Despite the pace shown by the MCL36 at the Hungaroring both Norris and Ricciardo were pessimistic about their chances of being involved in the pole fight during Saturday’s qualifying session.
“But we’re always a little bit quicker in FP2 than what we end up being normally. We turn up a little bit more than what others do just to get our first reading ahead of qualifying, which is what we’ve got today. But we know everyone else, especially Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes normally step it up a lot for tomorrow.
His team-mate Ricciardo agreed and apologised to the fans after admitting he did not think they were competitive enough to fight for pole. “I also have no reason to say that we can’t fight for the front tomorrow, but obviously it’s only been a week since Le Castellet and you can only change so much. Maybe the track does suit us a bit more but, I’m sure we made a step, but probably not that big a step.”
