Za Hamilton his teammate ranked Valtteri Bottas, which was only behind the British 0,086 seconds, but Finn has reached his time on medium mixture gum. The first pursuer silver arrows he was in a black appearance Sergio Perez from the team Racing Point, who was more than half a second behind Hamilton at soft mixtures tires.

Results of today's first free practice of the Hungarian GP.

Bad second for Hamilton the Mexican teammate was in fourth place Lance stroll, which was also shod in a soft rubber compound. He scored the fifth time on a medium tire mix Daniel Ricciardo from the team Renault, which was about 1,2 seconds behind. He was sixth Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari, which is for Hamilton lagged by 1,235 seconds despite the soft rubber compound.

Mercedes ’dominance this season has been confirmed by Valtteri Bottas in second place.

Directly for Vettel his teammate ranked Charles Leclerc. Racer Red Bulla Max Verstappen despite the soft mix he couldn’t go any further than to eighth place, he was ninth Lando Norris from McLaren and rounds out the top ten Esteban Ocon from Renault, which is for Hamilton already trailing by more than 1,5 seconds. From eleventh place onwards, the racers ranked as follows: Carlos Sainz, Kevin Magnussen, Alexander Albon, Romain Grosjean, Nicholas Latifi, Daniil Kvjat, Antonio Giovinazzi, George Russell, Robert Kubica (instead of Kimi Raikkonen) and Pierre Gasly.

The Racing Point team from race to race proves that they have an excellent race car this year.

Because they are Monako in Singapore dropped out this year, it is Hungary this time the slowest race of the season. Because of this, most teams are compared to Austria installed special on race cars High-Downforce dele. Here the biggest difference is seen on the rear wings and on the so-called T-wings. Because of this, we saw many at the beginning of training aerodynamic measuring instruments and a special color.

Based on this, we were able to observe new end plates rear wing at the race car Red Bull Racing. The bad news, however, came from the camp this time Honda, because Pierre Gasly he couldn’t even drive on the track because they are The Japanese found irregularities on its drive unit.

Pri Red Bullwith today’s first workout they can’t be satisfied.

Due to lower temperatures, we experienced a lot braking errors. The focus was braking zone in the first turn, where it has become almost folklore to smoke at the right front tire. Sergio Perez he even destroyed his tire. Robert Kubica however, he staged a minor spin immediately after leaving the pits.

They can be even less satisfied with Ferrari, which also continues to perform poorly in Hungary and lag far behind Mercedes.

They caused more unrest Max Verstappen in Nicholas latifi. The young Dutchman felt hampered by the Canadian, which resulted in less reckoning between them. When it's Verstappen later encountered again Latifia and barely able to dodge, he turned slightly in the direction of overtaking Canadian. Through the radio, however, he complained strongly about this year a newcomer to Formula 1.
