It was a harder Friday for team mate Oscar Piastri, who lost time with an issue at the start of FP1, before then losing more time in FP2 after appearing to suffer floor damage, leading to Piastri describing “a mixed day” at the Hungaroring after claiming P7 and P13 in the respective sessions.

“I think FP1 was pretty good apart from the little reliability issue we had at the start,” he said. “FP2, we just need to understand what happened there because something was clearly not as it should be. So just need to go through that and hopefully we’ll be somewhere towards the front.
“I think the stuff from FP1 was not an issue. After that I think FP2, we probably just need to understand what exactly it was that made it so difficult.
“I think we looked competitive in FP1, Lando looked competitive in FP2 and hopefully we can get both of us back up there tomorrow,” he concluded.
