Looking at the sector and speed trap times tomorrow's race may have two faces on the podium that weren't there today. If there is a SC I'm sure we'll see a few guys go for a one stopper which should make things even more interesting.

Enough about the procession up front, the real race is between Red Bull, Williams and Alonso for 3rd place (maybe Kimi will make a cameo in this race as he loves Spa ;)). That I reckon will be more entertaining than the one for the win.

Bianchi once again the star in a reasonably priced (F1) car, and a shock exit for the Hulk in Q1!


Vettel being in third is interesting. One mark of a good driver is usually their ability in the wet, when it's even more about
feel for the car. He seems to shine in these circumstances, certainly helped by RBs aero, even though his poor car
adaptability this year would indicate he should actually be worse. Not sure about Kimi. He loves Hungary too, and after
a poor quali did better in the race but not exceptional. One thing we seem to be seeing this year is drivers not being
particularly special on what are supposedly to be 'their' tracks. Button's the same - he should love this track but
is only tenth.


Seb appears to have the edge over his teammate in these conditions, however the fact his teammate is a near rookie could have something to do with it, also danny Ricc frequently underperforms in quali and the race is his real strength. If he beats Seb tomorrow in the race then thats the final nail for Seb.
Button did well today - he came up with a brand new excuse 'my hands where cold and I couldnt feel the grip, thats why my rookie teammate deconstructed my arse in changeable weather conditions'
Kimi at his best is still nowhere near El Ponso, he appears to be on equal wage tho :scratchchin:

The whole session was hard to judge, especially with the changeable conditions. RB struggled in Q2 and relatively blitzed Q3, Alonso made a significant improvement,
Kimi didn't, the Williams and McLaren's went up and down. The fact that RB haven't gone fully downforce could be an early sign they're edging towards DR with their
car approach. And Merc after the break if anything have edged further ahead. I have a feeling Hamilton will edge this, maybe on racecraft with his better tyre and
fuel management on a thirsty track. Should be a fascinating race.

Glad I ddin't waste time watching qual, Hamilton with brake issues again.

But its great he gets to start on the front row again, bet Rosberg missed having a similar car start near him. :D

WHoa.....wet start? Set to be a thriller. A wet race battle between Nico and Lewis, sounds good.
