Turini: They count the chickens in the autumn.

      Italian racing journalism veteran Leo Turini is not thrilled with Ferrari's performance at the Hungaroring, but is pleased with Kimi Antonelli's result... The saying "Don't count your chickens before they hatch" came to mind for me and other Ferrari fans this weekend. What a disappointment! The dreams of millions of Ferrari supporters in Hungary crumbled almost immediately after the start. Leclerc ruined the start, Hamilton fell into Verstappen's defensive trap, and any hopes for a "red Sunday" evaporated. Moreover, the strategy chosen in the pit lane did not seem infallible. It's a pity. The pre-race expectations were not unfounded, but in the end, Lando Norris and McLaren, who had been in the shadows since the end of last year, dominated. In short, there was a chance, it was not taken, and I am little comforted by the fact that the team from Maranello slightly reduced the gap to Mercedes in the Constructors' Cup. Much needs to be fixed. Vasseur needs to use the summer break to get closer to the level of perfection required for consistent victory contention on any track. After that, allow me to shower Kimi Antonelli with the usual stream of praise. This time, "my personal Harry Potter" performed differently than usual, managing to adapt to less than favorable circumstances. He managed to climb onto the podium, although he certainly would have preferred to skip the final pit stop (he even mentioned this on the radio!) to measure his strength and achieve a sensational victory. The Italian from Bologna captivates the public's imagination more and more with each race with his maturity. He confidently leads the championship; Mercedes's merits are undeniable, but the gap between him and his teammate Russell is huge. During the break, Antonelli should not think too much about the numbers, as winning the title is indeed getting closer. Finally, I would like to note that this strange championship has once again revealed a couple of key players. Soon we will see if McLaren's success is fleeting, possibly due to the characteristics of the Hungarian track, but Norris certainly drove incredibly fast. And then, since I still consider motorsport an extraordinarily popular romance, I will dedicate the last few lines to Max Verstappen. True, he did not win, settling for second place. But he made an overtake on Hamilton, which is the sublimation of everything we believe makes a driver a phenomenon. We are lucky to enjoy such a champion!
