Overview
- Racing Bulls recovered from a tricky FP1 on Friday by making more between‑session setup changes than usual, which delivered a stronger showing in FP2.
- Liam Lawson made a specific final‑lap adjustment on soft tyres that the team says improved rear‑end balance and helped his FP2 run.
- Lawson lowered his best time to 1:20.041 in FP2, moving from 10th in FP1 to 7th in the second session and finishing 1.312 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton's FP2 pace.
- The team will continue overnight refinements to the VCARB 03 and use FP3 to focus on corner‑entry stability and traction through the final sector with the immediate goal of reaching Q3 in qualifying.
- Those Hungaroring tweaks build on a midseason upgrade first introduced in Canada and validated in Barcelona that improved high‑speed balance and tyre life and now aim to turn practice speed into qualifying and race points.
