Hungarian Grand Prix 2024: Yeah, Max gets attacked

ANDIt’s clear that fairy tales don’t last forever, and when you’re no longer the prince of a fairy tale, things happen to you. Red Bull isn’t the dominant machine, Max isn’t taking the cap from everyone, and the radio announcements don’t sound like “Viva Las Vegas” anymore. You even see him fail.

Today he did it by blaming the car for not braking or not taking the turn. but he came out behind Lewis and made 3.14 at the start, winning the place on the flank, but he had to give it up. His old tricks are no longer working and his nerves are palpable on the radio. “Another blow, it ruins my race,” he said of his team, which twice indulged in toast with Hamilton and then Leclerc.

The thing is, Max still has a huge lead in the table, he should be more or less comfortable, but his nerves are already at the limit even against his engineer, team, etc., ignoring the instructions on caring for the tyres in recent times. restriction. His last attack, almost flying when he touched Hamilton, was unexpected and even unnecessary, because he loses more points.

It seems that you see more problems than the rest of the world. Perhaps he knows that Mercedes is also unstoppable and that podiums will also cost him dearly. The World Championship will certainly appreciate that.

Nobody understands McLaren, and even more so with a guy like Andrea Stella in charge of operations, who has already seen them in all colors at Ferrari. Today’s sketch was a failure: there was more melodrama on the radio than problems on the track, and there were already personal messages…. “You can’t win the World Cup alone, you can win it with your team and Oscar,” they even told Lando. An incredible doublet with a bitter taste.

With a confident double from the first laps, the final “undercut” from Norris to Piastri, the deserved leader, creating unnecessary tension between the two drivers (only they saw a possible attack from Hamilton), once again shows that he is still young in the wall and lacks a waist. Such remnants can cost them dearly at the end of the championship. It’s either mushrooms or a Rolex. Poor Piastri apologizes for winning, and Lando apologizes for losing… awesome.

Fernando Alonso’s eventful career with hot radio, in the style of hot racing, too, with Verstappen and Norris. On the new AMR24, he got off to a good start, taking place, up to sixth, and even warned on the radio that the pace was better than expected, but he had to quickly pull into the pits, and also got “cut” by Haas liked the one in Hulkenberg, who soon switched to hard and was faster than the rest, even showing the fastest lap at that time. Fernando came out a lap later, but was no longer able to respond and lost the place.

“I still don’t understand why we stopped, but okay,” said the Spaniard, leaving the first stop already in gear. The others were doing the same, a backbreaking job. Shortly after, having left Nico behind and having been warned that Stroll would soon be coming in and would be right behind him, Fernando also made it clear on the radio: “I don’t want to know, man, I already know that I lost the race along with everyone else.” The plan was not to fight with Haas, but much higher, and only on lap 28 Fernando was able to overtake the German, who was especially inspired today.
