F1 | Hungarian GP, Ferrari ends the waltz in the third row
The weekend after the ‘Styrian clash’ marks the continues technical (and managing) fall of the Scuderia
The unbrilliant start of the 2020 season from the Cavallino seems far from been recovered. A third row full in red is the result of the Hungarian Grand Prix three qualifying sessions: after the first place in the FP2 wet grid, the rain dance started, as the only chance to scale up the standings. Rain spots have been seen only in the last few seconds of the Q3: too little to cover a big gap.

Sebastian Vettel is confident for a better weekend than the previous openers:
I think it is much better than the previous weekend. For the first time we have both cars in Q3, so I think we know that Austria didn't really suit us and we lost a lot of time in the straights, and here I think there are a lot more corners to make up for it. We take it from there, so I think it will be an interesting race tomorrow. And I don't know, the weather could play a role, so we need to make sure that we are sharp and we do our job
Charles Leclerc was outqualified from teammate and little words came out from the Monegasque:
Yes, it feels much better, fifth and sixth. And I think our race pace is a bit better than our quali pace, so hopefully we can score some good points for the team tomorrow. It was a difficult session on my side as I struggled a bit with the driving in Q1 and Q2 but got better in Q3
