McLaren still expects to struggle in low-speed corners with the MCL60 this year despite both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri putting a strong performance in HungarianGP qualifying. F1
Although Norris admitted to some surprise in his qualifying rewards, he suggested that the Hungaroring is closer to a medium-speed circuit layout, despite its reputation as a downforce-heavy venue.
"The slower speed is where we struggle. so where we’re the worst is in the chicane, Turn 1, and Turn 12. That’s where we lose a lot of our time, but definitely close, to be only eight hundredths off pole position. "I'm happy, the team are doing a great job. I'm very proud of the progress we’ve made. I guess I'm surprised to be in P3, but a good surprise, especially with Oscar in P4."Motorsport Images
"Here in Hungary, even though we say it's low-speed stuff, there's also a lot of medium speed and it's actually a track dominated by medium speed," explained Stella. "In terms of understanding the picture, it's clear that thanks to the development, in addition to the high speed competitiveness, we have added now the medium speed territory in which we seem to be competitive.
