In the first interview after qualifying it is Toto wolff said: “First of all, I am angry that we failed. The pole was at hand, but from our side it just wasn’t enough. I thought it might work out, but we didn’t have the fastest race car today. Red Bull was faster here with Verstappn. Hungaroring has always been Red Bullthis territory. That should be easy to say. ”
Of course, we can also see it this way, but the statistics still speak a different language. Only two wins (Webber in 2010 and Ricciardo in 2014) go to the bill Red Bulla, Mercedes has won here three times and an additional two more as an engine supplier.
Anyway, Toto wolff eventually acknowledging the competitor’s score. "We can also see that Honda is also able to make a fast engine." This puts Mercedes in a difficult starting position in tomorrow's race. “Unfortunately, overtaking is so difficult. But we have two race cars behind Max, which makes us perhaps have more options with strategy. Of course, a lot will also depend on the start. We have to do it well, it is possible to get a place and then everything will be possible. ”
