:02:14. > :02:18.David Coulthard, great memories, but what is it about this circuit
:02:18. > :02:24.that demands so much from the drivers because they say it's a
:02:24. > :02:29.challenge? It's so physical, a lot of high G force corners and that's
:02:29. > :02:34.what drains the energy and of course warm conditions as well.
:02:34. > :02:38.Such a tight season. A few riders have won on the grid as well,
:02:38. > :02:42.unusual to have so many years of success? But we are in a golden
:02:42. > :02:46.year of Formula One. Schumacher was winning, Alonso took his first
:02:46. > :02:50.victory here in dominant style. Raikkonen in his McLaren days also.
:02:50. > :02:57.These are all good drivers soyou can see this is a place where the
:02:57. > :03:01.cream rises to the top? It does indeed. I never won here, but
:03:01. > :03:05.fantastic images there! We have had success around this racetrack. It's
:03:05. > :03:10.a huge challenge, physically, mentally and for everyone involved
:03:10. > :03:14.so exciting times ahead. Jenson Button's 200th race here, he won
:03:14. > :03:19.that. This race marks the half way point of the season and my goodness,
:03:19. > :03:22.we have clocked up some airmiles out on the track. So we use August
:03:22. > :03:26.to recharge our batteries before heading off for nine more races
:03:26. > :03:32.from September. One name you don't see on the list is Kimi Raikkonen.

:03:58. > :04:03.German Grand Prix so you might wonder what can happen in the space
:04:03. > :04:10.of six days? In Formula One, the answer is a lot. Here is Tom with
:04:10. > :04:15.the news. Red Bull's controversial engine
:04:16. > :04:21.maps are no more. The FIA think the team's gained an unfair advantage
:04:21. > :04:26.by exploiting a hole in the regular laces which is why they've issued
:04:26. > :04:34.collar if I can aces about curves, not that the team is worried by all
:04:34. > :04:39.the talk. The guys haven't spoken much about it so I think that seems
:04:39. > :04:43.pretty OK. We'll get on with it. If Red Bull lose momentum as a
:04:43. > :04:47.result of the engine mapping change, one man likely to benefit is World
:04:47. > :04:50.Championship leader Fernando Alonso. He leads the driver standings by 34
:04:50. > :04:53.points from Webber and Vettel and can't praise his Ferrari team
:04:53. > :04:57.enough at this half way point in the season.
:04:57. > :05:02.They work very well and very hard. And also, you know, we maximise
:05:02. > :05:06.always what we had in our hands. you were to take the car back now,
:05:06. > :05:12.how much faster do you think it would go? Between two and three
:05:12. > :05:16.seconds. We could improve the car. Ferrari achieved something, very
:05:16. > :05:18.impressive. Jenson Button's won here twice before. His second place
:05:18. > :05:25.in Germany was his first podium since the Chinese Grand Prix in
:05:26. > :05:33.April and he says he's now feeling much more confident in macularen's
:05:33. > :05:37.MP4 27. The car looks competitive with the Red Bulls and the Lotus.
:05:37. > :05:42.Next few races should be exciting for us. Lewis Hamilton met Muhammad
:05:42. > :05:47.Ali at the sports for peace gala in London on Wednesday. He was full of
:05:47. > :05:52.fighting talk when he arrived he Hungary when reminded of Vettel's
:05:52. > :05:56.comment that unlapping himself in Germany was a stupid thing to do.
:05:56. > :05:59.tried to remain respectful to all the drivers when I'm racing,
:05:59. > :06:06.regardless of what I might deep down feel inside about them. But
:06:06. > :06:09.obviously he doesn't feel that way so, you know, that's the way it is.
:06:09. > :06:12.We will hear from Vettel in a moment. If you were in the Lewis
:06:12. > :06:17.Hamilton situation there trying to make that one-stop strategy work,
:06:17. > :06:22.what would you have done, had a go at the leaders? Absolutely, that's
:06:22. > :06:26.perfectly within his lights and the regulations. I can understand why
:06:26. > :06:29.Sebastien's frustrated but rules are rules, get on with it. So Lewis
:06:29. > :06:36.did nothing wrong? Of course not. After that race, Alonso increased
:06:36. > :06:46.his lead in the driver's Championships, 34 points ahead of
:06:46. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:57.Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton is This time last year, Vettel was 77
:06:57. > :07:05.points ahead in the Championship, but this season, well, it's a very
:07:05. > :07:12.different story. The home race certainly didn't go to script.
:07:12. > :07:17.At the start, the lights went out. You could imagine things are going
:07:17. > :07:21.well. When you looked back when Jenson was in the pit stop, is that
:07:21. > :07:27.when things started to go wrong? Not really. We lost the position
:07:27. > :07:30.which was not so nice. I think he had a very fast stop the one before.
:07:30. > :07:34.COMMENTATOR: Fabulous stop. weren't putting ourselfs in the
:07:34. > :07:38.best position and therefore lost the place. COMMENTATOR: On the
:07:38. > :07:43.attack... Round the outside of Vettel. Things weren't looking that
:07:43. > :07:48.badly. Obviously the race was still on and a couple of laps to the end
:07:48. > :07:53.I was able to close the gap and able to go faster than Jenson. We
:07:53. > :07:56.were able to pass. COMMENTATOR: Vettel takes second place again
:07:56. > :08:00.from button. Did you realise immediately when you overtook
:08:00. > :08:05.Jenson that you had overtaken him off track, as it were? Obviously, I
:08:06. > :08:10.was aware of where I was going, but I wasn't, you know, intentionally
:08:10. > :08:13.leaving the circuit to pass him and yes, unfortunately then in the end
:08:13. > :08:16.we got the penalty but we have to accept it.
:08:16. > :08:19.Tell us about the incident with Lewis Hamilton? At the time, you
:08:19. > :08:22.looked annoyed that he was trying to unlap himself. Do you still
:08:22. > :08:25.think he was in the wrong to do that?
:08:25. > :08:31.Well, technically speaking he wasn't in the wrong so there's
:08:31. > :08:36.nothing that preevenious from doing that. But surely it did distract us
:08:36. > :08:40.and cost us some time, arguably the position for Jenson right at the
:08:40. > :08:44.stop. Honestly, I wasn't expecting him to pass because he was a lap
:08:44. > :08:51.down. If you want to do quick consecutive laps, find a better gap
:08:51. > :08:56.then yes, messing around with the leaders. I was surprised when into
:08:56. > :08:59.the hairpin he decided to outbreak... The headlines have been
:08:59. > :09:04.levelling criticism that you maybe don't handle losing very well?
:09:04. > :09:08.always depends how it gets said and gets written, but in a way, it's
:09:08. > :09:13.also a compliment because I'm not here for losing, I'm not here to
:09:13. > :09:16.finish second, you know. I'm not lying to you, we are not leading
:09:16. > :09:22.the Championship, we are behind. There are a lot of points between
:09:22. > :09:26.us and the leader, but plenty of time to catch up. We know that we
:09:26. > :09:34.have to perform every single race as good as we can, otherwise
:09:34. > :09:39.there's little chance to finish first.
:09:39. > :09:45.Is that a man under pressure? don't think so. It's not going as
:09:45. > :09:50.well as he would have liked. He accepts this is a big challenge,
:09:50. > :09:55.this is Formula One. This time last year, he had six victories and had
:09:55. > :10:00.only been off the podium once? was a remarkable run. As you can
:10:00. > :10:06.see, it's not going quite as smoothly this year, a lot of points
:10:06. > :10:11.to play for. Ferrari have just not dropped the ball anywhere, but
:10:11. > :10:18.maximised every opportunity with Alonso. How much extra pressure and
:10:18. > :10:21.skruet are you under as a young champion? He's the guy that's
:10:21. > :10:27.wanting to be unthereoned by everyone. If you imagine he didn't
:10:27. > :10:30.have the failure with the alternator in Valencia, we'd be
:10:30. > :10:37.having a different conversation. The double world champion's never
:10:37. > :10:41.won at this circuit but Red Bull were dealt a blow by the FIA who
:10:41. > :10:47.clarified the rules? controversy about talkers, Red Bull
:10:47. > :10:51.and Renault definitely runs on here. To explain it a little. This red
:10:51. > :10:55.line is a typical talk curve of a Formula One engine. It's lumpy and
:10:55. > :11:00.Formula One engine. It's lumpy and bumpy and what the driver wants is
:11:00. > :11:05.something smooth like this blue line which will smooth out the line.
:11:05. > :11:09.It's something like 10,000 RMM, then you get a smooth talk. If they
:11:09. > :11:13.were to put in a curve like the yellow dotted line here, that would
:11:13. > :11:16.contravene the regulations and be contravene the regulations and be
:11:16. > :11:21.seen to be too dramatic. The other controversial thing, in Canada, Red
:11:21. > :11:24.Bull had a hand adjustable right height device on the car. The
:11:24. > :11:28.regulations state you must yooz tools to change the mechanical set-
:11:28. > :11:34.up and that's been looked into this morning or been made apparent to
:11:34. > :11:44.everyone -- use. We'll find out if Red Bull can get
:11:44. > :11:56.
:11:56. > :11:59.their third consecutive pole conditions to those endured in
:11:59. > :12:04.qualifying. For the last two Grand Prixs for qualifying, 30 Celsius
:12:04. > :12:09.and sunshine here today, a track temperature of 44 Celsius. It will
:12:09. > :12:15.be demanding on the tyres. Webber was fastest in practise, but what
:12:15. > :12:20.lap time will we see the drivers do and what will get them into the top
:12:20. > :12:25.17. Gary, you have the numbers, what is your estimate? The track
:12:25. > :12:35.temperature's come up a little so it's difficult to predict. I think
:12:35. > :12:42.a 22 2 or a 22 3. You could be left in Q1. Talk us around the challenge
:12:42. > :12:46.of driving this circuit? Sector one is pretty much about stairgt
:12:46. > :12:51.hairpin right hander and then another straight, so the main bulk
:12:51. > :12:57.of the lap time and the differentiation between car, teams
:12:57. > :13:03.and driver. Growian starts his lap here. That middle section is
:13:03. > :13:06.relentless from when you go up the fast hill blind. He's made a
:13:06. > :13:10.mistake already! On to his fast lap. He just went in too fast. That
:13:10. > :13:14.shows the difference between when he finished the morning session,
:13:14. > :13:18.the practise session we had earlier today, he would have been on the
:13:18. > :13:23.yellow wall tyres, more grip available. Then the track
:13:23. > :13:27.temperature has climbed to where we are at 2 o'clock, the harder tyres
:13:27. > :13:32.offer less grip, try and spot his braking and he ran too wide. That
:13:32. > :13:42.will have cost him straightaway a minimum of a tenth leaving that
:13:42. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:52.with the brake balance on this lap and then his engineer's giving him
:13:52. > :13:56.the exact information. He's saying two clicks forward, two clicks
:13:56. > :14:02.forward. Growian coming out of the final
:14:02. > :14:06.term. Lets's see the lap time. Certainly not quick. He's backed it
:14:07. > :14:10.off and now he'll go on it, let's see what he can do. Hulkenberg on
:14:10. > :14:14.track in the Force India had a good qualifying performance last time
:14:14. > :14:17.out but four wheels over the white line, something to watch out for in
:14:17. > :14:21.qualifiering. If you gain an advantage when all four wheels are
:14:21. > :14:27.over the white line, you could easily lose that lap time and you
:14:27. > :14:33.could be in trouble. Not the ideal start. That was the ending of one
:14:33. > :14:38.lap, beginning of the other. Growian the only one to have set a
:14:38. > :14:43.time. -- Grosjean. This track is hardly used during the course of
:14:43. > :14:47.the year so it's super dusty. You can see the green artificial grass
:14:47. > :14:52.which holds the dust and we see then again running wide. That
:14:52. > :14:56.doesn't give him a problem as he goes into five. He's leaning the
:14:56. > :15:06.left side. When he comes to the chicane and does flick left and
:15:06. > :15:09.
:15:09. > :15:14.right, dusty tyres and you don't trying to get a good run on to the
:15:14. > :15:16.straight. Even if it is psychological, it
:15:16. > :15:20.affects the amount of grip that's on the surface of the tyre.
:15:20. > :15:25.Nico Hulkenberg is up on the times at the moment. Kimi Raikkonen is
:15:25. > :15:29.fastest at 1.23.22. Jean-Eric Vergne is second, but a long way
:15:29. > :15:35.off that. Kimi Raikkonen has done a representative time so far. Plenty
:15:35. > :15:42.of time in Q1. There is 15 minutes to go and Nico Hulkenberg comes out
:15:42. > :15:45.of the corner and goes second. So Kimi Raikkonen on top. Nico
:15:45. > :15:48.Hulkenberg second. We are waiting to see the other front-runners come
:15:48. > :15:52.out. Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton coming out on to the
:15:53. > :15:58.circuit. No sign yet of just a couple of cars. Most have come out
:15:59. > :16:06.and there is Felipe Massa. Massa going on to a lap. This is happened,
:16:06. > :16:08.it is a replay. It is like Grosjean, he went in too quick.
:16:08. > :16:16.The locked the rear axle. We're getting the replay with Nico
:16:16. > :16:20.Hulkenberg. Nice on the apex as he builds the speed, there is too much
:16:20. > :16:24.of the tyre on to the kerb and the rumbles take him out on to the
:16:24. > :16:29.artificial grass. A good lap from Kimi Raikkonen on
:16:29. > :16:37.the harder compound tyre. Lewis Hamilton is on a flyer. Hamilton
:16:37. > :16:40.has gone fastest in the first sector, but Kimi Raikkonen 1.22.6.
:16:40. > :16:45.Traffic to Michael and that's sending the message that he wants
:16:45. > :16:49.the team to get on to race control and if Michael has been deemed to
:16:49. > :16:54.have held Massa up at the end of his lap, then he will get a penalty.
:16:54. > :16:58.You see Hamilton trying to get a clear run. He has Grosjean ahead of
:16:58. > :17:01.him. He has Nico Hulkenberg coming up behind him and we are going to
:17:01. > :17:06.see a replay of Lewis Hamilton getting wide in turn four. Now
:17:06. > :17:10.that's the exit of turn four. Anyone who follow Formula One will
:17:10. > :17:20.know that's the corner that Felipe Massa had that big accident a
:17:20. > :17:23.
:17:23. > :17:29.couple of years back. TEAM RADIO: You have got one more
:17:29. > :17:33.lap. We are going to be hearing a lot of
:17:33. > :17:38.this talk, David, of people complaining about being blocked?
:17:38. > :17:42.This is like Monte Carlo, but more open. It is easy to lose time when
:17:42. > :17:46.you come up against the car in front. Michael has let Massa past
:17:46. > :17:52.and Michael is on another lap so it must have been at the point where
:17:52. > :17:56.Michael allowed him to overtake that Massa feels frustrated. Let's
:17:56. > :18:00.look at Vettel, he is building the lap and saving the tyres. You can
:18:00. > :18:04.see they are the white wall tyres. He is making sure he has plenty of
:18:04. > :18:09.space ahead. He has a straight of clean air presuming that no one
:18:09. > :18:14.comes out of the pit lane and here we go with Jenson Button hooking
:18:14. > :18:18.into the gully of the apex from. And it is 1.23.1 and Jenson Button
:18:18. > :18:22.is fourth fastest. He was complaining of understeer over the
:18:22. > :18:26.radio on that that lap, but the engineers are saying that can
:18:26. > :18:31.sometimes be the way to go. Keep going for it and he is fourth
:18:31. > :18:40.quickest at the moment. Felipe Massa, those in the drop zone,
:18:40. > :18:45.Vettel, Jean-Eric Vergne, Timo Glock and Vitaly Petrov. A big
:18:45. > :18:50.lock-up there from Massa. That will have compromised his entry line.
:18:50. > :18:56.What happens when you lock a front wheel, you turn in earlier to give
:18:56. > :18:59.his exit. He catches the inside gully so you can see the
:18:59. > :19:05.frustration coming out in the way Massa is driving to finish this lap.
:19:05. > :19:09.In fairness, the tyres are clearly not as new as they would, but a
:19:09. > :19:14.good solid lap time and that should be sufficient to take the pressure
:19:14. > :19:23.off now. Alonso is more experienced and faster team-mate down in 13th.
:19:23. > :19:28.Hamilton is on a fast lap and Maldonado is fast. Let's look to
:19:28. > :19:34.see what Sebastian Vettel is up to. Let's see where this boosts Vettel
:19:34. > :19:39.to? He is just ahead of Massa, but behind Hamilton, Senna, Raikkonen
:19:39. > :19:44.and Grosjean, the top four. It is all about getting into the top 17
:19:44. > :19:48.17. Mark Webber is fourth now. He is faster than Sebastian Vettel.
:19:48. > :19:53.Well, it is interesting for me to see the psychological battle within
:19:53. > :19:58.the teams. Mark has been looking racy in practise sessions relative
:19:58. > :20:02.to Seb, but it is about when it comes down to that one important
:20:02. > :20:07.lap in qualifying. Michael Schumacher is going through turn
:20:07. > :20:13.four. Is this where he was blocking Massa? This is where Massa will
:20:13. > :20:17.feel although Michael pulled over to the right-hand side of the track,
:20:17. > :20:20.well, it is difficult to say that Michael held him up there to be
:20:20. > :20:23.honest. It looks to me that Michael did everything he could. He didn't
:20:23. > :20:28.steal his air. He pulled over to the right-hand side.
:20:28. > :20:32.Hamilton, a couple of laps now, he set the fastest first sector. He
:20:33. > :20:38.went slower in the second two sectors. We are watching Hamilton's
:20:38. > :20:43.times. This is more like it. Very fast middle sector. He is on the
:20:43. > :20:47.harder compound tyre, the medium tyre, so it is not as if he
:20:47. > :20:53.suddenly put the softer tyre on. This will be impressive. He is
:20:53. > :21:00.quickest already. Let's see what the lap time is? 1.22.3. Let's see
:21:00. > :21:06.how fast he can be on this lap. Across the line 1.21.7. He is on
:21:06. > :21:11.the harder compound tyres. Jean- Eric Vergne on the softer tyres. He
:21:11. > :21:16.popped up to fourth. So several teams going out on the softer tyre.
:21:16. > :21:19.Fernando Alonso had to switch to the yellow walled softer tyre in
:21:19. > :21:25.order to make sure of getting into the top 17. It is Lewis Hamilton
:21:25. > :21:29.who is sitting pretty at the top on that 1.21.7 having done that on the
:21:29. > :21:35.harder compound tyre. It will give him more softer tyres to use in
:21:36. > :21:39.qualifying when the the real battle for pole position begins. Alonso is
:21:39. > :21:44.the next one under threat. Gary, you are seeing a lot of cars, I
:21:44. > :21:48.think going out on the softer tyre, aren't you? Almost everyone. Vettel
:21:48. > :21:51.and Webber left the pits on the soft tyre. This is where the
:21:51. > :21:54.skittles start falling down. You could stop it now, but
:21:54. > :21:58.unfortunately somebody wants to do better. They are using a new set of
:21:58. > :22:01.of soft tyres now and they will probably use that set if they get
:22:01. > :22:06.into the top 17. Fernando Alonso is going well here.
:22:06. > :22:10.He set the fastest middle sector. He has been beaten by Paul di Resta
:22:10. > :22:13.in the Force India. This is looking like these two are going to have a
:22:14. > :22:20.similar lap time. Alonso a tenth quicker on the first sector, but it
:22:20. > :22:26.is about this last sector now. He is second. 1.22.0. What about
:22:26. > :22:30.Paul di Resta? Let's see what the lap is like. He is second. We
:22:30. > :22:38.didn't really see that this morning, but they have got a car that
:22:38. > :22:42.dialled in well. Rosberg coming out of the final turn. He is third.
:22:42. > :22:47.1.22.0. Mercedes might have been struggling, but let's wait and see
:22:47. > :22:52.because the times will be close. Nico Hulkenberg goes fifth. Not as
:22:52. > :22:59.quick as Paul di Resta. Kobayashi in the danger zone at the moment.
:22:59. > :23:03.Most of the Caterhams and both HRTs are down there currently.
:23:03. > :23:09.Schumacher crashed down here in free practise in the wet. He went
:23:09. > :23:11.into the tyre barrier, effectively aqua plaind on the intermediate
:23:11. > :23:19.tyres. He is going wide there.
:23:19. > :23:25.He is trying to get into the top 17, This car very much on the nose.
:23:25. > :23:29.Let's see what the time is like as he comes across the line. Seventh
:23:29. > :23:34.for Michael Schumacher. He is being pushed down the order. Not as quick
:23:34. > :23:38.as Rosberg. A bit of under steer from Maldonado in the Williams.
:23:38. > :23:41.Let's see what he can do as he tries to get into Q3. Ninth
:23:41. > :23:47.position for him and Jenson Button on a lap at the moment as well. And
:23:47. > :23:51.he is going pretty quickly at this stage. He is on the soft tyre, a
:23:51. > :23:55.bit of a lock up there, that will cost him valuable time.
:23:56. > :24:00.He ran too deep into the corner and as he got off the brakes the front
:24:00. > :24:05.bites and he got oversteer. Let's see where it puts him. He is third.
:24:05. > :24:10.He should be safe with that. Here comes Massa. Well, he is seven
:24:10. > :24:14.seventh. And here comes Sergio Perez in the Sauber. He goes sixth
:24:14. > :24:20.quickest. He is faster than Massa and faster than Nico Hulkenberg as
:24:20. > :24:24.well. Another look at Jenson on that lap. That's the mistake we saw.
:24:24. > :24:28.He carried too much speed on entry phase. He locked up that inside
:24:28. > :24:32.wheel which is a characteristic we seep often from the McLaren, but
:24:32. > :24:36.once you release the brake you brought the speed down and you
:24:36. > :24:40.reengage that inside tyre and it picks up grip on the front axle and
:24:40. > :24:44.wants to make the car rotate. Kobayashi, he slowed down, is he
:24:44. > :24:48.going to get around in time to pick up the lap? I think he will. 30
:24:48. > :24:56.seconds to go. Kobayashi in the drop zone, but he is in a group of
:24:56. > :24:59.cars here. TEAM RADIO: You are plus five,
:24:59. > :25:06.Heikki. And Kobayashi gets across the line
:25:06. > :25:12.with 18 seconds left to try and get into the second part of qualifying.
:25:12. > :25:16.He is 18th at the moment. Ricciardo is in the pits. It looks as if
:25:16. > :25:20.Jean-Eric Vergne is going to make it through through this time.
:25:21. > :25:25.I love these moments in qualifying. This is the equivalent of going all
:25:25. > :25:28.in in poker. It is this lap or not at all for Kobayashi. He will know
:25:28. > :25:31.that and the team will know that. Let's hope we watch him around this
:25:31. > :25:35.lap. He is up on the first sector.
:25:35. > :25:38.That's compared with 17th place. Not compared with the fastest time
:25:38. > :25:42.of Hamilton. Kobayashi comes off his best ever Formula One result
:25:42. > :25:47.last weekend in Germany after Vettel's demotion to fifth place,
:25:47. > :25:52.Kobayashi got a fourth out of it. The best result for a Japanese
:25:52. > :25:56.driver in eight years. Now let's see whether he can get into the
:25:56. > :26:00.part of qualifying. A week is a long time in Formula One. You get a
:26:00. > :26:04.great result one week and you are struggling to make it through. It
:26:04. > :26:08.is promising, he is up on Four tenths of a second. His team-mate
:26:08. > :26:12.is up in sixth place. Daniel Ricciardo is the man that is
:26:12. > :26:16.going to be popped into the drop zone if he completes this lap
:26:16. > :26:21.successfully. Nice and tidy on entry, drops a further gear to get
:26:21. > :26:26.the drive off that last corner and releases any any KERS.
:26:26. > :26:32.He is there and he is 15th and safe and it pushed Daniel Ricciardo out
:26:33. > :26:40.and Jean-Eric Vergne has outqualified his team-mate by a
:26:41. > :26:47.margin. It is only the second time Jean-Eric Vergne made it through to
:26:47. > :26:51.It is the only second time that Jean-Eric Vergne outqualified the
:26:51. > :26:56.Aussie. He got the lap well and ended up with the 15th fastest time
:26:56. > :27:06.and he is through to the next part. So the drivers we have lost are
:27:06. > :27:15.
:27:15. > :27:19.Daniel Ricciardo, Heikki Kovalainen, and Vitaly Petrov, and and and De
:27:19. > :27:29.La Rosa. The Caterhams not able to get into
:27:29. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:36.Heikki, Hungary has good memories for you. This is where you won your
:27:36. > :27:41.first Grand Prix. This is your 100th start this weekend. How are
:27:41. > :27:45.you feeling? I feel good, of course, it is always nice to come back to a
:27:45. > :27:48.circuit where you have won a Grand Prix, but it is a shame it is the
:27:48. > :27:54.only one, there should be many more, but hopefully in the future. A lot
:27:54. > :27:57.of things turning up. There is a lot of Finnish fans and it seems to
:27:57. > :28:02.be more Kimi's flags than my flags. I need to put up a fight.
:28:02. > :28:05.Will you put up a fight tomorrow? How did you feel about qualifying?
:28:05. > :28:10.We knew from Friday that we were not going to have a performance to
:28:10. > :28:12.fight with the cars ahead of us, but we have been working with a new
:28:12. > :28:16.package and we have been getting more and more out of it all the
:28:16. > :28:19.time. The balance was good and I nailed a good lap. There is no
:28:19. > :28:29.mistake and we can be happy about that and we have got to keep
:28:29. > :28:34.chipping away. getting underway in Hungary and
:28:35. > :28:38.after everyone drawing breath after that first session which was
:28:38. > :28:41.exciting, Hamilton looking confident. Button less so. He had
:28:41. > :28:45.to switch to the softer tyre. The only three drivers who didn't use
:28:45. > :28:48.the softer tyre, Lewis Hamilton himself going fastest and the two
:28:48. > :28:52.Lotuses of Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, everyone else had
:28:52. > :28:56.to use one set of their softer tyres and of course, they are
:28:56. > :28:59.limited to three sets of each David, so it compromises how you have to
:28:59. > :29:04.run the next part of qualifying? Yes, as you say, it leaves you in
:29:04. > :29:08.an ideal world you get through this next part of qualifying on just one
:29:09. > :29:14.set of your your option tyres leaving you one fresh set for the
:29:14. > :29:18.shootout in the top ten and people like Red Bull will expect to be in
:29:18. > :29:23.that top ten. Torro Rosso, probably not, but Michael Schumacher going
:29:24. > :29:32.out earlier on a set of the options. Gary, we have seen the times from
:29:32. > :29:34.Q1, what can we expect for them to get into the top ten? As you say,
:29:34. > :29:39.Grosjean, Raikkonen, they didn't use the softer tyres. I think you
:29:39. > :29:44.are going to have to nip to the 2 ss before you -- 2 ss before you
:29:44. > :29:46.will be comfortably in there. Let's watch Michael. He is on the
:29:46. > :29:50.softer tyre and let's see what he can do.
:29:50. > :29:54.We see the drop down into turn two and it is a long corner. Small
:29:54. > :29:58.corrections for oversteer and pulled the car back across the left.
:29:58. > :30:01.Flat out through turn three, you have the benefit of having space in
:30:01. > :30:11.the artificial grass. It is blind on entry, you commit to the turn in.
:30:11. > :30:12.
:30:12. > :30:15.He runs wider than you would have has backed out of this lap. He
:30:15. > :30:20.realises I am going to save the tyres. I haven't done enough on
:30:20. > :30:26.that first sector to warrant finishing the lap. He has plenty of
:30:26. > :30:36.clear air. The next man behind him on the track is Rosberg. Michael is
:30:36. > :30:38.
:30:38. > :30:42.perhaps. We see it from the outside of the circuit. Turns in, misses
:30:42. > :30:46.the apex slightly and there's enough. You can see the angle of
:30:46. > :30:51.attack on the front right tyre, he's got under as he goes over the
:30:51. > :30:56.rise, pushes out wide on o to the artificial grass. As a consequence,
:30:56. > :31:00.when he turns into five, he misses the apex. Schumacher, another
:31:00. > :31:04.mistake, but it's those that matter. Massa is fastest out there at the
:31:04. > :31:09.moment. Michael's crossed the lain on that slow lap and has just
:31:09. > :31:13.backed off. Massa hasn't backed off and is into the penultimate corner
:31:13. > :31:20.exthe final right hander coming up. Long, sweeping right hander.
:31:20. > :31:23.Working all the way through the turn and the tyre's working hard
:31:23. > :31:27.too. Let's see that time. That could be
:31:27. > :31:30.enough according to Gary's calculations. A good lap by Massa
:31:30. > :31:34.there. This track saw him nearly take
:31:34. > :31:38.victory back in 2008. What a difference it would have made to
:31:38. > :31:43.him if his engine hadn't blown up with three laps to go in that
:31:43. > :31:48.famous battle he had. Hulkenberg though faster than Massa.
:31:48. > :31:53.Confirming that the force Indians have the edge. Half of the circuit
:31:53. > :31:57.is now in shadow behind clouds and half of the track, that you can see
:31:57. > :32:02.on the other side, is in the sun light. That does make a difference.
:32:03. > :32:06.If you can go out under a shadow, under a cloud, it gives you that
:32:06. > :32:11.little bit more per for chance, the air temperature cools quickly and
:32:11. > :32:16.the engine breathes, the tyres is much more grip. It's either the sun
:32:16. > :32:21.light at the top of the circuit and then into the shadow that does that,
:32:21. > :32:26.they'll hope the shadow will come over the circuit and the lap times
:32:26. > :32:35.will drop. Button's just gone fastest. Button faster than
:32:35. > :32:39.Hulkenberg and Massa. Di Resta. Schumacher sixth. Rosberg crosses
:32:39. > :32:46.the lain and goes fifth fastest. That's slightly faster than
:32:46. > :32:50.Schumacher, in fact three tenths faster. Schumacher. Vettel on the
:32:50. > :32:56.Red Bull. A difficult week for Sebastien, but he's up on the split
:32:56. > :33:00.time. Down into turn 12 now, just the last two long corners. It's so
:33:00. > :33:06.easy to make a mistake. Runs it in smoothly. Goes for a deep entry but
:33:06. > :33:10.all under control there from Vettel. The target time of Jenson Button to
:33:10. > :33:15.beat, 121.8. This is to try to get to the top ten, the final part of
:33:15. > :33:20.qualifying. Fourth quickest for the moment. Growian crosss the line
:33:20. > :33:30.quickest. A fraction faster than Button, but Raikkonen's on a good
:33:30. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :33:39.lap as well. Alonso trying to get himself back up the list further.
:33:39. > :33:43.Massa managed to improve his time. Alonso not really getting
:33:43. > :33:47.comfortable so far in this session. Let's see what Webber can do as he
:33:47. > :33:51.keeps it tight around the last corner.
:33:52. > :34:00.Hasn't set a lap time yet. This is first time and sixth. Pulled out of
:34:00. > :34:06.danger drop zone. Let's see what cake men does. He goes fastest. Two
:34:06. > :34:11.tenths faster than Grojean. It's Lotus 1-2. It's all about getting
:34:12. > :34:18.into the top ten. Gary, what are you seeing? They were on the new
:34:18. > :34:22.soft tyre because they didn't run the new tyre in the early session.
:34:22. > :34:30.Massa was questionable. There's three or four tenths in there for
:34:30. > :34:35.when they try the new set. Webb esh using a lot of track there --
:34:35. > :34:39.Webber. The Red Bulls were faster this morning, able to do 21 fives
:34:39. > :34:43.and seem to be struggling to break into the 21s right now. There is a
:34:43. > :34:47.bit of track evolution. If you look at rake none, he's been able to
:34:47. > :34:50.improve his time from the morning session. The fastest of all with
:34:50. > :34:54.Webber on 21 fives. The track is there or thereabouts, so
:34:54. > :34:59.something's change sod far for the Red Bulls, maybe they're just
:34:59. > :35:06.holding back a bit, but looks like they've lost pace. We'll get gari's
:35:06. > :35:10.comment on that. -- Gary's comment on that. Senna is there. Maldonado
:35:10. > :35:14.is 169 but on a better lap riding with Webber. Let's see if this
:35:14. > :35:19.answers your question, David. Webber, yes, that's better. So they
:35:20. > :35:24.do have some pace like they showed this morning. Webber was quickest
:35:24. > :35:29.this morning, now has gone second fastest. Hamilton's on a good lap.
:35:29. > :35:36.Hamilton very fast in the last sector. Very fast in the second.
:35:36. > :35:42.Look at the margin! That's over tenth place. Some traffic ahead.
:35:42. > :35:46.Perez and Sauber. Perez comes in. That's OK. Lewis has a clean run
:35:46. > :35:50.and we could have a if you fastest time. Raikkonen's the target time
:35:50. > :35:54.to beat. Hamilton goes faster by half a second, a massive margin
:35:54. > :35:57.there but Lewis Hamilton. He is so fast here on this track. A couple
:35:58. > :36:01.of pole positions he's had in the last couple of wins as well. Could
:36:01. > :36:06.have been more victories but he's had a bit of bad luck too. This is
:36:06. > :36:11.only the second part of qualifying so still a lot of action 20 today
:36:11. > :36:17.go, but you can almost imagine Lewis Hamilton in the car saying,
:36:17. > :36:22.take that.. Vergne on to a lap here as he tries to get Toro Rosso town
:36:22. > :36:32.the top ten that.'s something he's never achieved yet. Team Radio:
:36:32. > :36:32.
:36:32. > :36:37.Great lap. Fastest in every sector. Got held up there.
:36:37. > :36:42.We did see that, but it didn't seem to cause too much problem, did it?
:36:42. > :36:46.No, but it's always good to let the team know you think it's a bit more,
:36:46. > :36:53.even if it's only psychological. If you believe you have more to give,
:36:53. > :36:59.that's a great thing. If you look at lap times and think,
:36:59. > :37:09.I don't think I can do that, that's not good. Maybe he's looking at
:37:09. > :37:13.other lap times. Vergne still on a quick lap here. It's unlikely we'll
:37:13. > :37:18.see Rosso into the top ten given the level of competition but it's
:37:18. > :37:22.giving it a go and he's been on pole here in other forms in motor
:37:22. > :37:32.sport. Team Radio: Getting ready to go
:37:32. > :37:33.
:37:33. > :37:37.again. Mark, it's pretty tight. We'll run again. Interesting to
:37:37. > :37:40.hear. They don't feel confident. Vergne goes eighth with that.
:37:40. > :37:46.Valiant effort but I don't think it will be enough to get him into the
:37:46. > :37:50.top ten. We are into the final five minutes now of Q2. On board, with
:37:50. > :37:54.Massa, got a bit of traffic into turn one. Michael again. They keep
:37:54. > :37:57.meeting each other out on track. That's clumsy of Mercedes, they
:37:57. > :38:05.know where the other cars are on track, you cannot afford to hold up
:38:05. > :38:09.a car that's on a time lap because you have to be absolutely sure that
:38:09. > :38:13.you don't get a penalty. Let's see how this unfolds for Massa. Webber
:38:13. > :38:17.leaves his garage now. That leaves him with no fresh options for the
:38:17. > :38:23.last part of qualifying, presuming they get through. So this is Red
:38:23. > :38:28.Bull on the back foot a little here. The man obviously in the seat right
:38:28. > :38:33.now is Hamilton. He's used one set of primes and options so far in
:38:33. > :38:42.this part of the qualifying we have had. So looking incredibly strong
:38:42. > :38:46.ahead of going into the last qual of qualifying. Presumably you are
:38:47. > :38:52.sighing the same? Did two laps in Q1. Called him into the box because
:38:52. > :38:56.he didn't have to do the final lap. I think he's gone out now on his
:38:56. > :39:00.first brand-new set along with Vettel as well. Let's see what this
:39:00. > :39:05.lap is like for Massa. The Brazilian who outqualified Alonso
:39:05. > :39:11.here last year. He crosses the line. A good lap again from Massa. Looks
:39:11. > :39:15.to be in good shape. Alonso, his Thame mate, currently only tenth.
:39:15. > :39:20.He needs this lap to count very much and you can see that he's
:39:20. > :39:25.attacking the borders of the track just running a wheel over the edge.
:39:25. > :39:29.Got to watch the kerbs though. Look how early he was on the five. He
:39:29. > :39:32.touched the apex and he's immediately opening that and saying
:39:33. > :39:39.to the car, I'm ready to go, are you.
:39:39. > :39:44.Really aggressive and giving it everything. He's been on pole a
:39:44. > :39:48.couple of times. He's just gone fastest in the middle sector, so
:39:48. > :39:55.not necessarily the fastest lap overall but should be very much in
:39:55. > :40:00.safe territory. Nice line there through turn 13, into 14. Listen.
:40:00. > :40:05.Getting on the power. Let's watch him across the line. Third. That
:40:05. > :40:13.should be plenty. The two Ferraris virtually identical lap times but
:40:13. > :40:17.Massa a fraction faster than Alonso. Rosberg crosses the lain and goes
:40:17. > :40:21.eighth. Massa have any negative thoughts year on year about this
:40:21. > :40:28.track, that almost cost him his life, but you have got to say, it
:40:28. > :40:33.doesn't show. A great performance. Anything that can beat an Alonso
:40:33. > :40:37.lap time is an impressive time in my book. He's got to be brimming
:40:37. > :40:47.with confidence, got to do it one more time though in Q3. The drop
:40:47. > :40:47.
:40:47. > :40:51.zone at the moment, we have Perez, Senna, di Resta, Vergne. We have
:40:51. > :40:55.got Schumacher and Maldonado. Top names in that drop zone currently.
:40:55. > :41:01.It will be tough. Let's see where Kobayashi goes. Crosss the line,
:41:01. > :41:06.he's only 13th. Doesn't look as though he'll be safe and di Resta
:41:06. > :41:12.crosss the line. Button jumps up a bit into fifth. Di Resta is out of
:41:12. > :41:20.the top ten. Vettel is tenth. He pops up to second.
:41:20. > :41:24.Good luck. Webber crosses the line. Seventh. A little bit more marginal
:41:24. > :41:28.for him. Webber down many the last sector. Managed to improve in the
:41:28. > :41:33.first two sectors. Must have made a mistake or something else cost him
:41:33. > :41:40.some time. Senna deciding to short shift out of the second last corner.
:41:40. > :41:44.Was a little wide and you hear the difference on the applications, so
:41:44. > :41:49.gentle. Relative to Alonso when you said he was feathering the throttle,
:41:49. > :41:56.sounded more like he was punching it in the ribs. Perez has done
:41:56. > :42:03.exactly the same time as Rosberg, but Rosberg is in the top ten and
:42:03. > :42:09.Perez isn't. Maldonado, we have seen him get a pole. He inherited
:42:09. > :42:14.it but has qualified extremely well. Can he get into Q3? Third fastest.
:42:14. > :42:18.That pushes Senna to ninth. Raikkonen is fifth fastest, Michael
:42:18. > :42:23.Schumacher still trying to get a lap in on this at all. He's way out
:42:23. > :42:27.of it at the moment. Di Resta crosses the line, only 11th for di
:42:27. > :42:31.Resta and that could be his last chance to get into the top ten.
:42:31. > :42:36.Hulkenberg's not in the top ten either. Hulkenberg is fastest of
:42:36. > :42:41.all in the middle sector, the sector that I say is the real
:42:41. > :42:47.display of down force and draifr commitment. So this is looking like
:42:47. > :42:52.a great lap from Hulkenberg -- driver committ. Hulkenberg puts a
:42:52. > :42:58.great lap in and it pushes Senna back out of the top ten. Now, Senna
:42:58. > :43:04.is still on a lap here. His first sector wasn't anything particularly
:43:04. > :43:09.spectacular. Can he get back in? I don't think he can. Webber's been
:43:09. > :43:14.pushed out. He's tenth. He can get back in. Webber is out of the top
:43:14. > :43:19.ten. Big drama. Michael's backed out of it. He's 17th and not
:43:19. > :43:22.completing this lap. He's out of the top ten as well. Some big
:43:22. > :43:27.scalps have fallen here in Q2. Webber pushed out in the last
:43:27. > :43:33.moment and both Williams for the first time this year in Q3. Ooh,
:43:33. > :43:36.did he go all four wheels over? Did he gain an advantage? Got to ask
:43:36. > :43:42.the question. Michael had to drive through the dust which didn't help
:43:42. > :43:47.a lot. That was on the exit of the chicane. Was that just what
:43:47. > :43:51.unsettled Michael? Mark Webber 11th and out of the rest of qualifying.
:43:51. > :43:56.The margin that Hamilton had though, four tenths of a second around this
:43:57. > :44:02.2.7 mile track. That is huge. Absolutely massive margin for Lewis
:44:02. > :44:06.Hamilton. Stkpwhrfrpblgts Rosberg is not in the top ten, nor is
:44:06. > :44:12.Michael Schumacher and we wondered, and you said you thought that they
:44:12. > :44:18.might be struggling a little bit. That has been confirmed because
:44:18. > :44:25.Rosberg is 13th, Schumacher though only 17th on the grid. The drivers
:44:25. > :44:30.we've lost are Webber, di Resta, Rosberg, Perez, Kobayashi, Vergne
:44:30. > :44:35.and Schumacher. Q2, how do you feel about it?
:44:35. > :44:40.difficult. The car was working quite well in Q1 but we compromised
:44:40. > :44:46.oirsts with a butt of track position on the out-lap and didn't
:44:46. > :44:51.get the tyres. -- compromised ourselves. It affected the last
:44:51. > :44:56.sector quite badly but we are in a reasonable position given that
:44:56. > :45:01.everybody will have to start on a new set of options. Keck make the
:45:01. > :45:03.decision overnight based on how warm the temperatures are. We can
:45:03. > :45:08.optimise ourselves hopefully better. It wouldn't be Formula One without
:45:08. > :45:11.a bit of rain, which there is talk of rain tomorrow? Yes, the more
:45:11. > :45:15.forecasts that are coming it looks later but it can change any time.
:45:15. > :45:25.It's that hot that I'm sure the thunder storms can swing up. We'll
:45:25. > :45:37.
:45:37. > :45:44.play it by ear and try and maximise going to prevent Red Bull doing the
:45:44. > :45:47.same here because he is he is looking so fast. But remember
:45:47. > :45:52.Sebastian Vettel is looking for a hat trick of poles this. Is the
:45:52. > :45:55.shootout for pole position and we have got cars going out on to the
:45:55. > :46:00.track immediately. Nico Hulkenberg is going out. Hamilton, Jenson
:46:00. > :46:03.Button, out on circuit straightaway. Gary, the question is what teams
:46:03. > :46:07.have a brand-new set of tyres available to them? A lot of of
:46:07. > :46:12.teams had to use their soft tyres to get here?
:46:12. > :46:21.Yeah, well, looking at the two McLarens. The mac Clarence look as
:46:21. > :46:28.if they are a used set. Lewis Hamilton should have a new set left.
:46:28. > :46:31.the race. I don't think this is too bad a race tyre. They run
:46:31. > :46:34.consistently. So they can put laps on this tyre
:46:34. > :46:43.without damaging it too much despite track temperatures of 45
:46:43. > :46:46.Celsius. Pirelli being more conservative with their tyre choice.
:46:46. > :46:51.Because of the changeable weather conditions last year, we had rain
:46:51. > :46:55.at the beginning of the race, they felt, "Let's not take the risk of
:46:55. > :46:58.such an extreme tyre." We come this year, we had rain yesterday in the
:46:58. > :47:02.afternoon, but today, scorching temperatures. The track temperature
:47:02. > :47:06.45 Celsius and air temperature 30 Celsius.
:47:06. > :47:11.Bruno Senna in Q3 for the first time this year. He has the other
:47:11. > :47:15.Williams in there too. Last year, this was the circuit that he did
:47:15. > :47:19.free practise for a top team for the first time because it was when
:47:19. > :47:25.he went to Renault. He did free practise here and he was in the
:47:25. > :47:29.race seat beyond that and he seems to be putting that practise to good
:47:29. > :47:34.use. Lewis Hamilton here. Let's see if he gets the braking right into
:47:35. > :47:39.turn one? Well, the answer is no. Oversteer. You try and use the
:47:39. > :47:43.engine braking as much as possible to to supplement the brake that you
:47:43. > :47:47.get from the retardation from the brakes and in that case it might
:47:47. > :47:51.not have cost him too much time because he corrected, cat-like
:47:51. > :48:01.reactions and he was getting good drive off the turn. Let's look at
:48:01. > :48:02.
:48:02. > :48:08.his opening sector, 29.0. A bit of understeer through five. Yes, it is
:48:09. > :48:12.good, but not the fastest. We have seen them in the 28s. Oh no, he has
:48:12. > :48:17.gone off. He runs wide and gets back on again.
:48:17. > :48:22.He bailed out of the lap. This won't be his best effort. He will
:48:22. > :48:28.save the rest of the tyres on the rest of this lap. He has plenty of
:48:28. > :48:31.clear track ahead. We go on board with Jenson Button. This is down
:48:31. > :48:36.through turn 11. Running off line to allow a Lotus by which is never
:48:37. > :48:41.a good thing to take your car. As we go on board. This is out of the
:48:41. > :48:46.chicane. This is where we saw Maldonado run wide. He through it
:48:46. > :48:50.in and the rear just wasn't there for him. He picked up dust on the
:48:50. > :48:53.way out of the chicane and we can see that from the outside, of
:48:53. > :48:58.course, he doesn't see that when he is in the car and commits to the
:48:58. > :49:03.corner and that's what happens when you get get sand that sits in the
:49:03. > :49:09.run-off area. That chicane caught him out last
:49:09. > :49:17.year. He had a spin. Raikkonen went deep into the lap
:49:17. > :49:22.there down into turn 12. He was quickest in the middle part of the
:49:22. > :49:25.sector. This will be a scrappy end, but this should take him fastest in
:49:25. > :49:31.this part of the session and indeed, it does.
:49:31. > :49:36.1.22.7, but we have seen times in the 1.21, so we will see a lot
:49:36. > :49:39.faster than that before the the session is over. It is the shortest
:49:39. > :49:45.session as well. The time ticks away. Maldonado straight in.
:49:45. > :49:49.Hamilton has set a new fastest first sector as we look at Ferrari,
:49:49. > :49:54.there is not a lot happening and they have less tyres available and
:49:54. > :49:58.they may do just the one run. I think they will. Massa
:49:58. > :50:03.outqualified Alonso here last here. Is this a bogey track for Alonso?
:50:03. > :50:08.He did take his first win here with Renault, but there is clearly
:50:08. > :50:11.something that didn't really ignite his fire last year for Ferrari and
:50:11. > :50:18.it looks like they are struggling. It doesn't look like they are in
:50:18. > :50:23.the battle for pole position. Hamilton 21.2. A brilliant lap for
:50:23. > :50:29.Lewis Hamilton. Let's see what Jenson Button does. Only third. Not
:50:29. > :50:32.such a quick lap there from Jenson Button. He needs to be in the 1.21s,
:50:32. > :50:37.he won't be satisfied with that. Ferrari, are they sending their
:50:37. > :50:40.cars out or are they going to sit there and wait and perhaps, I mean
:50:40. > :50:43.we have seen some teams this year just not bothering to go out at all
:50:43. > :50:47.in the final part of qualifying. Well, saving tyres fort race, if
:50:47. > :50:51.you don't feel you have got a chance of going for the pole then
:50:51. > :51:00.save the tyres and track position as we have seen this year, the
:51:00. > :51:04.majority of victories come from the front row. Bizarrely, three of the
:51:04. > :51:07.last four victories have come from the dirty side of the track. We see
:51:08. > :51:14.Sebastian Vettel warming up his tyres, building his lap, he has
:51:14. > :51:19.Jenson Button just ahead of him who will more than likely be on an
:51:19. > :51:23.inlap. Although Hamilton sits comfortably now, he will feel there
:51:23. > :51:29.is more time there. Gary, what are your thoughts? Are
:51:29. > :51:34.Ferrari going to get one run in? think they are putting all their
:51:34. > :51:40.eggs in one basket. Do a run at the end when there is less cars. They
:51:40. > :51:46.will go out as late as possible and minimum cars on the track.
:51:46. > :51:51.Sebastian Vettel then, pole sitter for the last two years. Last year
:51:51. > :51:55.he got into the 1.19s and the year before he was in the 1.18s, I don't
:51:56. > :52:01.think we will see a lap time that fast this year. Sebastian Vettel
:52:01. > :52:07.Goes on to the lap. Let's see if he can be neat and tidy into turn one?
:52:07. > :52:16.A bit of oversteer and misses the apex and because it is open, that
:52:16. > :52:18.might not cost him him too much turn two wider than he would like
:52:18. > :52:27.and then flat out through three and up to this very tricky turn four.
:52:27. > :52:33.TEAM RADIO: We need to get the first time lap. Maldonado doing
:52:33. > :52:38.sent on his way. We're watching Sebastian Vettel here as he attacks
:52:38. > :52:44.the circuit. Past the stands and baking in the sunshine in Hungary.
:52:44. > :52:52.Not running wide and like Hamilton did a few laps ago. The car putting
:52:52. > :52:57.the power down well here. A quick quick right-hander here. He is up
:52:57. > :53:05.on the lap time. A great middle sector from Sebastian Vettel. Down
:53:05. > :53:12.into turn 13 now. Ferraris are heading out on to the circuit and
:53:12. > :53:15.now watch him into the last one. Picking up the power and out of the
:53:15. > :53:18.final turn, running wide. Sebastian Vettel goes second. It is not
:53:18. > :53:22.enough to beat the time that Hamilton has done. Remember this
:53:22. > :53:25.year, we have seen Hamilton do an early lap, often in qualifying and
:53:25. > :53:29.he did that in the first part of the year when he took two pole
:53:30. > :53:34.positions. Has he done it again? Has he set a target that nobody can
:53:34. > :53:39.beat? He is out again and this is a view on board with Senna. Let's
:53:39. > :53:45.what happened. A big lock-up. one, maybe trying to preserve the
:53:45. > :53:49.tyres, the down side is you go slowly, you don't get heat in your
:53:49. > :53:55.brakes and the long straight, the longest part of the flat out
:53:55. > :54:01.section on this racetrack and locks up. The Williams Renault took their
:54:01. > :54:06.first ever pole position in 1989. Renault and Williams back together
:54:06. > :54:16.this year and Maldonado has taken that one pole and he had the one
:54:16. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:27.victory. The cars are getting out of his way here.
:54:27. > :54:31.He is asking the team to tell him when cars are coming up behind.
:54:31. > :54:34.The McLaren and the Red Bull get out of the way. Maldonado coming to
:54:34. > :54:38.the end of the lap. Yes, wide there. I don't think this
:54:38. > :54:42.is going to challenge Hamilton's time. Hamilton is still fastest.
:54:42. > :54:46.Sebastian Vettel second. Grosjean third. Raikkonen is fourth. Senna
:54:46. > :54:52.is sixth. Let's see where Maldonado is going to be? He goes fourth. A
:54:52. > :54:55.good lap. Maldonado splits Grosjean and Button. He pushes Button back
:54:55. > :55:01.down to fifth. We have seen a couple of front rows with the both
:55:01. > :55:05.of them. Here is is Nico Hulkenberg for Force India. They haven't got a
:55:05. > :55:09.great record in Hungary, Force India and he is wide.
:55:09. > :55:13.This Is a scrappy middle sector. This is where he was fastest in the
:55:13. > :55:16.previous session and he is two or three tenths down on that. This is
:55:17. > :55:20.not going as well the second session.
:55:20. > :55:26.Let's see, mainly these tyres have done a lap. We are not sure if he
:55:26. > :55:31.went out on a new set. Crossing the line, he is seventh. Well if he
:55:31. > :55:35.stays seventh, that would be Force India's best here. It is all over
:55:35. > :55:39.for Sebastian Vettel. He is second. It is looking good unless we see a
:55:39. > :55:45.surprise performance. Alonso is on track. Alonso is trying to move the
:55:45. > :55:48.fer ar rary -- Ferrari further up in the top ten. Massa on a lap
:55:48. > :55:52.currently. Out of the final turn, where is the championship leader
:55:52. > :56:00.going to go? He crosses the line. He is fourth. He pushes Maldonado
:56:00. > :56:06.down. Here comes Massa, can Massa outqualify his team-mate? He
:56:06. > :56:08.crosses the line and he is fifth. The two Ferraris are fourth and
:56:08. > :56:12.fifth. Jenson Button is going to try and improve on all of them.
:56:12. > :56:17.Let's see whether this is enough and Grosjean is on a good lap as
:56:18. > :56:20.well. He crosses the line. He is Sebastian Vettel second and Jenson
:56:20. > :56:26.Button third and there is Lewis Hamilton. He is going to see if he
:56:26. > :56:31.can put it out of reach. He is even faster. Hamilton on pole with a
:56:31. > :56:35.1.20.9. Here comes Romain Grosjean, this could be faster. He is second
:56:35. > :56:40.quickest. If he stay there is, it will be his best ever grid position
:56:40. > :56:45.and Lotus will be celebrating a front row start, but Kimi Raikkonen
:56:45. > :56:51.has not quite done enough. Everybody is completed. It is the
:56:51. > :56:58.150th pole position for McLaren and it is Lewis Hamilton who has done
:56:58. > :57:01.it again. We thought he done it in from him. But I think this time
:57:01. > :57:10.David, they should get to keep their 150th pole. What a pole
:57:10. > :57:15.position it was. It wasn't just scraping by by one or two tenths.
:57:15. > :57:19.We have got a fantastic Grand Prix m teed up for tomorrow.
:57:19. > :57:24.So Hamilton takes pole position with the Lotus of Romain Grosjean.
:57:24. > :57:29.His best ever starting position. Vettel third. Button fourth. And
:57:29. > :57:34.then Kimi Raikkonen fifth. So both Lotuses are up. The two Ferraris
:57:34. > :57:40.are sixth and seventh. Nico Hulkenberg tenth. Mark Webber
:57:40. > :57:47.outside the top ten. He will be starting from 11th. It really hurts
:57:47. > :57:56.him today. Paul di Resta twelfth. Kobayashi, Vergne, Michael
:57:56. > :58:06.Schumacher, and Ricciardo and Vitaly Petrov, de la Rosa. So Lewis
:58:06. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:17.Lewis, I know it is noisy. Congratulations on your pole
:58:17. > :58:22.position and 150th pole position for McLaren, you must be delighted?
:58:22. > :58:27.Thank you. I am very, very proud of what me and the team have been able
:58:27. > :58:30.to achieve today. This weekend has been very strong and yeah, Jenson
:58:30. > :58:34.showed in the last race the competitiveness of the car and we
:58:34. > :58:38.brought that here this weekend and it feels fantastic. The lap is a
:58:38. > :58:42.beautiful track this and it was very, very flowing. A couple of
:58:42. > :58:46.amendments to the last corner meant that the track is a lot more
:58:46. > :58:51.consistent now and so much grip out there. It is awesome.
:58:51. > :58:54.You looked like you owned this racetrack. Both your qualifying
:58:54. > :58:58.runs were good enough. The confidence you must have had in the
:58:58. > :59:03.car. There were little bits of oversteer at low speed, but
:59:03. > :59:06.everything controlled? You always have a package and the job is to go
:59:06. > :59:11.out there and put it to the limit. There were oversteer moments and
:59:11. > :59:15.lots of corrections and I think the first lap I did in Q3, I was three
:59:15. > :59:20.tenths up there, but I lost it with a big oversteer moment. The last
:59:20. > :59:24.lap I did was a good competitor of that lap. The car has been
:59:24. > :59:30.fantastic. I have been tweaking it gently to get the set-up just right
:59:30. > :59:35.so it has just enough under steer and enough oversteer. That's the
:59:35. > :59:42.maximum the car is going to do. I am sure we will get good upgrades.
:59:42. > :59:47.Did you get a long run in this week? I did this week. A lot of
:59:47. > :59:51.people did their long runs today. You know, our programme has gone
:59:51. > :59:55.really, really well so far, but I am really, really looking forward
:59:55. > :59:56.to watching the Olympics as well. What a great show they put on last
:59:56. > :59:59.night It was amazing.
:00:00. > :00:04.Congratulations. Instead of sleeping you were
:00:04. > :00:08.watching the opening ceremony? watched a large part of it, but
:00:08. > :00:18.Team GB was out late so I had to go to bed.
:00:18. > :00:19.
:00:19. > :00:25.I saw you got to girlfriend ada? -- Grenada? A lot of my family were
:00:25. > :00:35.born in Grenada. I like to represent for them and for the UK.
:00:35. > :00:38.
:00:38. > :00:40.I hope it goes well tomorrow. For me today I've not been entirely
:00:40. > :00:44.happy with the car. What we have changed for qualifying is stuff
:00:44. > :00:47.that should help us more in the race than it will in qualifying.
:00:47. > :00:52.But all in all, fourth and it wasn't a good performance today so
:00:52. > :00:57.it shows that we've got some good pace. What were the track
:00:57. > :01:01.conditions like? It was pretty hot, so there is a
:01:01. > :01:05.big improvement through the session. The problem, is when you go flying,
:01:05. > :01:09.if you have to let someone past, you get the tyres dirty and I
:01:09. > :01:15.didn't feel that I cleaned mine for the start of the lap after letting
:01:15. > :01:18.Maldonado past. I wish he did the same for me but he didn't. He has a
:01:18. > :01:26.great record tharpbd circuit, won twice. I suppose it's the gap to
:01:26. > :01:29.his team-mate which is making him feel a little down -- a great
:01:29. > :01:34.record around this circuit? Half a second between team-mates, believe
:01:34. > :01:36.me that hurts, especially around a technical track like this. It's
:01:36. > :01:41.been consistently that gap and clearly the car's not giving him
:01:41. > :01:45.the confidence that we know when he has he delivers. He's never had a
:01:45. > :01:49.pole position for McLaren. Do you think that plays on his mind?
:01:49. > :01:55.relative performance to his team- mate is the most important factor.
:01:55. > :02:01.Of course, he's won Grand Prixs very early in his career for
:02:01. > :02:04.McLaren. He knows his strength is his racing ability and to make key
:02:04. > :02:14.decisions at times. I believe he's said before that Lewis Hamilton is
:02:14. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:22.the guy he can really drag a time from a difficult car. Romain
:02:23. > :02:26.Grosjean joins us now. Your best start this season? Yes, very good
:02:26. > :02:31.qualifying. Didn't look very strong at the beginning of the weekend and
:02:31. > :02:35.the team ended up doing a fantastic job. I got the confidence back into
:02:35. > :02:41.it. We have been working very hard trying to understand what was wrong
:02:41. > :02:46.since the last race and it's definitely that we are very happy
:02:46. > :02:53.at what we've achieved. We have to start at the front. The race will
:02:53. > :02:56.be another story but it's very hot. I hope the race pace will be good
:02:56. > :02:58.again tomorrow as has been the case this year so far then we can fight
:02:58. > :03:03.for the win. You say you were needing the
:03:03. > :03:06.confidence to build during the weekend. It looks like you were
:03:06. > :03:10.training Kimi for most of the practise session, so what gave you
:03:10. > :03:20.that confidence later in the practise session? We were really
:03:20. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:28.far to start with. That was strange. We came back and we managed to get
:03:28. > :03:31.a good lap. There was a problem for me but we managed to get quicker.
:03:31. > :03:35.Tell us, you have come so close to winning races this season,
:03:35. > :03:39.particularly in Valencia. How much do you want this heading into, not
:03:39. > :03:43.just the summer break obviously, but it would be great to have that
:03:43. > :03:48.momentum and reignite your Championship races? It must be
:03:48. > :03:51.something special. The first win must be delicious and the other
:03:51. > :03:57.Championship must be something more. I hope tomorrow we can get the
:03:57. > :04:03.first one done, but this is very much we don't know what is
:04:03. > :04:08.happening in the race. The car will work very well with a perfect start
:04:08. > :04:12.and strategy. If it's a problem, then it's not too bad as well to go
:04:12. > :04:15.on holiday. There is talk of rain showers tomorrow. Is your car still
:04:15. > :04:20.weather dependent? Does it still like the sunshine as most of us
:04:20. > :04:24.does? I hope not. I hope it's not the case like it was last time when
:04:24. > :04:34.we couldn't get a grip on the wet. I hope the summer stays on and that
:04:34. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:39.we have a clean, proper race. Mixed fortunes for Red Bull but
:04:39. > :04:43.today Webber didn't even make it out of Q2.
:04:43. > :04:48.After going fastest in FB3 this morning, I don't think anybody
:04:48. > :04:54.expected you to be knocked out at the end of Q2 Yeah, really
:04:54. > :05:00.surprised. I was struggling to match my old scrub time in Q2 than
:05:00. > :05:05.I was when I put the new set on which was very surprising. I did
:05:05. > :05:08.not have the main grip from the tyre and the car and in the end,
:05:08. > :05:11.you know, when the field's that tight, sometimes you are wondering
:05:11. > :05:15.what the rest are doing and sometimes you are wondering what
:05:15. > :05:21.you are doing and today was really disappointing because we went into
:05:21. > :05:29.qualifying well, Q2r1 was good, Q1 was good, then we go to go den and
:05:29. > :05:35.it didn't happen for us -- Q1 was good, Q2 was good. Mark not happy
:05:35. > :05:40.with the car? That's a measure of how close Formula One is this year.
:05:40. > :05:43.We have seen how close it is. When the drivers are hooked up and
:05:43. > :05:48.confident, they can deliver that extra two or three tenths. When
:05:48. > :05:52.they are not, you are fighting. Where do you think he was fighting
:05:52. > :05:56.today? He was missing the apexes slightly. Flofs big lock-ups. On
:05:56. > :06:00.the run-down to turn one, he spots his braking fair enough but he
:06:00. > :06:04.dozen commit to the turn and in tend misses the apex by about half
:06:04. > :06:09.a metre and gets away with it at turn one.
:06:09. > :06:13.It just looks like he's, this you go, small correction there again,
:06:13. > :06:19.once again a correction for oversteer, so contrasting
:06:19. > :06:22.difficulties. Red Bull struggling with oversteers, Jenson Button for
:06:22. > :06:28.example struggling with understeer as well. So much happens in the
:06:28. > :06:33.bunch up? It's the messy part of the grid, you get the concertina
:06:33. > :06:39.effect. He has the choice of tyres too. Top ten have to g with what
:06:39. > :06:44.they qualified and that may prove crucial in this Grand Prix -- go
:06:44. > :06:51.with what they qualifyed with. Vettel qualified third? It's
:06:51. > :06:56.difficult. Up and down for myself. I judged the feeling I got in Q 1
:06:56. > :07:03.and Q 2 and Q3. For Mark I'm not sure what happened. He obviously
:07:03. > :07:06.missed by a little bit to get into Q3 which is a shame. But
:07:06. > :07:10.nevertheless, I think for tomorrow, it will be a long race. We know
:07:10. > :07:16.it's difficult to overtake here so we'll see what we can do from third
:07:16. > :07:18.place. Hopefully we'll have a good start and yes, I think tyre
:07:18. > :07:25.degradation and tyre management will be crucial, probably two or
:07:25. > :07:32.three stops then we'll see what happens.
:07:32. > :07:37.We have seen Fernando Alonso take pole position for the last three
:07:37. > :07:42.Grand Prix but he had to take sixth today. What did you make of that
:07:42. > :07:49.one? It was good, better than expected because we were worried
:07:49. > :07:54.about Q3 possibilities with the Red Bull and McLaren. At the end, we
:07:54. > :07:59.made it in Q 3 and six is a reasonable position. At the moment,
:07:59. > :08:04.the Championship is Webber who is 11th so hopefully we can keep him
:08:04. > :08:10.behind. Where do we put Ferrari after today? Fernando was so strong
:08:10. > :08:13.at the last couple of races? Shows how much a difference that can make
:08:13. > :08:18.here, a much more technical racetrack here and you haven't
:08:18. > :08:21.really found any one sector with the cars performing well. Fernando
:08:21. > :08:27.said he's pleased with his qualifying position so this is
:08:27. > :08:31.about damage limitation, you won't get it right every time. Alonso's
:08:31. > :08:36.already thinking where Webber, who is just behind him in the
:08:36. > :08:42.Championship's qualify and he said, it doesn't matter, he's 11th.
:08:42. > :08:47.knows he has the comfort zone of having more than a victory in hand.
:08:47. > :08:50.He didn't win to World Championships by accident, but by
:08:50. > :08:55.being a clever racing driver. We are in the second half of the
:08:55. > :09:03.season. We are in race 11. He knows it's about damage limitation, get
:09:03. > :09:06.out there, bring the car home and continue his 100% racing record.
:09:06. > :09:11.A difficult day former say Indonesia. They came here with such
:09:11. > :09:16.high hopes but it just didn't work out. Schumacher starting 17th?
:09:16. > :09:20.weekend started badly. He crashed on Friday. He said it didn't affect
:09:20. > :09:25.the performance of the car but Saturday running they weren't able
:09:25. > :09:30.to balance it. He was having to compromise the set-up to get the
:09:30. > :09:35.best out of the Pirellis. They've been saying how difficulties to get
:09:35. > :09:39.the tyres up to temperature. Will that affect them on Sunday? Michael
:09:39. > :09:46.wasn't able to get the confidence to carry speed into the corner.
:09:46. > :09:53.He's ont run-down to turn one crucial here to start the lap well.
:09:53. > :09:57.He already knows he's been cost time. Goes to lap two, same thing,
:09:57. > :10:02.out on the dust and by this point, the lap's gone. Pretty much he
:10:02. > :10:06.knows he'll have to back out of that lap and do another lap on the
:10:06. > :10:10.tyres which will always compromise your time. A long race for Michael
:10:10. > :10:20.tomorrow. A few surprises out there today. Here is Ben with a look at
:10:20. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:06.So that is how they line up. Gary, you have pwhn talking a look at how
:11:06. > :11:11.best the win the Grand Prix. What is the secret? Quite a few ways,
:11:11. > :11:14.but for the tyre data, a two top race is the fastest way to do it,
:11:14. > :11:18.three stops not far behind. The more stops you do, the more chance
:11:18. > :11:22.there is of getting caught in slow traffic. A two and three stop and
:11:23. > :11:25.maybe some guys in midfield going for the one stop to try to stay out
:11:25. > :11:29.the traffic. So basically anything can happen. We have heard that
:11:29. > :11:32.before haven't we?! So we are spoiled for sport at the moment. If
:11:32. > :11:36.you would like to watch the Olympic coverage, it continues on BBC One
:11:36. > :11:41.and HD. We are back tomorrow at 5 o'clock on BBC One and HD for the
:11:41. > :11:44.high lielts andry action from the Hungarian Grand Prix. -- highlights.
:11:44. > :11:48.This is a race that rarely disappoints. What can we expect
:11:48. > :11:51.tomorrow? Lewis Hamilton's looked supreme. Can he sustain that over
:11:51. > :11:58.the Grand Prix? My feeling is if he gets off the line, he can, but Red
:11:58. > :12:03.Bull, as we know, and Vettel, have a strong car as well. Grosjean,
:12:03. > :12:07.who'd bet against Lotus getting their first win. It's a hard race
:12:07. > :12:11.this, physically tough, tyre strategy is going to be absolutely
:12:11. > :12:16.crucial. There is the talk as well that we might get the big storm
:12:16. > :12:20.which has been brewing up nicely. It's heading this way, we are going
:12:21. > :12:25.to have to get our rain coats out again?! They would be terribly
:12:25. > :12:30.disappointing for us and Lotus as well, but it would be a good thing
:12:30. > :12:35.for Ferrari, of course, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso too.
:12:35. > :12:38.Heading into the summer break, is this when in some ways it's more
:12:38. > :12:42.important because you get the momentum and the confidence boost
:12:42. > :12:46.when you have had a few weeks off? They know they've broke tn back of
:12:46. > :12:51.the halfway point in the season and are down to nine races after this
:12:51. > :12:55.one - ten. G karying a good result here is important for the drivers
:12:55. > :12:58.that want to take the battle to Alonso to peg him back. What would
:12:58. > :13:02.your hard-earned money be on tomorrow? Lewis Hamilton looks like
:13:02. > :13:05.the most likely. Thank you very much for your company. After a
:13:05. > :13:09.horrible 100th Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to make 101
