The first day has had two sessions where Ferrari appears to be leading the charts quite comfortably. So, is it all going to be smooth sailing for the Italian team during qualifying? What about Mercedes? How good is the car here? Or Aston Martin? The team appears to have brought a nice little invention to the track. How will the teams perform in qualifying?

Disappointment of the session Team

If we go by the forecast then there appears to be an 80% chance of rain during the 2022 F1 Hungarian GP qualifying. If that happens, one thing that is going to be crucial during the session is a car's ability to generate temperatures into the tires. On a track like the Hungaroring where there is one corner after the other and they all come without any respite, this should ideally not be a problem for any car. Tricky FP2 for us.
