Lewis Hamilton Qualifies Second In Todays Hungarian GP Qualifier

Comfortable 2nd Place

In todays Qualifier round 3, Lewis Hamilton was on pace and pole in his first run and was looking like cementing down a pole position going into tomorrows Hungarian GP. Lewis put in a blistering 1m 19.978s in Q3.

This was slightly hindered by Vettels next run out on the track. To the dissappointment of all the Mc claren team he put in an outstanding time of 1m 19.815s to put him on pole for the Hungarian GP.

I was very happy with Lewis' performance and would have taken second place before todays qualifying session. So this leaves all us Lewis fans with an exciting race for tomorrow.

Vettel On Pole, But can he stay there?

Lewis Hamilton Happy With Todays Pace:

"It's great to see the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team with both cars on the front two rows - it's a sign that there's real pace here now. Everyone in the team is doing a fantastic job and we were genuinely competitive today.

"At one stage during Q3 I was up: I had half a tenth in reserve. But then I went a little bit wide, which triggered a big over-steer moment, and the result was that I lost that crucial bit of time. But the points aren't given out for today, and I'm feeling good about tomorrow.
"I'm very excited about the race, in fact, because we had quite a good long run yesterday and we'll work hard to build on that pace overnight and take it into tomorrow. We're in the fight – and, with a good start, we can definitely challenge for the win."
