Formula 1 fans had a little too much fun at the expense of Ferrari, whose team strategy arguably cost them a chance at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
While Max Verstappen was able to take advantage, it was team Ferrari which was the storyline from Hungary. Some curious strategy choices cost their drivers a chance at victory.
Several curious decisions on pit row let Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc down, as the pair finished in fourth and sixth place, respectively.
F1 driver of the day
Verstappen has to be the F1 driver of the day, as he was able to survive some tough elements and didn’t fall for any curious strategy on Ferrari’s end that may have stumped other drivers.

Ferrari F1: Best memes and tweets
Ferrari’s awful strategy led to them being the butt of many jokes on social media. The growth of the sport as a whole has led to many junior strategists on Twitter’s end.
However, this has been a curious run on Ferrari’s part, as seemingly every week they’re the subject of chaos.

As abuse is no longer allowed when we speak about F1, I’m forced to say Ferrari’s strategists are brilliant.
