But overall, I’m reasonably happy with how it went. I think we had a good day with the upgrades we brought and now we’ll see how we can improve for tomorrow. It’s going to be a close battle, as always, and I’m looking forward to it.
With the field looking so closely matched, it sets up an exciting qualifying session on Saturday ahead of the race on Sunday. Will Norris be able to maintain his pace and secure pole position, or will Verstappen and Red Bull come out on top once again? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – it’s shaping up to be a thrilling weekend of racing at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Sainz also noted that Ferrari seemed to be back in the ballpark of their rivals in terms of one-lap pace, which is a positive sign for the team.
Leclerc’s early retirement in Practice One due to a crash into the wall was a setback, but overall it seems like Ferrari are making progress in their performance.
It will be interesting to see how they fare in qualifying and the race, especially in the hot conditions that have been challenging for many teams this weekend.
