Hamilton Heads For Hungary Win

After quick practice sessions, Lewis Hamilton transferred that into a qualification Pole for tomorrow's Hungary GP. Red Bull looked very much out of it until third practice, but it was Sebastian Vettel, not Mark Webber, who mustered third behind Romain Grosjean in the Lotus.

Jenson Button suffered from quite a bit of under-steer throughout the session and will start fourth ahead of the second Lotus, Kimi Raikkonen. The two Ferraris will line up side-by-side in sixth and seventh with Fernando Alonso, who will lead the standings going into the Summer break not matter what, ahead of Felipe Massa.

For the first time this season, Bruno Senna made it into Q3 meaning that both Williams cars will be in the top ten to start off with. Pastor Maldonado will start eighth with Senna ninth. Nico Hulkenberg rounds off the top ten with a good performance for Force India.

Despite topping the time sheets in practice three, Webber failed to get the working properly and could only manage 11th, meaning perhaps another frustrating race for the Australian tomorrow. Paul Di Resta will be alongside him in 12th. Mercedes had a poor qualifying also, Nico Rosberg could only get 13th with Michael Schumacher all the way down in 17th. Between the two Mercedes' are Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi in the Saubers with Jean-Eric Vergne in 16th in Toro Rosso.


Daniel Ricciardo was the one to fall from Q1 and will start 18th. Heikki Kovalainen once again out-performed his team-mate Vitaly Petrov as the pair sit 19th and 20th. Charles Pic will lead the Marussia charge in 21st with Timo Glock 22nd. Pedro De La Rosa yet again out-qualifies Narain Karthikeyan as the two HRTs bring up the rear.
