Hungarian Grand Prix: free practice on Friday

First part of free practice

Cloudy. Dry. Air +32…31С, route +55…48С

Over the weekend at the Hungaroring there is a good chance of rain and thunderstorms, but closer to Saturday and Friday morning it was almost as hot as last week in Paul Ricard. Pirelli brought the same compositions that were in France – it remained only to adjust the settings and get started with new products.

At Alfa Romeo for the second weekend in a row, Robert Kubica temporarily replaced Valtteri Bottas in the first practice session, the rest of the teams teamed up with the lead drivers.

Red Bull Racing compared different solutions on Perez’s car – Sergio took to the track with aerodynamic sensors, as did Lando Norris in McLaren. Perez complained of allergies, sneezed several times – and returned to the pits.

Haas F1 brought a seriously updated car, but only one – Kevin Magnussen got it and Mick Schumacher drove the old one.

The session went smoothly. At the very beginning, Alonso nearly crashed into Stroll, who braked on the exit of Turn 3 – the Spaniard had to leave the track to avoid contact. Hamilton, Alonso and Tsunoda visited the safety zones after mistakes with no consequences for the cars.

The protocol was led by Carlos Sainz with a lap time of 1:18.750.
