Red Bull continues with his good performances. In the second free practice of the Hungarian GP, they were again at the top two after a long time Red Bulla. Although this training was not representative and did not reflect the actual situation due to the changing conditions on the track, it must be acknowledged that the Austro-British alliance is on the rise. This was only supported by Max Verstappen, who has twice stood on the top step in the last three races. In addition, the young Dutchman is the first follower of the dominant silver arrows in third place. And that Red Bull. No Ferrari, no Vettel and no Leclerc. To the very top Red Bull there is only one more obstacle and this one is not small, because it is called Mercedes. And then they would be back where they were in the last years before the advent of hybrid technology. In 2013, with the fourth consecutive title of champion Vettl and also the team, they finished a great series.
“This morning we were surprised that they were Red Bull and Ferrari so close, ”said Lewis Hamilton after free practice. But the Briton is not surprised by the rise of the team from Milton Keynes, despite this surprise. “I think people need to remember that this team has won multiple titles. They always had a very good race car. They have Adrian Newey, one of the best designers the sport possesses. They only had this period with less power in the back than they once had, a phase where they had less vacuum than most others. ”
But that should be over now. “They definitely slowly went back to the top and started to get more and more out of this car. Both racers are doing a good job, which can be seen in the results. The other racer is also showing good performances now. I can say that they are there for the music, ”says Hamilton, who adds that it goes Red Bullu at the same time on hand also a calendar of races and in doing so pays special attention to the Hungaroring. “It’s definitely a very good race car and now we’re at the stage that lies to them. People should not forget that this car is sometimes faster on certain tracks. It is important to know that a car is not always the best throughout the season at all venues. ”
For example, Austria. “He had in Austria Red Bull for this track a better package. That is why I think we could be good here in Hungary as well. ” But high heat, which is Mercedes ’biggest problem, is not to be expected here at the Hungaroring. However, it’s not just about Hungary, so Hamilton. “I think they will be strong in Singapore as well. Then we have places like Monza where it could be different. But first we need to see what their new powertrain will look like. They are already at almost the same level as us, in some places they are even ahead of us. So I think it's going to be very interesting. "
