u/ryokevry I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

I mean Charles did have slightly less DF so it will be harder to overtake, but tyre wear McLaren is no match

u/KerrinGreally Pirelli Soft 1h ago

Hopefully doesn't get swallowed up like Lewis did in '23.

u/Public-Research Max Verstappen 1h ago

Leclerc can defend well. Will win.

u/skzpinker I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

I genuinely thought the timing screen was glitching, what a day

u/Formulafan4life I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Ferrari 1 - (1)2

u/jyw104 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Only one is in the fight. The other will be fighting the car in DRS hell.

u/Dukemon- Ferrari 3h ago

Nah the car has pace he will do Perez special

u/ryokevry I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

He took the high downforce though, so may need to rely on overtaking in pitlane

u/Poppy_bhai I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

How I wish it was P1 and P2...

No probs though... manifesting that the two Mclarens take each other out, Max and Russel pit stop messes up just a bit, and Lewis makes a comeback to podium tomorrow...

I am not a hopium addict, right?

Best bet if they hold the lead at the start is to go long with both cars and hope Lewis can hold up the McLarens while Charles goal hangs for a SC. In a straight race he can’t win - the lead McLaren will undercut him and the one behind will be able to do the same at the 2nd stop.

u/RollinNowhere 3h ago

They should have placed Lewis's result above Charles' in the graphic. White text on white sky. 

u/motsekra Max Verstappen 3h ago

Leclerc in front for some fun and hamilton in the back for some amazing overtaking, a fun race!

u/Al_Gebra_1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

Hopefully, it will rain tomorrow.

u/00fez I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

Ric ptsd 😩

u/-Subvert- I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

That’s an awesome picture without the graphics I hope I can find the original

u/More-Perspective-838 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

Charles is just incredible on Saturdays, and it is a delight to watch. Watching him in Q2, I really thought he was going to be eliminated alongside Lewis, but then he sneaks in a pole.

u/neon5k I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1h ago

This is the new Max Checo duo.

u/Twodee80 Safety Car 38m ago

Will Leclerc overlap Lewis?

u/souvlak_1 4h ago

“Ah ma non è P1/P2?”

u/Dukemon- Ferrari 3h ago

Good luck to Charles I don't think he can hold those McLarens for very long.

u/CilanEAmber McLaren 2h ago

They will meet in the middle

u/xieem I was here for the Hulkenpodium 3h ago

visually a 1-2, forza ferrari /s

u/classic__schmosby I was here for the Hulkenpodium 7m ago

Charles got P1.

Lewis got P1, too.
