Maybe yes, Max will have a slipstream on the faster softs, just hoping they dont take each other out, this is a very real possibility .
But defiantly advantage Mercedes.

But defiantly advantage Mercedes.
They didn't even ask Max about the gamesmanship. I'm sure Horner will vent after the break though.
Now I understand. Thanks.
Red Bull, I feel, will really regret poking the bear.
did you really expect anything else, he will get that for the rest of the season, wait until Holland, it will drown out the sound of the cars.
Absolutely. Maybe they have been drinking Horners Kool-aid.
watching Lewi's pole wining lap , it was pretty epic.
But why in Hungary?
That pole was 2 seconds off last years lap, 2 seconds! 2020 lap times are going to be the benchmark for years.
I don't know how the teams think about when to send their cars out in Q3, and for sure there's an inherent risk to going out last because you could be forced to make a dash for the line and not be able to optimize the tyre temperature.
But let's not act like Mercedes didn't quite intentionally squeeze back the Red Bulls there, and it's not something we ser going on most weekends. Whatever Hamilton was doing on his out lap was very much outside the norm because his own tyres were clearly shit and his last lap was 2 seconds off the time.

It's almost like Hamilton has been fired up by something in the past couple of weeks.
Did you not see what he did or just pretending to not see it?
I think most people that follow F1 and are not british are very much rooting against him for obvious reasons.
Really loving the rivalry this season, very entertaining. Lewis is so unlikeable and dirty, though. Rooting for Verstappen.
Act like a dick and be treated like a dick in return? They don’t deserve sportsmanship after the way they behaved.
He did nothing wrong, did nothing against the rules.
RB could have come out first but Lewis and Bottas controlled the track.
Horner has just said he would maybe done the same, so whats the problem ?
Didn't Hamilton criticise their anti LGBTQ+ laws? That's probably why.
Huge respect for him for doing so.
Except it wasn’t, both Red Bulls would have made the line if Perez has not misjudged it.
Horner himself just said there was nothing in it really and lord knows he would love to have a go.
Of course not, but any chance of sportsmanship between the two teams is absolutely gone. People can’t be surprised at that after Silverstone and all that followed it.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, no rules were broken. It was great to see
Are there stats on that?
Don't care what Horner says, it was a cheap trick regardless who does it.
He spoke out in favour of LGBTQ+ rights? I’m only kidding, of course everyone hates the guy that’s been winning for years. Happens in all sports.
I was watching Q3 but didn't see anything wrong.
Max could have easily passed Hamilton if he had wanted. But was trying to get an advantage. Didn't pay off.
His choice.
What did Max do on track that was dirty to Hamilton? Or are you suggesting Lewis is petty enough to take Max's comments on him onto the track?
Act like a dick and be treated like a dick in return? They don’t deserve sportsmanship after the way they behaved.
Can't disagree with that.
OK so you are the fourth person here that doesn't know the pilots had agreed between themselves not to overtake. Max simply chose to honor that agreement.
Talk about being petty...If the cap fits...
The bias here is unreal. Then again, maybe it's not fair to expect that in a British forum. Maybe this is how the opposition fans feel when they come on here for football stuff
Yes but they are allowed to go past him. Their speed is on them it's not like they are forced to keep position like behind a safety car.
Perhaps because of his LBGTQ views
It literally had no impact on the timings, but I’m sure everyone will moan for the next 24 hours 
The honourable Max. My hero.
It’s an Irish forumThe bias here is unreal. Then again, maybe it's not fair to expect that in a British forum. Maybe this is how the opposition fans feel when they come on here for football stuff
The analysis guy on Sky Germany mentioned it, not sure what's his name.
Apparently it was 2:10mins instead of 2:14mins.

That was very much unsportsmanlike from Lewis and Merc. Never said it's illegal. I'm sure everyone on here would be fuming if the tables were turned.
Anyway, I'm out of this thread. It's clear there is a bias to Hamilton here. Which I get with his nationality. No point in arguing further.
Agreed, quite rare these days innit.
Goodbye.
I must say I do really like Lando.
