F1 Race: Hungary (qualifying spoiler)

Red Bull, 1,2. Other than the start , is this going to be a parade or what?

Qualifying results:
Sebastian Vettel, 1m 18.773s, P1
Mark Webber, 1m 19.184s, P2
Fernando Alonso, 1m 19.987s, P3
Felipe Massa, 1m 20.331s, P4
Lewis Hamilton, 1m 20.499s, P5
Nico Rosberg, 1m 21.082s, P6

To say the dynamic duo has the field covered would be an understatement. It might be interesting to see the "teammates" duke it out though, or Alonso/Massa/Hamilton sneaking into P1 at the start.

More interesting will be all the whining about the flexible front wing elements. To be honest the race is almost an afterthought these days. They should combine the bottom 3 or 4 teams into one team that can actually put a reasonably competitive car on the grid.

Vettel has repeatedly had terrible starts this season. Everyone knows that turn one, lap one will be the whole race (unless there is a SC at some point). It'll be a chaotic first 5 seconds or so. There likely will be some other interesting battles to be had. If the race is clean it'll be won in the first turn. Otherwise it will be determined by the stewards...

I think that thought was advanced by Steve Matchet a week or so ago. If not, I heard something similar. I think they ought to have 2 heats like m/c and invert one of the starts.

Let's see if Vettel tries to push his teammate into the wall at the start.

Will Webster? Will Vettel? Will Alonso? Will Hamilton? Yeah, the first turn will be interesting. We will see about the rest.

He did try to push Alonzo over, then he did something else stupid and blamed it on everyone and everything other than himself...

Yes, both of them. Then frigging Vetel trys to say that he could not hear anyone on the radio. Well kid, there are lights all over the place and if you cannot see them then you do not need to be in a F1 car.
