The updated qualification format for the Hungarian Grand Prix, in which only the Hard line-up will be available in the first session, only Medium in the second, and only Soft in the final, not all riders like it. Charles Leclerc believes that this format will only complicate the task, since there is an additional variable that can lead to an error.
Charles Leclerc: “It’s going to be a tough weekend as there are now three practice sessions to work out a lot of different options with the new format in mind. Of course, additional opportunities may appear, but there is also a high probability of making a mistake that will ruin the weekend. But that’s part of the game.
However, I do not think that the risk of error should become part of our sport. I believe that the strongest should win. There is an element of suspense waiting for us this weekend, but the more teams learn about the new format, the sooner the usual alignment of forces will return. Perhaps after qualifying we will understand the format better, but the session will definitely be difficult, considering what tires are available to us.
The Ferrari driver commented on AlphaTauri’s decision to fire Nick de Vries and invite Daniel Ricciardo in his place: “It’s very difficult for Nick now. Yesterday I sent him a message, because I am sure that such a decision is difficult to make.
I’m sorry, and I think he was treated too harshly. On the other hand, I’m happy to see Daniel back in the paddock. What is happening is part of Formula 1, but, as I said, Nick was treated too harshly.
