With the Qualifying concluding in the Hungaroring, the F1 world is stunned by the result at the end of the session. George Russell grabs the maiden pole position of his career and the first for Mercedes in 2022. Mr. Saturday has returned and has delivered a dream result for the team.

Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff was in high spirits after the session as he said, “We just said that we have to write down everything we did this morning including the food and the drinks have drank to replicate. We will take it.”

“The truth is we saw it at the beginning of qualifying that our tyres were in the right window and the car was balanced, and everything come together. They drove it really well and gained confidence from run to run and that was the result.”

He further reflected on Hamilton ending up in P7 because of a DRS issue “In there moments, you want to cry of joy for the pole position because you know the car was good for him [Lewis] to be there as well. So very bitter sweet”

Can Mercedes win the Hungarian GP?

The Hungary GP is also renowned as the ‘Monaco GP without walls’. It gets this title as the downforce is the most essential aspect of this circuit and overtaking in the race is highly difficult. Given that, starting at P1 is a major boost for the German camp.

The strength of the Silver arrows has been its race pace this season. Time and time again, both Russell and Hamilton have turned around their fortunes on Sunday. Remarkable, the seven-time world champion is on a streak of 4-consecutive podium finishes, while the 24-year-old has finished every race, that he has finished, in the top 5 this year.

The Austrian boss is adamant about their chances as he said “Let’s see what we can do with that tomorrow in the race and if we have the pace there (rubs nose) then we can be part of the funny games in the front again. If we can maintain the position at the start and be first coming out of the first lap then have some solid stops. Why not? We can win this.”
