PIRELLI STRATEGY GUIDE: What are the tyre and pit stop options for the drivers in the Hungarian Grand Prix?
McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have locked out the front row for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen lurking just behind in P3. With help from F1 tyre suppliers Pirelli, Matt Youson runs through the potential strategic options to the teams and drivers on race day in Budapest.
What’s intriguing about this circuit is that passing isn’t conditional on top speeds and downforce levels (we’ll have a bit of that next week at Spa) but much more about tyres and managing rear degradation.
