Lewis Hamilton suffered from a DRS issue during qualifying
The latest British attempt during the Hungarian GP qualifying was aborted due to a DRS issue.
Who knows in what position he could have finished? In difficulty this Friday, the Mercedes seemed transformed for this second day of the Hungarian Grand Prix. During the qualifiers, they were at the top of the leaderboard, while they were struggling more during the other free practice sessions.
During the fast lap exercise, the two silver arrows surprised everyone. Initially, Lewis Hamilton’s time, set at the beginning of the Q3 session, was very impressive, but everything sped up in the second part. His teammate was playing with Carlos Sainz’s times, who held the provisional pole, and it seems that Lewis Hamilton wasn’t far behind.
Yes, but the seven-time world champion was unable to complete his second attempt due to an issue with his car. On the radio, driver number 44 complained about a problem with his DRS and headed towards the pit lane without completing his final lap.
He will therefore start from the seventh position, where his teammate will start from the pole position, the first of his career.
