After getting pole at Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying, Lewis Hamilton says Red Bull “don’t have the [DRS] advantage they used to have”, and asks: “Where did that go?”
At Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying, Lewis Hamilton finally managed to get his first pole position in a year and a half, and he had to beat Max Verstappen for it.
After the session he was asked to comment on the fact that the field seems to be catching up to Red Bull.
“They have slowed down quite a bit from the beginning of the year,” the Briton said.
“Look at DRS, they don’t have the advantage they used to have – where did that go?

“They had an upgrade so we would have expected them to take a nice step, we heard it was around two tenths or something like that. For them to not extract that for Qualifying is interesting.
“But I think in the race they are still the quickest. They will be very hard to beat tomorrow. We are just as surprised as everyone else.
“Definitely interesting to see some of the deficits and how it’s changed from race to race and how we have all closed up,” Hamilton concluded.
