‘Mercedes will have to think on their feet to beat Max’
Date published:
Damon Hill has said that Red Bull are the team to beat at this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, and Mercedes will have to be creative with their strategy to pull off a win.
Despite the enormous success that Lewis Hamilton has enjoyed in Budapest – with a record eight wins at the Hungaroring in the past – the 1996 World Champion believes the nature of the circuit will play more into Red Bull’s hands than the reigning Drivers’ and Constructors’ champions.
Because of this, he feels that Mercedes are going to have to out-fox their rivals to succeed at the weekend and take the lead of the Constructors’ Championship heading into the summer break.

While Esteban Ocon is unsure about Alpine’s pace, he feels their fighting spirit can see them prevail in the battle for P5 in the standings.
The French team, then known as Renault, finished P5 in the Constructors’ Championship last season after being in the fight for P3 for most of the year, but things have not gone as well in 2021 so far.
With McLaren remaining strong and Ferrari and AlphaTauri improving,
Alpine are currently down in P7, just behind Red Bull’s ‘sister’ team and also Aston Martin.
