The Hungarian Grand Prix arrives this week on the Formula 1 calendar before the one-month holiday break, with Max Verstappen (Red Bull) in a comfortable position as leader of the World Championship, Ferrari’s obligation to react and the options they may have the Spanish Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso (Alpine) in a weekend that announces rain and therefore surprises.
Last year was one of the most exciting in the ‘Great Circus’, with that last race, that last lap in Abu Dhabi in which the World Cup was decided. Now, the current champion Verstappen can close the equator of the course with half a championship in his pocketas he arrives in Hungary with 233 points, 63 more than Charles Leclerc.
The appointment motivates Fernando Alonso, who will turn 41 this Friday. In addition, the Alpine won last year on the Hungarian track with the first victory of Esteban Ocon, in an exhibition by the man from Oviedo defending his teammate from the attacks of Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), with which the scenario adapts and the memories push to an Alonso who has scored points for seven races in a row.
Meanwhile, after his spectacular comeback in France, Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) will also look for his option before the break. The man from Madrid, who changed his engine last week but finished fifth on Sunday, does not rule out anything in the World Cup, fourth with 144 points, to 163 from Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) and 170 from his teammate Leclerc.
