Max Verstappen hopes Mercedes will “do me a favour” today by taking points off title rival Leclerc F1 HungarianGP
drivers have already downplayed the possibility of using team orders to help Leclerc’s title hopes.
“All the guys and girls here and also back at the factory analysed a lot last night because we were not happy at all [after practice],” Verstappen said. “I was looking forward to Q3, then of course the first lap didn’t go to plan. Then I knew the pace of the car is there. Unfortunately we couldn’t show it.”The Hungaroring is notoriously difficult for overtaking, leaving Verstappen braced for a hard race on Sunday as he tries to pick his way back up the order.“I think a lot of Sundays have shown that already this year, but around here it’s hard to pass.
