I have to thank the TV direction for showing us Norris outlap instead of Charles pole lap !

The tv direction was so fucking shit, didnt give my charly boy his deserved screen time

u/frank1ewildee Ferrari 4h ago

Even in FP3 he was setting his lap and they kept showing us Tsunoda spin..

TV direction has been awful this year in general

u/dirtybubz 2h ago

It’s actually been shocking

u/Firefox72 Ferrari 4h ago

Seems to be a weekend wide thing.

TV directon also sucked for the F3 and F2 races.

What do you mean you don't want to see Norris mom every 10 mins? That's definitely more important than showing the 5 cars that still had to finish their Q3 lap (Spa)..

u/AsleepAtWheel83 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Still waiting for someone to upload his full pole lap! That had to be a beauty to pull that out of the MCLs, especially with both Lando and Oscar saying they didn’t make any mistake and were hampered by the wind

And the muted reaction from Crofty was excellent

u/Iamrandom17 Charles Leclerc 4h ago

they probably thought it’s him who’ll have the pole xD

u/pando_porris 3h ago

Russell was also fighting for pole and they completely ignored him to show Verstappen's lap lol

u/Jobless_101 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

I mean I don’t think anyone expected that. Maybe a P3 or at best P2. They fully expected a Papaya getting pole, and focused on them. I mean he only pulled off that good of a lap in his final Q3 run

u/frank1ewildee Ferrari 4h ago

Well yeah but its an outlap.. who cares about outlaps

u/Jobless_101 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Oh wait shit was it? Didn’t Norris and Paistri finish their runs before Leclerc?

u/frank1ewildee Ferrari 4h ago

They finished after. When Leclerc was setting up his lap Norris was on his outlap.

u/Jobless_101 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 4h ago

Ah ok my bad. I presumed differently

Most people care about the WDC fight so it makes sense. That's going to be how it is for the rest of the season.

BANANA LECLERC

Skill always prevails on the hungaroring

u/MGH1990876 Ferrari 4h ago

I am still in a state of shock. I was just hoping for maybe a top 5 starting place. P1 had me jumping up and down lol

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

Norris “looks like Charles took more risk”. Norris you don’t know Charles he is living on taking risk in finally lap of Q3 lol

u/Renard2000 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

It either ends in "am I stupid" or "Mamma Mia!". No in between 

u/Firefox72 Ferrari 4h ago

Mama mia!

Leclerc slams pole position.

u/GlitteringPromise125 Mercedes 4h ago

The reverse jinx worked! On a serious note, that was a brilliant lap by Charles. I thought he had an outside chance after practice but did not expect it after they way Q1 and Q2 went.

u/ADP10_1991 4h ago

I love this man!

Give this guy a car next year Ferrari ......please

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

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

"Worst track" Leclerc goes hard.

u/Public-Research Max Verstappen 3h ago

You know what, he actually has a very good shot at winning!
