Sainz given warning for impeding Verstappen
Carlos Sainz Jnr has been given an official warning by the Hungarian Grand Prix stewards for impeding Max Verstappen in first practice. The stewards said Sainz braked early on the racing line approaching Turn 12 as Verstappen came up behind on a push lap, forcing Verstappen to move right to avoid a collision. Sainz told the stewards he did not hear his engineer’s warnings because his radio cable was disconnected, and that he was braking early to warm his brakes. Verstappen said he was surprised but “did not consider the incident to be dangerous”, and the stewards issued only a warning because it happened in practice and “did not in fact endanger” Verstappen.

Komatsu on hybrid deployment masking driver differences
Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu says Formula 1’s current hybrid energy deployment is so complex that it can mask the real differences between drivers, making it hard for fans to judge performances from lap times. Komatsu said: "Honestly, the trigger is such a small difference and the consequence is too big… the fans cannot understand, looking from the lap time difference, has he actually done a bad job? Or has he just done something on the deployment that he lost two tenths, three tenths? What is the real gap? So we will get there, but at the moment it's just very complicated still."

Hungaroring names corners after drivers
The Hungaroring has announced official names for its corners as part of the Hungarian Grand Prix’s 40th anniversary celebrations, with Lewis Hamilton among the drivers honoured. The names follow a fan vote held during last year’s event, with the suggestions then reviewed by an expert panel. Alongside Hamilton, Nigel Mansell and Jean Alesi are among those to have corners named after them, and all three have also left handprints that will be cast in concrete and permanently installed in a run-off area at the circuit.
