The Hungarian Pole Poll

Hungary is often described as "Monaco without the houses", but as well as being twisty it is also very dusty which means if you think it's hard to overtake at Monaco you ain't seen nothing yet. Unless it rains.

But it might rain.

McLaren seemed to have a massive advantage over Ferrari at Monaco for which the blame was placed squarely on the long wheel base, something Ferrari won't have been able to change, but certainly other Ferrari improvements should have brought them much closer.

To win the race you really want to be in 1, 2 or 3. The pole sitter wins a lot, but starting off-line in the dust of 2nd brings you very close to danger from the 3rd place man. Probably expect the 1st place man to scamper off as 2nd and 3rd place swap.

If it rains watch Jenson as everyone is saying he was pretty quick last race (0.2 seconds a lap faster than Alonso) and he also won this race last year in the wet.

Apparnently it's really hot in Hungary and suffering from occasional showers. If that happens in the race then it will be mega, if not then we'll probably be faced with a bit of a procession. All the more reason to be paying attention in qualifying - that's where a lot of the action will be!

Go on then, seeing as I have to go to f****** IKEA again, I'll go first :)

I know that's mad for 8th but there you go. If Adrian's not going to go for Sato somebody's got to fish for excitement.


 
For pole Alonso.

1. Alonso
2. Raikkonen
3. Hamilton
4. Massa
5. Heidfeld
6. Rosberg
7. Kovalienen
8. Schumacher

Crazy prediction of the week: Damon Hill gets fed up of seeing these young kids make mistakes, kicks Yamamoto out of his car during a pit-stop, accelerates away into the first corner and straight into a barrier.


 
Well everyone had Alonso for the win and that looks unlikely now... But with me having the only Lewis Pole I'm quids in (unless the pole is quashed in a few weeks at the appeal which will play merry havoc with our championship no doubt)


 
I cry foul!


 
Ah the pole in incontestable. So I start 2 points up!


 
I know this was an innocent spelling mistake by Alex, but could I just point out that the new driver for Toro Rosso is not a bottled water drink - it's 'Vettel', not 'Vittel'.
