Oscar piastry Qualifying for Hungary’s Grand Prix was “bizarre and somewhat disappointing” as a rival Charles Lakeler Taking a shock of pole, left it in another place and Lando Noris In the third.
Championship leader Piastry, which was Fast in final practice Earlier on Saturday, the bus was Q3 0.026 seconds from leclercWhile Noris Both topping In Friday’s practice sessions.
As the clouds raised the air between Q2 and Q3 and the wind, it was observed in the changing conditions that cars have performed separately in the final shootouts for the position of pole with McLaren drivers that are unable to improve their lap time.
When asked by reporters how to keep the qualifying session, Piastry said: “Depends on where you are sitting. If you are sitting, Charles is fantastic. If you are sitting, I am sitting, bizarre and somewhat disappointing.
“But yes, I mean, I think the circumstances changed completely, and it was just strange. My first lap looked very terrible because I was giving too much and kind of push to the wind direction from the first two sessions. So, so I felt as if I did a better job in the second lap to manage expectations, and it was even worse.
“So yes, a bizarre session, but I need to look back and see what difference it opinions. Things definitely feel more difficult for themselves in Q3, but I think it would be difficult for everyone. So it is not our excuse.”
When the same question was placed for Noris, which starts from the second line next to the fourth place George RussellHe said: “I will copy and paste right now, yes. Exactly the same.
“Q2 felt very nice, feeling confident to improve. Therefore, in Q3, the target for a uniform lap time, similar limitations, and simply felt very terrible. The same things.
“I was not surprised that I was 1: 15.4 in the first run. But in the second lap, it is difficult to know how much to push or not. And I was so, oh, it’s much better lap, and I was 1: 15.4. So that’s the thing that is the same.
“When you are driving, the car has such a huge impact on the car. Half of the second swing is quite easy. Therefore, yes, disappointment because we definitely have a good gap, but in Q3 it seemed that it is more as a team for others.”
Another on the grid may probably work in favor of the piastry, as he took his first Formula 1 victory in the last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix from the second place on the grid in Hungary.
Looking forward for Sunday’s race – the last Grand Prix before the August break – he said “he was feeling very confident.
“It was good last year, so it is expected that it could be good again this year. But yes, as Charles said, there is some rain around. We will see if it affects the race. But I think our speed has been good, but Charles in a few weekends, all weekends have become quick in weekends.
He said, “This is a very difficult track that is a very difficult track to get ahead, and it is not the easiest place to try and regain the lead,” he said.
