Here we go for the Hungarian Grand Prix. With Leclerc on pole and the Astons locking out the third row, we might be in for a surprise. Or are we? Hwdge your Bracky bets wisely. Welcome to the Hungarian GP live chat.

No F1 in Malaysia in the near future. https://paultan.org/2025/08/20/formula-1-is-not-coming-back-to-sepang-says-sic/

The F1 "S-duct".

See the outlets highlighted in yellow in the first photo?

Those are the outlets for the S-duct.

The S-duct is a way for F1 engineers to manage dirty or turbulent air at the front of the car.

In the second photo, you can see a blue outline. This area of the wing creates significant dirty air flowing downstream, reducing downforce, and slowing the car.

Instead of allowing that dirty air to flow the length of the car, engineers invented the S-duct to control the air back up over the nose by releasing it from the outlet shown in the first photo.

Using inlets beside, underneath, and behind the front-wing, they can direct air through the nose of the car in an s-shaped pattern. 

In the third photo, you can see the s-shape and how it manages the dirty air through the nose bodywork. 

From the right side of the photo, the air enters clean (green) but quickly turns dirty (red). At that point, the S-duct inlet catches the dirty air and directs it up while allowing cleaner air to pass underneath or above.

In motorsports, how well the front of the car directs and controls air dictates how the rest of the car can direct and control air. The S-duct is a unique innovation which helps that pursuit, making the car faster through downforce.

Awesome technical analysis on front wing dirty air and S-ducts!

F1 really is the James Bond of Sports.

Very, very suave.

Who’s your favorite rookie this year?

I like Kimi and Bortoleto, I’m excited to see what kind of energy they bring to their home track the second half of the season

No racing this weekend but I was blessed to have my own GP at a F1 arcade lol

It was so much fun! I highly recommend going with a group of friends!

My song recently showed an interest in F1 so I’ve been diving into it with him; absolutely loving it. 

Can someone explain to a noob like me how McLaren has such an insane point lead?? Is that the case every season?

So what’s everyone doing this weekend without F1?

I have been very impressed with Bortoleto’s performance this year especially with the second half of the year and with the vehicle he has.

What does everyone think? Who’s your favorite rookie this year?

PALMER: Bortoleto's Hungary performance puts him firmly in the running for rookie of the year

This is the theme of this season for George Russell

If you care an ounce about Farcaster and F1 go endorse this brilliant suggestion.

Lmao I know this was on everyone’s mind in the last GP 😂
