2020 Hungarian Grand Prix interactive data: lap charts, times and tyres

After a surprisingly poor qualifying performance, Red Bull were considerably closer to Mercedes’ pace in the race, but still a long way off.

Max Verstappen qualified 1.4 seconds slower than Lewis Hamilton’s pole position time. Had he been that far off Hamilton’s race pace, he would have ended the race 98 seconds behind the Mercedes.

He took the chequered flag 8.7 seconds after Hamilton. While the Mercedes driver made an extra pit stop for fresh rubber so he could score the bonus point for fastest lap, even a generous allowance for the time lost would only put Hamilton around 35 seconds up the road from Verstappen – considerably less than what Red Bull’s qualify deficit suggested.

It’s a clear sign Red Bull’s problem at the Hungaroring was an inability to make the RB16 work to its full potential over a single flying lap.

For comparison, look at the differences in the same figures for Racing Point. Lance Stroll provides a useful case, as he was able to run close to the RP20’s potential for much of the race. He was 0.9s slower than Hamilton in qualifying, which would be a 63 second deficit in the race; he took the chequered flag 57 seconds behind Hamilton. Allowing for Hamilton’s pit stop, that’s clearly a much more consistent qualifying-to-race performance than the Red Bull.

Using that much improved pace, Alexander Albon gained the most places of any driver, climbing eight places to finish fifth.

Curiously, Max Verstappen was more conservative with the timing of his first pit stop than the other front runners, coming in a lap later than most to switch to slick tyres. Perhaps he feared a repeat of the pre-race crash which almost ended his race before it started?

Staying out meant he led a lap, and therefore denied Hamilton what would have been a ‘grand slam’ of pole, win, fastest lap and leading every lap.
