P1racenews AI automatic summary:
After reaching a new height in Belgium, it is back to difficulties for Yuki Tsunoda in Hungary.
Yuki Tsunoda faced another disappointing qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix, getting eliminated in Q1 once again.
This was a stark contrast to his impressive performance in Belgium the previous week, where he secured his highest qualifying position as a Red Bull driver, finishing seventh.
Red Bull has historically struggled at the Hungaroring, but Tsunoda showed signs of improvement, outperforming Max Verstappen in qualifying.
Although Tsunoda ended up in 16th place in Q1, missing out on the next stage by a mere 0.024 seconds, he was not far behind Verstappen.
Despite the setback, Tsunoda was within 0.163 seconds of Verstappen, who advanced to Q2 in 11th place, marking Tsunoda’s fourth Q1 elimination in the last eight races.
Also failing to progress from Q1 alongside Tsunoda were Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg, and Alex Albon.
