Luca remembered last season's Hungarian Grand Prix back in Formula 2. Then, the laps were 65, and the track length was 4.5 km, not 5.2. The expansion had done its thing, stretching the challenge.
And check the records, you'd see his name etched in history as the previous winner—for F2, though. For F1, the previous Hungarian Grand Prix winner was Hank Rice. Luca was told it was a dominant win from Hank Rice, his Ferrari was blazing two sectors ahead of Ailbeart, who settled for P2.
Just as everyone else was recalling the event last year, Luca also recalled the Saturday before. He had won his own Hungarian Grand Prix that evening, and he vividly remembered having a dominant finish too, thanks to Sync Buff, which played a huge role in his perfect win.
