ASMR F1 2024 Hungarian GP Review / #f1 #f12024 Video

Introduction

Welcome once again to this series of videos where I take a simple look at each Grand Prix in the 2024 Formula One World Championship from a fan’s perspective. Rather than delving into technicalities, I will provide a rundown of the race results, driver standings, and constructor standings. Let's dive in!

Recap of the Race at the Hungaro Ring

The Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaro Ring in Budapest holds the longest unbroken run of races among current circuits. The inaugural race in 1986 was won by PK, and it has since seen its share of memorable moments, including Mansell’s dramatic wheel nut issue in 1987 and his remarkable 1989 victory starting from 12th position. Initially not favored for its exciting races, modern cars have since revitalized the circuit's reputation.

Key Points and Analysis

Strategy and Decisions

Norris’ Pit-Stop Strategy: Despite being the fastest driver, Norris was disadvantaged by being called into the pit first to cover Hamilton, which inadvertently led to his need to let Piastri through later.

Hamilton vs. Verstappen Clash: Verstappen's collision with Hamilton was deemed his fault due to a lock-up, despite holding a more considerable car width. However, it was agreed that it wasn’t intentional, leaving Verstappen unpenalized.

Perez's Future: Perez's performance continues to falter, raising questions about his future in the team. He is on the edge, and anything he does is magnified, pushing Red Bull to consider a replacement despite the legal complexities.

McLaren Development: Impressive performances from Piastri and Norris are uplifting McLaren, closing the gap on Red Bull in constructors' points despite strategic errors.

Post-Race Thoughts

Despite another eventful and controversial race, the championship battle remains distant with Verstappen leading substantially. Yet, the season's intensity is comparable to 2021 due to each race's internal strife and on-track battles, independent of the championship outlook. The recovery drives of Russell and Perez, their mitigating circumstances, and the intricacies of their team dynamics add layers to the unfolding drama.
