2024 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix Highlights

Under the Hungarian heat, Aston Martin drivers finished the 2024 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix in P10 and P11, earning the team a hard-earned point.

Lance and Fernando opted for similar strategies. They each had a set of Soft tyres saved for the Grand Prix, which both drivers chose to start the race on. Fernando switched to Mediums at the end of Lap 7. Seven laps later, Lance also switched to the Medium compound. Their final pitstops were for Hard tyres. For Fernando, this came on Lap 37. Lance’s final pitstop was at the end of Lap 45. Lance finished the Hungarian Grand Prix in P10, followed by Fernando in P11.

Unfortunately, we missed out on the points today and didn’t quite optimise our race. We pitted quite early, and from that point on, we had quite a long race ahead managing the tyres. It’s the first long-distance we’ve done with the new package, so we need to analyse our new updates and learn more ahead of Belgium next week.

It was a difficult race for us. I don’t think we optimised the strategy and were not competitive enough. We struggled with tyre degradation, too. We’ve got a lot of work to do as a team ahead of the next round. Spa is a very different track, so hopefully, that suits our car more.

Mike Krack, Team Principal:

We leave Budapest with a hard-earned point, but there seems to have been potential for slightly more today. Lance and Fernando drove well, making strong overtakes across their stints. The focus now shifts to Spa, and we will continue pushing hard to be more competitive next weekend and have a positive finish before the summer break.
