The Hungarian GP: Oscar PIASSTRI rotates from Lando Norris in the third practice, as Max Versaben struggles before the qualifiers | F1 news

Oscar Baysteri, his teammate Lando Norris, took out to the highest final practice in the Grand Grand Prix, where the battle between the McLaren duo increased before the qualifiers.

After ranked second in Norris in both sessions on Friday, about the leader of the world PiaSSTRI tables to his teammate to hit the first strike on Saturday, only three hundred per second.

In what has become quickly a bilateral horse race for drivers’ title between McLaren’s husband, PiaSSTRI occupies a 16 -point progress on Norris in the final race before the summer vacation on Sunday.

The time of 1: 14.916 PiaSSTRI was more than three tenths of the Norris Pole effort in Budapest last year, with a highlight of the amazing level of the performance produced by the leaders of the Brundaway Pressidents constantly in 2025.

Ferrari was the best in the rest, as Charles Licerirk finished four tenths behind Pastari in third place. Luis Hamilton ranked fourth, but he remained out of the pace of his teammate with three tenths separating them.

It seems that Max Verstapen’s pursuit of the fifth consecutive world championship is scheduled to suffer from another blow, as it seemed that Red Bull is getting worse with the Dutchman only twelfth place and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda nineteenth.

Verstapen, who recently confirmed on Thursday that he intends to stay in Red Bull for the 2026 season, is already followed by 81 points in drivers ranking.

Kimi Antonelli finished fifth to surpass his teammate Mercedes George Russell on the eighth, as the British was amazingly behind the Aston Martin Martin Fernando Alonso and Lancersol.

Gabriel Portolito from Sapper and Nika Holkenburg collected the first ten places, as a team appeared in a good position to extend a series of five holidays in the successive grand prize race in which they scored points.

Perhaps the most dramatic moment came in the session when ISCK Hadjar avoided having difficulty with the barrier as the Racing Bulls driver restored his car under control after rotating in the final sector.

Red Bull has often struggled in practice before Versabne found a remarkable improvement in the qualifiers, but team manager Laurent Mecs – supervising his second race only since his replacement of Christian Horner – admitted his team against it.

In the post -session interview, Mecs told Sky SPORTS F1: “We have been struggling since yesterday. It was very difficult to put the car in the right window to give Max and Yuki the right feeling.

“We have tried a number of things to change the car, but I must say, it’s the same feeling today and (we) does not find a grip in general.

“It is not comfortable, but this position in which you learn some things, so we try to do some tests to understand the place of restrictions.”

Red Bull struggles – if they continue – will eventually be a side width as PiaSSTRI and Norris share another battle, which is likely to start the absence of the margin between them, which the driver can be able to deliver from the cleanest roll in the closing stages of the Q3.
