The major issue that cost Lewis Hamilton a shot at pole position at the HungarianGP F1
, leaving Hamilton even more frustrated about what was possible without the issue.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff apologised to Hamilton after qualifying over team radio: “Sorry for the f***-up with the DRS.”“I just had my DRS not working, otherwise huge congratulations to George, it’s an amazing feeling to get the first pole position, and it is huge for the team, we don’t know where the pace all of a sudden came from, it came from nowhere, that’s a huge positive.
“I’ll do what I can tomorrow to support him, he should be able to win from that position at this track, and I’ll try and work my way up.”Hamilton believes he could have challenged for pole position without his DRS failure. “For sure, for sure. It’s definitely… frustrating to finally after all the struggles that we had not be able to fight for the front row and do it but they’ll be other times.
“I don’t know where our race pace is gonna be now because yesterday we were slow in both, but maybe all of a sudden we found something, if we have great, and if that’s for both of us hopefully we can attack tomorrow.”Wolff conceded that it was “bittersweet” for Mercedes after squandering potentially their first front-row lockout since Saudi Arabia last year.
