Ferrari have announced they're aiming for a "1-2 at Hungary this weekend". Possibly the most pointless press announcement ever.

Do they mean to be the first 2 cars back into the garage after the start of the race due to Ferrari reliability or will the pit wall be desperate to find yet another new and completely avoidable reason to throw the race win/decent points away?

1 to 2 retirements maybe

Weird one for albon - phantom locking rears.

so if Ferrari deliberately target DNF'ing their drivers, do we reckon they'll start getting 1-2's?

That's probably the plan. It makes more sense if you're Italian, have drunk 17 espressos and explain the new plan via shouting a lot and waving your arms around.

The Mercs seem way off the pace.

Promising for McLaren though.

Hamilton's as scruffy as I've ever seen him on that run and the one before it. Thought Merc were quietly confident about this race?

I know they've had upgrades since Monaco but the Mercedes was pretty crap round there, even with less bumps than there it's a similar downforce level here so really not sure why anyone would be expecting Mercedes to turn up and suddenly be rapid?

They may well sort it before qualifying and get closer than they have been so far but being anything other than the 3rd fastest car and a few tenths behind would be a big surprise imo.

I am hoping they are running lots of downforce for the quali in the rain tomorrow...

I'm just hoping for a wet quali full stop, I love a wet Spa circuit!

Although not last season... That didn't work out so well.

Sorry! Brainfart moment! Nothing to see here...

Although the sentiment remains, wet quali please.

Thank god it's PH, people on here are normally kind enough to not leap upon a mistake or error

Doing such a thing would just be petty

Hamilton really isn't looking happy out there.

First pics of the new Haas- quite similar to the Ferrari......

Not really other than the dished sidepods. The engine cover doesn't drop as fast (less of a fin on top), it has a winglet at the end of the halo, much bigger mirrors and intake and the wing support is much, much bigger too.

Maybe an "inspired by" but it's no pink Mercedes

It does look pretty similar though, if not to pink Mercedes levels, maybe Mr Bean in an exam levels
