Sky F1’s Karun Chandhok on why Ferrari are struggling. Karun Chandhok analysis of Ferrari's 2019 Hungarian GP.

Sky Sports F1’s Karun Chandhok analysis of Scuderia Ferrari’s 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix performance and result at the Hungaroring:

“The Hungarian Grand Prix has historically been a bit of a mixed bag – we sometimes get some very entertaining races, but we also get some snoozefests and I’m delighted that we had a good one this year.

Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were in a different league on Sunday. Their domination over the rest of the field was supreme – finishing a minute ahead of the Ferraris at the finish was beyond anything that the red camp would have expected. Ferrari just didn’t have enough downforce and a strong enough front end this weekend to fight against Red Bull or Mercedes. That was expected before the weekend but to be a minute down at the end of the race is an even bigger gap than they would have hoped for. They had the front wing angle wound up all the way but it just wasn’t enough for the twists and turns of the middle sector at the Hungaroring.

As we head into the summer break I thought it’s worth taking stock of where people are at after the first 12 races. Mercedes have clearly been the strongest overall team but Red Bull and Verstappen in particular have emerged to be their biggest challengers. Ferrari have the edge with the power units and that makes them more competitive at tracks with long straights like Baku and Bahrain.” – Karun Chandhok explained.
