After an action-packed race at Silverstone concludes, all the attention turns towards the Hungarian GP. Here the arch-rivals in Mercedes and Red Bull vie for supremacy in the constructor’s championship. Both the Red Bulls will start from the second row, right behind the first-row lockout by the Silver Arrows.

Chiefly, both the RB16B had the opportunity for late improvements to finish ahead of Mercedes. However, after the second and final Q3 runs, both Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen came up from their garages. They were just behind Lewis Hamilton who was on the provisional pole. The Knight drove slowly in the pit lane and then right before the final warm-up corner in order to deny both the Red Bulls to post flying laps.

Sergio Perez doesn’t criticize Lewis Hamilton for missing his final qualifying run. However, the Mexican blames himself for starting his last run behind every car on the grid.
