Updates, news, results, Ricciardo’s anger about the F1 backflip

At a time that wasn’t very fun at Renault, Daniel Ricciardo is probably in the best position for some good points this season.

He is currently eighth with 21 laps remaining, has fresh tires, drove a nice race and is targeting Sergio Perez and Alex Albon.

“He has a very decent race, Ricciardo, and I think it will pay off towards the end of the race,” said Martin Brundle.

Red Bull will stand in front of the stewards in front of Alexander Albon’s car after the road drying race

“Potential problems for Red Bull – they were called to the stewards after the race for allegedly drying Alex Albon’s crate before the race.”

It is not what you need.

Stepping also seems to be on the verge of losing second place on the grid within 24 seconds with Bottas.

Rain was threatened throughout the race, but no one has come yet.

At half-time, Lewis Hamilton is 20 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. Lance Stroll’s box drops him third behind Valtteri Bottas.

Daniel Ricciardo is fifth, but the drivers are in the pits, he is more ninth with another box.

Max Verstappen crashed on the parade round of the Hungarian Grand Prix and it looked like his bad week had gotten a whole lot worse, but it could have been a stroke of luck.

Verstappen returned to second place after leaving the race within 30 minutes.

According to David Croft of Sky Sports, it was “messy” in the first laps when each team pitted in the first five laps to get dry tires after the teams had driven conservatively before the rain.

Everyone except Haas, who had to change tires before the start of the race.

After 10 laps, Kevin Magnussen finished third and Romain Grosjean fifth.

It’s placed wonderfully for a shock result, but shaking it in the belt has thrown a lot of wrenches into the works throughout the race.

After 13 laps, Lewis Hamilton was 12 seconds ahead of Magnussen 10 seconds before Verstappen, throwing a blanket over the rest of the drivers.

Only Williams’ Nicholas Latifi broke from points fighting after a flat tire after an early pit release when he collided with McLaren’s Carlos Sainz.

After his nightmare start with the fall, before the race even started, Max Verstappen made the jump for everyone – from seventh to third place.

It was a crazy start when Lewis Hamilton stayed in first place while the rest of the grid was all messed up.

Valtteri Bottas could have started in front of the lights watched by the stewards, but has little to defend.

He dropped from second on the grid to sixth.

Bottas and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc pitted in the first lap to change the tires.

The race hasn’t even started yet, but Red Bulls Max Verstappen has already crashed on the parade lap.

Verstappen came around a corner, slid against the wall and knocked off his front wing.

“You don’t see that,” said David Croft. “You don’t see that too often on the way to the grid.”

Since Verstappen is expected to fight for the championship and is already qualifying seventh, this is probably the last thing the Dutch driver wanted.

And with teammate Alexander Albon in 13th place, it could be a long day for Red Bull – just like the grid with light rain, which makes it difficult.

Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle said it was a warning to the grid how slippery and difficult it would be to drive in Hungary.

Daniel Ricciardo expressed his frustration after it became known that stewards would take a different decision if Lance Stroll’s attack on the Australian star took place in Hungary.

It was the penultimate round of the race when Ricciardo, who had held back Stroll for more than 20 laps, was pushed far by the Racing Point driver.

Ricciardo dropped from sixth to eighth and finished less than a second behind both Racing Point drivers when McLaren’s Lando Norris moved from eighth to fifth.

“First of all, he didn’t really come over, he forced both of us off the track,” Ricciardo told Sky Sports F1.

“I will always be critical of myself and I should close the door, but I don’t think he ever took the step, so I think it was desperate.

“If he pushes me off but stays on the line, that’s fair enough, then I should definitely have blocked. But if he takes the both of us off, it’s not a move. I come out of the top to avoid crashing. “

This was before the move was allowed.

Ricciardo told Autosport that if it happened again they would switch positions.

“I think, based on the facts, they accepted that they did something different,” he said. “But as soon as Sunday night passes and Monday is over, the results are fixed. And you can’t go back and change positions or something.” So obviously a little frustrated.

“It’s a little bit reassuring to know that if you go forward, that won’t last. So we can take that.

“But I just felt back then that it should have been clearer and more obvious. And part of the conversation was also around me when I got off the track.

“But obviously it wasn’t my choice. I didn’t go there for fun. And we talked about it. They basically admitted that they would do it differently next time. “

The move also appeared to trigger a Renault protest against the brake lines being investigated by the FIA.

The rest of the grid now takes pictures at Racing Point after quickly developing from the 2019 Mercedes drawings and having questions about the legality of the team’s rapid redevelopment.

With dramatic changes now planned for 2022, the FIA ​​implemented a cost-saving token system for the post-COVID world in which the teams were allowed to make two changes.

Since Racing Point has taken over its parts from the Mercedes of recent years, they use a gap that is not covered by the token system and give the team an enormous development boost compared to other teams that are hampered by the token system.

“We are not satisfied with the fact that there are teams that are allowed to improve their entire package from 2019 to 2020,” said Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto, as quoted by Auto Motor und Sport.

“This is unfair to those who are only allowed to touch two parts. This limit should apply to everyone.

“We have already registered our tokens.”

It seems the war is just beginning.
